Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill: Feel Good About Eating

By Erin

Have you been to Sharky’s yet? Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill recently opened its 22nd restaurant in Northridge. At Sharky’s they are all about using innovative and creative recipes and using local, natural and organic ingredients. Their passion for the variety of flavors of Mexico and using organic and natural foods is evident in every bite. I was invited to attend a media lunch sponsored by Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill in Northridge. I made the trek up the 405 to come here from Long Beach, that’s how good it is.

Sharky’s is a fresh & modern, fast casual restaurant that serves Mexican cuisine that wants to make you “feel good about eating” again. The visual appearance is also appealing and welcoming. With a sky-high, sloping roofline and outdoor patio with comfortable seating and a communal firepit that is perfect for people watching or to spend time with family and friends.

The second you step into Sharky’s, you will notice the open and welcoming space. With 20-foot ceilings, cozy booths, a dining bar with prime TV viewing, or a community table, you have many seating options depending on your needs on any particular visit. The Northridge location is at the corner of Nordhoff & Reseda Blvd and is within walking distance from Cal State Northridge. I can totally see this place being packed by students either waiting for classes to start, taking a lunch or dinner break, or after classes to relax and hang-out. I know I would be making this my go-to spot if I were a student at CSUN or worked super close by!
Sharky's Salsa Bar

A couple other things you will notice; the fresh salsa bar and the beautiful bar which serves craft beers, Sangria & kombucha. I loved the Sangria, look at all of the fruit inside!

Who would of thought that kombucha would be served at a bar at a Mexican restaurant? The Kombucha has been a successful addition according to David Goldstein, who is Sharky’s COO. I chose to stick with my fruity sangria though. 😛

Picnicking with Good Boy Organics!

By Erin

You have probably noticed by now that I love to have picnics and tea parties and anything else that will get me outdoors. Well, I found a product here when I attended Expo West back in March that is just PERFECT for a nice spring or summer picnic! It is called Good Boy Organics!

Good Boy Organics

Good Boy Organics has two products that I reviewed.  BOPS (Baked Organic Potato Snack) pictured here in four different flavors and the Organicasaurus. All of their products are USDA certified organic, certified gluten-free,  have no preservatives, no trans fat, and are baked, not fried. The BOPS also have 65% less fat in them than regular potato chips! These chips are a reduced fat alternative to fried potato chips. I am also in love with the packaging. The packaging for the BOPS makes me want to have a picnic every time I look at it! Good Boy Organics focus is on Certified Organic products for the entire family. Look for them at your local grocer!
