| - 3 1/2 stars to be sure. I don't normally review places that are non-eatery but of course Costco has a food court!
Sure you get to 'join' the Costco club for a fee, the parking is horrible on weekends, the gas is fairly cheap, the return policy is pretty awesome...and where else can I get a 10 lb. tub of mayonnaise in case I want a sandwich? And of course every friggin' time I go there I HAVE TO buy a damn rotisserie chicken! I dunno what they brine these lil' buggers with but I tell ya' (my guess is it's part crack), it's one of the better roasted chickens I've had. At $5 bucks a chicken it's the cheapest high I've ever had!
Moving on, this is of course about Costco's food court. One item in particular. Did you know that Costco now serves gelato? Good, creamy gelato? With decently fresh ingredients gelato? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it on the menu! I just had to try it. You get to choose from three flavors: Very Berry, Vanilla Chocolate Chip, and Pistachio. Wow, so good! Pistachio was definitely my favorite. Smooth, with real pistachios in there. Here's the best part...it's really cheap! Really! You can get a waffle cone with three HUGE scoops of gelato (choice of flavors all you) for $1.50! I ended up trying a scoop of each. I'd choose this over the ice cream cup any day of the week. You can also get a pint of their delicious gelato for $4.99. We liked it so much we ended up driving back to Costco twice in one week...just for gelato!
But of course I just couldn't go to Costo just for gelato so after a brief look at the goodies I got me a yummy $1.50 hot dog and drink as well. And a slice of their combo pizza. And one of their new carne asada bakes. To take home to share of course! Well, I actually ate the hot dog by myself (still one of the best lunch deals around), ate half of the slice of pizza, and took a bite or two out of the carne asada bake. Wow, I just realized I really do need to work on my 'sharing'. But I did share my gelato with my lady mainly because she paid for the food! I may be a bit selfish but I'm not an A$$h*le HA HA!
So go to Costco, buy yourself a fresh rotisserie chicken, then stop by the food court on the way out to buy yourself some gelato too. Just be sure to share if you're not alone!
