Mix n’ Munch!

So…when my friend Heather told me she was opening a restaurant in South Pasadena I was pretty excited. First, anyone who knows Heather knows she’s a gal who LOVES her food…and everyone else’s food as well. Her passion and vision for good food is something I would support blindly any day. Even more, it’s a family affair! Heather’s husband Abraham, her sister and her husband are partnering to make sure their vision is met to the very last detail.

She then told me the concept and I couldn’t help but get overcome by memories of my childhood;

A gourmet grilled cheese and cereal bar for the masses. Let your tastes, mood and creativity run wild. Mix n’ Munch is your tummy’s playground!

Heather says it best:

“When we first thought of opening a cereal bar, we wanted to offer an additional menu item that was simple and delicious. To us, it was a no-brainer to offer another classic food item that we believe most people grew up eating, and never really stopped loving, the grilled cheese sandwich. Instead of just one or two types of grilled cheese, we wanted to continue with our theme of customizable food and provide a variety of cheeses (American, Cheddar, Muenster, Gruyere etc), breads (Whole Wheat, White, Shepherds etc) and additional toppings (bacon, caramelized onions, etc) for people to choose from.

As for the cereal part… »

Our cereal bar will consist of approximately 30 varieties of cereal, 20 mix-ins and several milk options. We hope to accommodate all taste buds and diets by offering cereals ranging from the super sweet to the super healthy and everything in between. Our mix-ins will be along the same lines ranging from fresh fruit and ground flax to Oreos and chocolate sprinkles In addition to whole, 2% and non-fat milk, we will also offer lactaid, soy milk and rice milk. Other items such as homemade tomato soup, fresh oatmeal and yogurt parfaits will be available. We are still in the process of finalizing our menu.”
