Thai whole dried chile - 2 x 2.5 oz


Add authentic, hot spicy flavor to all kinds of stir fry and fried rice dishes. These are the best quality we've ever seen available, and 2.5 oz pack is a nice large size that will last. We'll send you two packs for the low price of $4.09. Product of Thailand.
Customer Review: Excellent and very hot!
Great dried, red peppers! We ground these up and use the powder to spice up our thai food! Very hot!


Yes, it's a good place to take your kids because you can give them a load of quarters and send them off to the totally impressive game room. I counted more than a dozen video games, air hockey and other arcade-type games. Trust me, this room isn't just for kids. I wasted four bucks in quarters during my stop in the Game Room (those quarters were for my laundry, too).

Definitely, a step up from the corner Me-N-Ed's Pizzeria I grew up with (anyone remember the old style Me-N-Ed's with the barrels on the wall with funny sayings like "Good food takes time...yours will be ready in seconds!"?!) And this one comes with a full service bar and plenty of TV's perfect for watching the Niners or the Raiders (depending on who you like).

The menu offers a lot more than just pizza, including wings, hearty pasta dishes and full-meal sized salads. Your food and drinks come served via nice plates and real glasses. I kinda missed the paper plates and brown plastic cups, though!

And for those nights when you don't want to trek all the way to North Fresno to fight traffic at River Park, Victory Grill is a smart choice to meet up with friends for drinks or even a night out with the family.

Me-N-Ed's Victory Grill - A Real Winner or Pizza Pretender?

So, Victory Grill .. expect to see me again ... soon! Large Peperoni, Sausage and Mushroom, please. And don't forget my side order of jalapeos. Later!

Anyway, my opinion quickly changed as I walked through Victory Grill's double doors ... talk about contrast. The place looked great with its Italian-mural painted walls, painted columns, and it's fully loaded gourmet kitchen.

So, when I had the chance to chow down at the somewhat new Me-N-Ed's Victory Grill, my expectations were definitely high. So, did Victory Grill beat my expectations? You'll have to continue reading to find out.

Oh well, I guess everything changes ... and in this case, it changes for the better. But heck, as long as the pizza didn't really change, I have no reason to complain.

Getting there was easy. Since I live in Clovis near Bullard, I took the 168 to Ashlan, took a right, then a left on Cedar ... and half a mile down... there it was. From door to door ... five minutes. Not bad.

Located in Fresno's Granite Park Sports Complex near Ashlan and Cedar, Victory Grill is supposed to be central Fresno's version of World Sports Caf or something close to that.

As a product of the Central Valley, there's no surprise that I've eaten more Me-N-Ed's slices than I can count. In fact, it's one of the few things I missed about Fresno while I was living in the Bay Area.
