We were compelled to high-tail it to Costco on a Thursday afternoon in order to take advantage of the latest round of coupons that were about to expire – with a free lunch in mind, as well, of course. And the Los Feliz Costco did not disappoint.
In fact, it was one of the best non-holiday-period free sample selections we’ve yet to see, not huge on quantity, but very high on quality and portions. Our highest ratings – along with California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken and Raybern Philly Cheesesteak – go to multiple offerings of Green Chopsticks dumplings and potstickers. We’re talking four at a time, from pork to chicken to cheese – and they insisted everyone sample at least one of each (we ended up eating eight apiece). Huge props to the Green Chopsticks folks manning the display, slinging trays loaded with food for the hungry masses. And it did draw a large crowd.
Overall, all the helpings were generous and abundant; we were offered seconds and took them. We left full. We also left with a 1.75 liter bottle of Smirnoff Vodka, a steal at $15.99, as well as a box of delicious Crazy Cuisine Teriyaki Chicken, which we discovered via a free sample.
Here’s the rest of the lunch lineup, a solid A-minus:
Kirkland Albacore Tuna on crackers (we always keep a case at home)
Oatmeal Squares
Naked Protein Drink (chocolate and banana)
Kirkland Shepards Pie
Pasta Salad with Italian Dressing
Multigrain Crackers
