That looks luscious. How was it Porthos? :smile:

62

Gone in 60 seconds good. Really moist and not too sweet.

Salmon poke from Ohana Poke Co. was so good last weekend that I went again on Saturday. The salmon was plentiful and oh so tender. I also got a jasmine iced tea from Boba Time.

I had a fontina and avocado sandwich from Sopressata. The bread had an excellent chew. Matcha pudding from Mitsuwa was a fine desert.

@A5KOBE nice! How do you like their fried chicken compared to others around LA / OC?

I liked it a lot. PFC was unique in flavor and really tender, crispy exterior, and one of the dipping sauces tasted sort of Thai chili-esque. My only small criticism is that the chicken was room temp, but that really was better for to scarf down the chicken faster. The original had what tasted like a BBQ rub, almost like a rib dust that one would put on Memphis dry ribs. The other, was a Memphis dipped which had a nice amount of heat but totally different to the offering from Howlin Rays. It was ā€œdarkā€ tasting, that is best I can describe it. Cornbread was moist with good texture and crispy edges and bording too sweet but a nice change up to the heat of the hot chicken.

Oh yeah, just remembered, they do a 10 piece cut so you donā€™t get wings in the 8 piece. Another small criticism but the taste delivered so what the hell.

Think of a popular DTSA restaurant.

I need to venture out to the OC more. I didnā€™t even know that PFC existed. Thanks for posting about it, @A5KOBE!

Burgerlordā€™s deep fries their burgers? Or is that just a weird mess of fried onions + cheese creating that illusion?

72

Sure I take PMT in MBMC ribs.

Those are the grilled onions. It does look odd though.

Friday: Takuma. I love the soboro rice (tastes like home cooking to me). Soba + chicken w/ sesame sauce was also nice. Theyā€™re now pounding out the 1-lb chicken a little bit, and itā€™s got a nice spicy kick to it.

Sunday: Truxtonā€™s. First time there. Had the chilaquiles. Never had the Pepyā€™s Gallery version, so I canā€™t compare. This was good, although I couldā€™ve used more cheese. Nice to find a fairly reasonably priced brunch place in Santa Monica that still has a (relatively) nice interior ambiance.
