Posted 5/6/18: According to a Wikipedia article, döner kebab is a Turkish kebab made of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The outer layer is sliced vertically into thin shavings as it cooks. "Originally invented in the 19th century Ottoman Empire, it inspired similar dishes such as the Arab shawarma, Greek gyros, and Mexican al pastor."

Prime Cutts - The Original Döner Shop - is coming soon to the first floor indoor food court, near the kids' play area, at The Oaks Mall. 

At primecutts.com I see things like build your own rice bowls, salad bowls and wraps, as well as tacos, burger, plates and more.

Posted 4/16/18: The Raspado House is "coming soon" to 540 N. Moorpark Road, the former home of The Healthy Place smoothies.

What is The Raspado House? There's no website so I went to their Facebook page, which says absolutely nothing other than "smoothie & juice bar in Moorpark." Um, ok. So how about a look at Yelp.

Yelp did help. The business indicates they serve shave ice, real fresh fruit smoothies, fresh fruit bowls, aguas frescas, snacks and more. 

Sounds pretty good. But The Raspado House folks, listen up. If you want people to visit you, it's a good idea to explain what you serve. And the beauty of it in this day and age is that you can do it for free via social media if you so choose.
