Holy cow! Original Tommy's has finally opened in Ventura. It sports a drive through window and a huge 800 square-foot patio as well as an ideal location just off the 101 Freeway near Victoria Avenue.
Look for it at 5663 Valentine Road. The burger joint famous for its car lube – like chili opened officially on December 15, 2011, at 10:30 AM, in the new Ventura location. By no means a new business, Original Tommy's was founded in 1946 by Tom Koulax.
Though closed on Christmas Day, original Tommy's Ventura will be open seven days a week and 24 hours a day for those needing their burger and chili fix.
Watch for our review of original Tommy's in Ventura as part of our Ventura Restaurants review coverage. Happy eating!

Urbane Café Ventura - Restaurant Reviews
I stopped for lunch today at one of the most potentially interesting of Ventura restaurants: the Urbane Café over by Barnes & Noble. Yes that's Urbane with an E, not urban.
The Urbane Café is interesting for a couple of reasons. First the menu is fairly reasonably priced. Next that same menu is full of seemingly delicious sounding items that also appear to be relatively healthy to consume.
While the place tries to give you the sense that it's a tiny local eating establishment, the truth is the Ventura Urbane Café is one of six locations, so far, in a rapidly growing restaurant chain.
I've eaten at the Ventura location several times over the past few years, with mixed results. I really want to like the place. I really do. Just listen to some of these sample items from their menu: Rosemary Chicken Sandwich - grilled rosemary chicken, roasted red bell pepper, provolone cheese, green leaf lettuce, and aioli sauce. Sounds good, yes?

Heirloom Tomato aka Heritage Tomato - Bagel & Cream Cheese Picture
Oh, Ashkenazi Jewish Soul Food nirvana! The only things missing were Lox, red onions and capers. Next time. In this picture of food - delicious food, we have a garden fresh heirloom tomato, something the British call a heritage tomato I've learned, sliced atop a bagel spread with cream cheese.
This delightful combination makes for a great breakfast, brunch or lunch side dish, or with the Lox and friends included, the centerpiece of a meal.

Food Photo - Vintage Diner With A Twist
Check out this cool new food photo shot in a classic vintage style capturing the moments before meal delivery at an American Diner or cafe table.
Note that the water glass is not so vintage - it is a biodegradable variety that can be tossed out without recycling.
