I can't believe no one has written about this little food stand!…read more My fiance and I paid a visit to the vet this Saturday and were heading to Costco. We saw that a small Farmer's Market was going on in the Bishop Ranch complex #3 (adjacent to GE Software's lot). Since we needed vegetables that Costco probably wouldn't have (or have in the mega Duggar family pack), we decided to make a quick detour into this small farmer's market. Man, are we glad we did. I mean this FM is much, much smaller than the one we went to in Pleasanton. But at the end of the rows of vegetable and other stalls was this delicious aroma of grilled food. Since we hadn't eaten lunch and Costco food was NOT a healthy option, we decided to take a peek at Gorgeous Gorilla. While I don't want to make a definitive statement about the ethnic origin of the food, my guess is either Jamaican or (generically) Caribbean. They had Jerk chicken, Oxtail, shrimp, and grilled salmon. Also they serve their plate meals with red beans and rice. Oh snap, I love red beans and rice! And best of all: fried plantains. They also serve it with a small side of a fruit salad which is heavy on the mangos. Nice. We also ordered a positively awesome strawberry fruit drink which we know used fresh strawberries from a vendor down the row of veggie stands. We saw him deliver two boxes of strawberries while we ate lunch. We shared a jerk chicken plate and that was enough for us because we didn't want to fill up too much before shopping. The flavors were AMAZING on every part of the meal, esp the chicken. while I've had much spicier jerk chicken in the past, this one was one I'd consider a very mild jerk flavor. Maybe if I ask for what the locals would eat would they turn it up a notch. They let me know that they are there every Thursday in the same lot, so I'm going to make another trip next week as this Thursday I won't be in the area. But for now, here's some pics to whet your appetite!

We visited the San Ramon Farmers Market today and decided to give this Hawaiian barbecue spot a…read moretry. So glad we did! We ordered the large chicken plate, and it was absolutely delicious! It came with two generously sized chicken thighs, which we loved because we much prefer dark meat over white meat for its richer flavor. The chicken was beautifully marinated, packed with flavor, and grilled to perfection. It honestly reminded us of the amazing barbecue chicken we had in Maui! One thing to be mindful of: they charge an additional $3 per dish if you pay by card. That seems like a pretty steep surcharge just to cover credit card processing fees. Unfortunately, we didn't bring cash today, but we'll definitely remember to bring some next time. Overall, fantastic Hawaiian barbecue with authentic island flavors and generous portions. We'd happily come back!

They can sometimes get busy especially after 11am, but they'll usually let you know if there is a longer than average wait. I usually opt for the double chicken island special which comes with three pieces of chicken and a side tomato & cucumber salad (tangy and fresh). The chicken is never raw and has a great smoky taste to it. There's not really a sauce but it is marinaded and grilled well.

They have additional extras like agua fresca, horchata, rice/beans, etc for an extra fee which I thought were good options. They even made some of our guests quesadillas and mini burritos. It was really nice! They also package all the leftovers for you. Will definitely use them again!
