Discover the Flavorful Transformation of Fast Food at Flame Broiler: A Healthy Alternative Awaits!


 Written By: Ken Hulsey

If you're on the West Coast and looking for a fantastic fast food option, let me introduce you to a little treasure known as Flame Broiler. This delightful chain prides itself on offering a healthier alternative to the typical fast food fare of burgers and fried chicken. Their menu is refreshingly straightforward, yet incredibly satisfying, featuring wholesome bowls of either fluffy brown or white rice as a base. You can choose from tasty options like beef, chicken, or tofu, and then top your dish with a vibrant mix of fresh vegetables.


Now, you might think that this sounds a bit plain, but don’t be fooled! The magic truly happens with their signature sauces, which range from mild and tangy to bold and fiery. When you combine all these elements, you end up with a meal that's not only nutritious but packed with flavor!



Let’s dive into a bit of history. The mastermind behind Flame Broiler, Young Lee, had just graduated from UCLA with a degree in economics when he found himself facing a common challenge—finding restaurants that served healthy meals while he was navigating his new job and spending time on the road. Realizing the gap in the market, Young decided to take matters into his own hands. In 1995, he opened the very first Flame Broiler in Orange County, determined to create a place where people could enjoy simple, healthy fast food.

Thanks to a winning concept that resonated with health-conscious customers, word of Flame Broiler's quick service and delicious offerings spread like wildfire. Young quickly found himself busy serving a diverse and enthusiastic clientele, attracted by the promise of nutritious and tasty meals. Today, the Flame Broiler family has expanded beyond California, reaching food lovers in states like Arizona, Florida, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and North Carolina. So if you find yourself near one of their locations, don’t hesitate to stop by and treat yourself to a bowl of goodness!

Nature's Call: How Our National Parks Inspired a Deeper Connection with the Environment

Image
 Written By Ken Hulsey If you have been following this blog over the past few months, you have likely seen several posts about how much Terri and I have enjoyed watching documentaries about our nation's breathtaking natural parks. If you're interested in starting to explore these documentaries yourself, I recommend beginning with Ken Burns' PBS documentary, The National Parks: America's Best Idea. In this series, you will learn how each park was chosen for preservation and the significant roles that influential figures like John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt played in their development. Like Terri and me, you will likely find yourself captivated by the stunning scenery and nature footage.

Pastor Leanne Matthesius: You Will Be Rescued

Image
 I just wanted to quickly share this very powerful and inspiring message I watched yesterday by Pastor Leanne Matthesius of Awaken Church in San Diego. She was actually preaching this message as a guest speaker at Legacy Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I feel that her core message is that the church and Christians in general should be emboldened in this time of crisis in our nation. Check this out: 1 Samual 11 Saul Rescues the City of Jabesh 11 Nahash[ a ] the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to him, “Make a treaty with us, and we will be subject to you.” 2 But Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you only on the condition that I gouge out the right eye of every one of you and so bring disgrace on all Israel.” 3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days so we can send messengers throughout Israel; if no one comes to rescue us, we will surrender to you.” 4 When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul a...

91X - XETRA-FM 91.1 FM San Diego | America's Best Rock Station | The Original Cutting Edge of Rock

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey This has been a profoundly sentimental week for me. It all started when I discovered that an old friend from my church congregation used to live in my hometown of Whittier, California. Before the first service, I found myself reminiscing about the local landmarks with her, which stirred up a deep sense of homesickness. From that point on, everything I encountered seemed to trigger memories of my California roots. It probably doesn't help that I frequently wander around Louisiana wearing my Dodgers baseball cap.

Rediscovering the Heart of Los Angeles: A Call to Reimagine a City Worth Saving

Image
Written by Ken Hulsey Yesterday, while driving home from work, Randy Newman's 1983 hit "I Love L.A." came up on my Spotify playlist. As I listened to the lyrics, I was hit by an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. It's amazing how music can transport us back to the time when we first heard a song. These moments become part of our collective memory and carry a sentimental significance that evokes cherished feelings and memories.

When God's Grace Reaches Them | The Surprising Ending of Jonah | Ascend with Pastor Steve

Image
What happens when God shows mercy to someone you don't think deserves it?  Jonah chapter 4 presents one of the most challenging endings in Scripture. After Nineveh repents and receives God's mercy, Jonah becomes angry—not because God failed, but because God forgave. This message highlights the dangers of resentment, the struggle to extend grace to those who have hurt us, and how God desires to transform our hearts just as much as He transforms others.

From Gold Nuggets to Family Ties: The Endearing Charm of The Apple Dumpling Gang

Image
 Written by Ken Hulsey A couple of weeks back, I decided to start posting the trailers from some of my favorite movies. Being a child of the 70s, I naturally opted to start my new series in that decade. The first film that I went with was the 1976 action/comedy Silver Streak. Today I decided to feature The Apple Dumpling Gang from 1975, which holds the distinction of being the first film that I ever saw in a movie theater.

Uncovering Calico Ghost Town: A Journey to California’s Silver Mining Past | Ken Hulsey Photographer

Image
 If you have ever traveled from Los Angeles to Las Vegas via the I-15 freeway, you have probably noticed the name "Calico" formed out of white rocks atop a mountain just outside of Barstow. If you were curious enough to detour off the highway for an hour or so to discover what those rocks were all about, you would uncover an otherworldly site that was once a silver mining town. The structures here range from traditional Western dwellings to others built directly into the rocky hills, which would look just as much at home on Mars as they do in the California desert.
