Tak and I have been putting in a lot of hard days at our perspective jobs, so we figured a quick weekend get-away to one of our favorite cities was in order. On Friday night, we took the 8:30 pm flight out to San Francisco on Virgin America airlines. We arrived at our diggs for Friday night, the Bay Bridge Inn. This hotel is definitely not the Four Seasons, but the location was walking-distance

Well...on a whim, we decided to check out Wee Man's Chronic Taco's down in Redondo Beach. If you don't know who Wee Man is...just take a look into the early 2000's..MTV's Jackass (as well as plenty of other underground skate videos, concerts, sideshows...ask the googles if you don't know who Wee Man is), one of my favorite unlockable skaters on Tony Hawk Skater games.I'll post up some pics of

Finding ourselves on Manchester and Sepulveda on a Saturday morning, Tak and I were hungry and yearning for a "decent" breakfast or brunch establishment. Consulting our frequently-utilized Yelp iPhone applications, Tak located a highly-rated place by the name of "Truxton's American Bistro". Turns out, Truxton's was literally walking distance from the Pep Boys shop we had just visited. We easily

Mari and I decided to let Yelp do the talking for us and we found a great little sub shop in Manhattan Beach called "Sandos". While parking is limited to street, we made it there, and discovered a very hard working shop. Upon entry you see it's room for about 6 people standing shoulder to shoulder, or 2-3 customers comfortable. They definitely focus on the delivery crowd..lol But onto the food.

This year for Winter Music Conference, Mari and I (along with my lovely sister Marcia) headed down to sunny Miami Beach, FL. Was of course a lovely time, with lots and lots of great food! One stop which we felt to share with you was Jerry's Deli right in the heart of the strip on Collins.  This place is called "world famous Jerry's Deli" for a reason, a MASSIVE menu followed up by lots and lots

If you live in LA, and not under a rock...you have heard of the "Nuevo Food Truck" Movement. At the forefront of this mobile-culinary takeover, is Kogi BBQ. The only food truck I've ever waited nearly an hour for food. I first heard about Kogi by word of mouth ("have you heard about the Kogi Truck?"), followed up with this video...Needless to say I was intrigued....what is this Kogi stuff all

One evening at about quarter to 1am We're out on the town, and decided it's time to eat.  Being on the west side, one word came to my mind..CANTERS!. Any Los Angeles local knows about this hidden gem open 24 hours. Aside from being a former hangout of Guns and Roses, this place is the ULTIMATE deli. Gigantic servings, beautiful classic design/decor and most importantly..excellent food.

Well, we're back again w/ another report from the @Marked 5 truck that will stop in our hood every once in a while.Well, if you remember our last review, the feedback was....mixed. The shortage of food, not really their fault, and the product was yummy. The wait for food from a truck...did leave something to be desired. but I digress..I promised I'd try it again to be fair..and we did...twice!

Hey all,Revisiting some old pictures brought up a visit to the famous "Pinks Hot Dogs" Located on La Brea and Melrose in Hollywood, CAPinks has been around forever and is kind of a staple tourist(and local) thing to do when you're in LA. While it's definately not the most healthy option..damn they they make a mean hot dog. I stopped in with my sister and her friend from Tennessee.We were greeted

The Sandwich is flexible and easy. Maybe that's why I love it so much. Call it a Grinder, Blimpie, Poor Boy, Torpedo or Hoagie--it's still a sandwich! Turns out, the birth of the "submarine" sandwich is disputed and not easily traceable. One theory suggests that the sandwich is an American invention born in the early 1900's by workers (many Italian) that bought bread from street vendors, then

Hey All,Instead of going out to find a new place to blog about, on a rare occasion, this time the food came to me...in a way. We recieved an e-mail at work that the "marked 5" truck (Japanese Burgers/Cuisine) would be coming around near the El Segundo Buisness park...which obviously was big news as an alternative to the standard Tacone, Trimana, Coffee Bean and the dreaded Carls Jr, down the way.

Wednesday afternoon we hit up The Counter in El Segundo and munched on a slider special: 4 sliders and 4 mini beers, each with their own sauce on Hawaiian bread for $12.00.This was a special promotion showing a few different Burger/Beer combonations, which I felt was pretty neat-o.

This time around, I decided to not be cheap and go all out for some good nachos. They were awesome. I cooked the meat first with some taco seasoning. Then baked the chips with all the cheeses on it, then put the meat, lettuce, everything on top of the chips. Put on another layer of cheese, pop it back in the oven for 5 minutes at 450 degrees. Garnish with lettuce, sour cream and salsa. The whole

This evening we decided to make a huge batch of curry. I'm a huge fan of Thai food ever since living with my step-mother, who would only make food spicy enough to make us squirm while she was loving it..(she used to enter chile eating contests)...so I got really into Thai food. Recently, I got a great Thai cookbook, I'll post a pic of it at some point. however, all the recipes require Tamarind

Last weekend we flew to San Francisco on a mini semi/vacation. We had two whole days packed with activities and we definitely took advantage of our time. We sped around town using the BART and the trolleys, we got to see many of our favorite tourist spots (Fisherman's Wharf, The Golden Gate Bridge), as well as discover some hidden gems. While at my favorite California city, Tak met up with old

So tonight we decided on a quick and easy dinner. We picked up a couple of DiGiorno pizzas after a trip to the drugstore...and called it a night. Oven pizzas are definitely easy and tasty. I decided on the cheese and Tak got the meat and garlic version.My cheese pizza was good and a bit on the "sweet" side, but tasty.

Labor Day weekend 2008 is wrapping up to a close. It's hard to believe how fast the weekend has come and gone, and good thing we were able to indulge in some really good eating. Speaking of indulgences, Tak suggested we make ourselves a huge breakfast on Monday morning consisting of eggs, cheese, potatoes, sausage, waffles and bacon. He did not have to do much twisting of my arm to get me to

On a trip to downtown Los Angeles the third weekend of August, I proposed we stop for breakfast/lunch at the newly opened Panini Cafe on the corner of 9th and Hope. I had visited the Cafe for lunch with a few co-workers the week before, and found the outside patio to provide a nice ambiance during the meal, and the food was not bad, either.Tak ordered the Ham & Cheese omelette...he thought it was
