Not only is it time to set clocks back an hour, its time to start promoting Moreno Valley businesses and restaurants again. Todays featured eating place, The Flame Broiler, is one of those establishments I have driven by many times but never thought about trying until yesterday. I had just dropped off my last bunch of political mailers (Woo Hoo!) at the main post office on Alessandro when I decided I wanted to get something quick to eat. Right next to the car wash that I have also never tried, is a very small group of stores, the most recognizable being 7-11. That is also where The Flame Broiler is located, 23550 Alessandro Blvd. (Its at the corner of Alessandro Blvd. and Graham St.) I didnt know what to expect. I thought it might be something like El Pollo Loco. I had no idea is was such a large franchise chain and the focus was on healthy eating. That was good for me since I have been eating too many carbs lately. Its actually more on the vein of a very healthy Yoshinoya Beef Bowl. According to their website, it was founded by Young Lee, who had recently graduated from UCLA with a degree economics, had joined the workforce and often found himself on the road. However, he discovered that restaurants serving healthy meals were few and far in between. Entrepreneurial in nature, in 1995 he opened the first restaurant in Orange County that served simple, healthy fast food. What better way to solve a problem than to solve it yourself? And that he did. There are 165 Flame Broiler stores. The menu is somewhat limited. I had the grilled chicken and Angus beef bowl with brown rice. The meat tasted fresh and tender; the brown rice was fluffy and moist. I thought it was a little pricey at $6.10 a bowl. However, it was worth it. Yesterday the place was busy with military folk, which is always a good sign. Here is a link to their website where you can learn more about their menu and offerings. The Flame Broiler gets from me a Definitely will go back rating. flamebroilerusa/
