American Favorites are at Home at Russell’s

I talk about Pasadena’s restaurants a lot. I work in on office with people who love food. I’m married to a foodie. It just comes natural. In my book there’s nothing better than comfort food. And when it comes to comfort food, there’s no place better than Russell’s in Old Pasadena. Some of my co-workers felt like indulging the other day, so we headed over for lunch. After we settled into a comfy booth we opened the menus and our mouths immediately began to water. We started with the fried mozzarella and zucchini. You can see where this lunch was headed! After finishing that in record time, we ordered a BLT, Frisco burger and avocado & bacon cheeseburger, respectively. When the food arrived, the burger was one of the tallest we’d ever seen. They definitely don’t scrimp on the portions here! The fries were crisp and the BLT had creamy slices of avocado on it. It was all simple, and it was all delicious. Russell’s also offers great sandwiches, salads, pastas and more. So, the next time you’re in Old Pasadena, stop in. You’re guaranteed to leave happy!
