Gaby's Mediterranean

Gaby's Mediterranean

I think I have eaten out more in the last month than in the last year combined!! Over this past long weekend, we decided last minute to spend some time at the beach. Thankfully it has finally cooled down (to 89 degrees) so the beach weather was perfect! Since we were planning on grilling up a feast the next day, we wanted something that wouldn't be too heavy but that would soak up some of the wine we had been consuming earlier. JenFinn suggested Gaby's and what an excellent suggestion it was. The prices are reasonable, the food is fantastic and the service is quick and friendly. After we (quickly) learned there was no wine, Jen ventured out to grab a bottle of white and we weren't charged a corkage fee. It went really well with my chicken kebab dinner. You better believe my plate was clean in no time. FYI, this was a really great meal, but with raw onions, hot sauce, and garlic sauce, I am glad I wasn't macking on anyone that night.

Fortunately, I have an urban dictionary that got me through the word macking without making a fool of myself. No, I won't tell you how old I am :-). It looks like you found a fantastic spot to eat. The food looks wonderful.

Hahahaha you can mack on someone with raw onions, just make sure they're eating them too! Raw onions cancel each other out :D

I think I need to find a boyfriend or husband who is okay with the taste of garlic and onions. I eat so much of both, I don't think it would work out any other way!

That looks really good right now! They're also on restaurant.com, which is having a HUGE sale right now.

Now I want to go out to eat. My pizza is all gone, I had the rest for breakfast. Oh yeah, I ate that cheeseburger cold with my hot latte, and I'm not ashamed.
Girl I love that word 'macking'. That's something I want to do with Jesse.
And yes, I know your summers last forever....BRAT!
