So nice to see you posting again. Haven’t had much (any?) om-rice since Blue Marlin closed down…
Been wondering about Mesa Brazilian. They don’t have a website. I didn’t know they had stews (love fish stews), rice bowls and such. My work partner goes with his kids. But he’s not very descriptive about food . How’d you like it? Nice Portuguese btw.
You meant to type ‘Portuguese’, right?
Good report. Nice pictures. I’ve had those chewy gooey cheese balls at Abigaile . I didn’t know or forgot both places were from Chef Vuong, now Suburbia. He’s a pretty good restaurateur. Thanks!
Oh yes. I’ll edit. 4 hours of sleep, no caffeine. How American of me. But how was it ?
Maravilhoso!!!
Nice Spanish.
Is this around $500? From what I’ve seen, pieces are about $12-$15, so 30 x $13.5 (average of $12 and $15) = $405 + tax ($35.44) + tip ($81) = $521.44.
Curious how close that is.
Get some sleep. Drink some coffee first.
Nope… no rest for the wicked.
Saint Dad’s Breakfast
Viola! Eggs and Hash with Niman Ranch Bacon (because their pigs only have one bad day )
I hacked your garlic bacon @Bookwich. Hack meaning I used garlic powder instead of fresh. But it was still delicious.
…And because we like him
Don’t laugh. His cholesterol has gone down.
Happy weekend eating everyone!
I stop by Sawtelle Tempura House whenever I miss my grandparents’ humble home cooking. The Anzais are one of the last old-school Sawtelle businesses left, and they couldn’t be any kinder. Mihoko put together a pescatarian-friendly bento for me with grilled saba (mackerel), tamagoyaki, sunomono (cucumber pickles), stir-fried veggies, kamaboko, and brown rice. The grilled saba had a lot of bones, but the flavor was earthy and incredibly rich. It was a tad bit on the salty side, but paired nicely with the brown rice, which was fluffy and flavorful. Did I mention my lunch was only $5? And I have leftovers.
Here’s my zhuzhed-up bento, supplemented with some vegetable sushi from Nijiya.
They had posters in their window for Handmaiden and Gimme Danger. It delighted me to no end to see Iggy Pop and the Stooges displayed there. It gives new meaning to Raw Power.
Dang - a woman who knows how to appease a guy’s appetite.
Awesome!!!
Hehe… should I show him your post, in case he doesn’t appreciate? Nah!
Five bucks? You forgot to drop the mike!
Ouch…
All farm pigs have that bad day. Factory farm pigs have all bad days and the last day is probably their best day - when they go to heaven? I think that’s the message.
Ouch x 2.
Lunch at Taqueria Los Anaya
4651 West Adams Blvd, L.A, CA 90016
Chicken Soup - Seasoned Chicken Breast, Rice, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Celery, Carrots, Tomatoes, Herbs
The delicious broth was tangy (lime) and garlicky. The chicken breast was tender and not bland. This is comforting and - if you ignore the sodium - it’s a healthy boost after all the soul food eating this week.
Home-made Tortillas
Huevos Rancheros
Elevated by their delicious homemade tortillas.
Fresh Made Churros and Warm Caramel
Next time I might order the Hot Chocolate too.
We also had 2 Guacamoles, Chilaquiles, 1 Chicken Mole Taco, Coffee, Horchata, Ice Tea $51.+ tip. Service was really friendly, but a little slow & forgetful.
Nice rainy day lunch.
We were thinking about going to this. But the rain and the big breakfast are making us lazy. This is short notice. But it goes on until 5pm if anyone’s in the 'hood.
