The very description of most of our meals last week.
Beer in ice AND frog in clay pot for Cathy.

I’ve eaten nothing but broth or gazpacho for about a week. I had a vegan ramen at Tentenyu, and took out all the vegetables and drank all the broth, then left the noodles in the bowl.
The weather makes me so thirsty and salt-cravey.

Well guys, I did it.
Was in Venice yesterday and couldn’t leave without a visit. I even broke my pork rule and had the Porchetta Melt.

Why?
You did it! And you didn’t need a passport, right? No nose bleed or turning into a pumpkin either I bet. More importantly, how was your sandwich?

Hah! Okay, so I loved the place and wished I had more time to get my bearings. It’s a madhouse like you guys describe. Like a louder, more rustic, hipster version our Jones on 3rd - and possibly better food (but can’t say yet) and definitely better street parking.
The sandwich was delicious; although I made the mistake of saving half and the grease pooled underneath, which made me realize what I had just put in my body (salad today).
I will try to be delicate about this part and just say, demographically, things sure have changed in Venice.
I will be in the area a few more times the next few weeks and will definitely go back.
Thanks for the nudge guys!

don’t forget the smoked fish -I love it in sandwich form but you can try more getting a selection. I don’t know whats in the salad case right now but its usually worth checking out. I like the Bahn mi Americano (house made pate -yum). That miso date cookie. If it stays hot like this they usually have a tart shrub to drink that is pretty refreshing

Yah, I saw a few of those things in the case and was going crazy 
. I am a sucker for specialty food shops.
Try the cheeseburger. It has the five major food groups. Bun, meat, beef fat, beef marrow and cheese. Chase that with the other half of your Sammie and it will seem like diet food.

Perfect
The burger is really good and kinda small too, so if you have half you can get another entree!
Nice! Finally went to Gjusta! 
Be sure to try some of the other recs in the Gjusta thread, and report back on the LA Board.

Hi @Chowseeker1999 -
Haha… I was was thinking to link my posts to another dedicated Gjusta thread, most likely yours. So I did a little search and not surprisingly came across a lot of Gjusta 
. The @CiaoBob to melt or not to melt the Porchetta Sandwich thread was particularly wacky - full of “wabi sabis, GPMs & GPBs” and cartoons and… I had to stop reading for now. Like I wrote, it was a madhouse and I had a lot going on that day. I forgot there even was another Porchetta Sandwich. But I will probably weigh in on that thread with my thoughts on the Melt at some point too.
Anyway, to make a long story short (not an easy thing for me), I will definitely be exploring their menu more and post on your great Gjusta thread.
Thanks!

Because she’s different… and that’s how we like her.

Because I’m not hungry?
I forgot to add that I also ate a lot of strawberries and cherries, and baguette. So I’m not starving or anything, don’t worry.

Who eats half a burger?

Small but super rich, I distinctly remember a river of drippings flowing down my arm while eating it. I had to order that prime rib salad @PorkyBelly posted above to lighten the meal up a bit.
