So I recently told you about Stacked, the new location that is serving breakfast Huntington Beach! Well, this month (which is almost over) you’re going to HAVE to plan a lunch or dinner to catch Stacked’s March Signature items which include a Chicken Pesto Mac and Cheese, Basil Pesto & Wild Arugula Flat Bread and a Wild Arugula Mediterranean Salad.
We were invited to sample the Monthly Signature Menu items at Stacked Huntington Beach. Now I’m not really a fan of anything having to do with Pesto, but I decided I was going to try it anyway – and BOY AM I A FAN NOW!!!
The Basil Pesto and Wild Arugula Flatbread was amazing. Imagine a delicious flatbread with tons of pesto, wild arugula and mozzarella cheese with grape tomatoes and red onion drizzled over the top. I could have made a meal out of this appetizer and wouldn’t have to share! This flatbread is only offered at the Huntington Beach location – all other locations offer this menu item as a pizza.
Next the hubster and I decided to share a Wild Arugula Mediterranean Salad. This was a mix of wild arugula and a spring lettuce mix topped with delicious artichoke hearts, toasted whole almonds, red and green peppers, and feta cheese sprinkled throughout. The champagne vinaigrette was the perfect dressing on this light salad. Oh, and don’t forget the olives – they just completed the flavor of this tasty salad.
The Stacked Chicken Pesto Mac N Cheese is a hearty signature menu item that the hubster and I both though was incredibly delicious. I actually MADE him split it with me, because I couldn’t get enough after the first bite. Created from a traditional mac n cheese, this version has the basil pesto mix, grilled mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, sliced Roma tomatos and roasted garlic. The hubster also added to personalize this dish and added bacon because he knows it is a favorite of mine. A MUST order!
I ordered the Pesto Chicken Sandwich which was just as equally tasty as the rest of the March Signature dishes at Stacked. A brioche bun lathered with basil pesto mayo, a plump chicken breast that is topped with melted gouda cheese, a tomato slice, wild arugula and a thin crispy parmesan breadcrumb topping is a great sandwich for either lunch or dinner. Mix it with any salad and you have the perfect meal.
Now my little man was looking forward to the March Signature Shake – The Thin Mint Shake, however, we were told they are currently out of Thin Mints. Obviously it was a fan favorite! So, he decided he’d stick with the just as wonderful Mint Shake.
However, the rest of us decided on the Peanut Butter Heaven. And let me tell you, the name is absolutely appropriate! It’s all about peanut butter and every bit as delicious as a little bit of heaven. Two giant peanut butter cookies with fudge swirl ice cream with peanut butter cups; topped with whipped cream and peanuts and a little caramel drizzle on the side to dip it in. This is seriously one of my ultimate favorite desserts now! Writing it up, I’m ready to go back tomorrow and order another one!
Hurry up and get to Stacked before this month’s signature items are gone!!!
