Spring Has Sprung at Stacked!

By Erin

Spring has arrived at Stacked! Stacked has some new delicious spring inspired items featuring wild arugula and pesto! This is a great restaurant for families, friends, dates, whoever you feel like having a great meal with! If you’ve been following my foodie adventures for a while, you know this place pretty well by now and that you can find new and amazing creations here all the time. If you’re new here, make sure to check out some of my other posts about Stacked and the other tasty options that you can find here at the bottom of this post. When Stacked asked if I’d like to come in to try the new items on the Spring Menu, I just had to come check it out.

Stacked: Food Well Built in Cerritos.

To start out our evening, we had some cocktails. Stacked has so many delicious choices to choose from, and we were starting off spring break, so my friend and I both opted for some refreshing martinis. I had the Peachy Martini shown on the left here; Malibu Pineapple Rum, Peach Schnapps, Cranberry Juice and Pineapple Juice. My friend had the Raspberry Lemon Drop shown on the right, Absolut Raspberri and Lemon Juice. We both ended up loving the Peachy Martini drink. It was like drinking liquid candy and I love peaches!

If you come to Stacked, then you have to order the candied bacon... it just wouldn’t be the same without it!! 😉

The Wild Arugula Mediterranean Salad: Wild Arugula and spring lettuce mix with artichoke hearts, green and red peppers, grape tomatoes, toasted almonds, and feta cheese. Tossed with a light champagne vinaigrette. We added shrimp to the salad, which made for a wonderful and delicious spring salad. I totally want to order this again.

Next we tried the Basil Pesto and Wild Arugula Pizza: Basil pesto, grape tomatoes, red onion, wild arugula and Mozzarella cheese. This was a very tasty pizza, very light and probably a better option than loading up your pizza with all the different meat options. 😛

Stacked: Seasonal Treats for the Holidays!

By Erin

*I was invited as media to come check out the special bread pudding at Stacked for the holidays!*

Stacked has been serving up some special holiday treats this season! One thing in particular: Bread pudding! The classic dessert favorite that transcends generations with its richness and warmth, has made its grand debut this holiday season at STACKED: Food Well Built. With Stacked’s trademark personalized twist, guests can enjoy 22 topping options to customize their bread pudding creation for a limited time.

Stacked’s new bread pudding starts out with freshly baked Challah bread, cream, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, toasted walnuts and a hint of vanilla. Guests will be able to STACK their bread pudding with sauces like caramel, chocolate, peanut butter, strawberry and hot fudge. Other flavorful toppings include bananas, strawberries, Reese’s® peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, marshmallows, peanuts, toasted almonds, whipped cream and candied bacon. You can also add to your creation with six flavors of ice cream including vanilla, fudge swirl with peanut butter, double fudge brownie, strawberry, mint chocolate chip and coffee.

Here is the creation of bread pudding that we had. With so many toppings it was a little hard to get to the bread pudding part, but when we did, boy was it good!

“Rich and satisfying bread pudding is one of those desserts that warms your soul, and we’ve reinvented traditional bread pudding as only Stacked can – with many, many ways to make it exactly as you’ve dreamed about,” said Paul Motenko, Co-founder, STACKED Restaurants LLC.

The Kahlua Hot Chocolate is another holiday treat you won’t want to miss.

Winter Cocktails. Very yummy!

Of course we had to have a little bit of dinner before diving into all the sweet treats, so we started with some warm Spinach and Artichoke dip. The nights have been so cold, so this dip is perfect to help warm you right up! Spinach and artichokes, blended with cheese and garlic, then topped with a tangy tomato relish. Served with crispy tortilla chips.

Vampires Beware: It’s Garlic Month at STACKED!

By Erin

It’s Garlic Month at Stacked this October! Get ready to enjoy garlic inspired Signature Menu Items all month long. From sandwiches, to burgers, mac & cheese, pizza and more, Stacked has something everyone will love for garlic month (unless you’re a vampire, then probably not)! Of course I had to go and try it out for myself. I approve. 😉

Before getting started on all the new signature items, we had to start off with an old favorite, The Candied BACON!! It’s so addicting. It’s a Stacked staple and once you’ve had them, you cannot come here and NOT order these! It’s the perfect mix of sweet and salty. Paired with some hard cider, it’s a match made in heaven. Yummmmm.

Ready to see what’s on the line-up for this month?

Garlic Shrimp Mac: Creamy Mac ‘N’ Cheese with shrimp, Fresh Garlic, Roasted Red Pepper, Roma Tomato and green onion, topped with Parmesan Breadcrumbs. What’s not to love about mac ‘n’ cheese? You’ll love this garlic and shrimp version that will leave you craving more.

Garlic Chicken Sandwich: Grilled Chicken Breast with Swiss Cheese, Tomato, Avocado and green leaf lettuce on a rustic French Roll with a house-made Garlic Aioli. It’s perfect if you want to indulge in something on the lighter side. I would add bacon to this. I love bacon and avocado on anything!

Steak Salad with Creamy Garlic Dressing: Flat Iron Steak, Crispy Bacon, Gouda cheese, red onion, grape tomatoes and roasted garlic on a bed or Romaine Lettuce, tossed with a Creamy Garlic Dressing. This salad is amazing! I think it’s my new favorite. My friend that was with me said the same thing. She LOVES the ‘Cow in the Garden’ salad Stacked has, but now she thinks this one takes the cake as the new favorite. So, it’s not just me that thinks this salad is perfection!

Garlic Chicken and Bacon Pizza: Hand Stretched Pizza Crust that is topped with a tasty garlic sauce, Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheeses, Roasted Chicken, Bacon, grape tomatoes and green onions. The garlic sauce really helps make this one! So much goodness stacked onto one pizza!

Garlic Parmesan Bacon Burger: a fresh Angus Beef stacked with Applewood Smoked Bacon, roasted garlic, Parmesan Cheese, green leaf lettuce and tomato on a Brioche Bun with a creamy herb dressing. I loved this one, with all the flavor from the barcon, garlic, and parmesan cheese, it’s is sure to make your mouth happy!

Garlic Parmesan Fries: Fries tossed with fresh garlic and topped with fresh parmesan and green onions. Great as an appetizer or to go with your burger or sandwich. I’m always a sucker for some garlic fries!

Don’t forget about Dessert! Cool off and take the edge off all that garlic with one of these special shakes! Choose from either the Pumpkin Pie Shake or the Mint Shake! The Pumpkin Pie Shake shown here is the ‘adult version’ that is called the ‘Jack-O-Lantern.’ Both were a perfect way to end our garlic filled meal. The mint shake is just minty enough, but the mint flavor is not overpowering. The Jack-O-Lantern has a lovely pumpkin spice taste with a kick.

Which Items do you want to try out this month? Get in the Halloween Spirit and fight off some Vampires with these delicious dishes! 😉
