Usually
persons who are “on a diet” feel as if they have to eat at home all of
the time because they can’t get the food they want at restaurants. This
can lead to a feeling of being isolated or deprived.
Not
so for the participants of the Village on a Diet.
Go to
any of the restaurants profiled here and they will have a variation of the
All-You-Can-Eat Soup seasoned and with appropriate additions as provided
by the recipes from Good Housekeeping. You can order the soup‚ and your
companions or family whatever suits their fancy.
When
you go to one of these restaurants, be sure to thank them for their
community spirit. They are truly an important part of the Village on a
Diet. We are grateful they saw that committing to this project would be of
great value and convenience to the community, their customers who might
want to participate in the Village on a Diet‚ and even potential new
customers.
Show
your gratitude by eating out at their establishments.

Stepping
into the Soda Fountain Cafe
(located in the Arts and Cultural Center) is like stepping back into
time‚ a most pleasant experience. Fallbrook
is so
fortunate that owner-chef Ineke Michels came along when she did to not
only preserve this unique environment but also to transform it into a
wonderful place to eat. While she retained the soda fountain‚ and the
accompanying
sweet treats one would expect, there are tablecloths on the tables and
delicious foods, too, including homemade soups, salads,
sandwiches
and signature desserts. An eager and enthusiastic caterer, Ineke knows
people and saw immediately that having the All-You-Can-Eat Soup available
at The Soda Fountain Cafe©
would be a wonderful service to the
community.
Although Ineke will be making the soup according to the recipe, you can be
sure she will add her special touch in seasonings and add-ins so
your
dining pleasure is assured. Soda Fountain Cafe©
is open Monday through Friday from
