Food crawling

Inspired by @moonboy403 that did a lunch crawl recently. I did my own mini crawl this afternoon with the chow pup. Downtownish edition.

Langers - still makes me a little sad that they don’t cook and smoke it in house. But it was great.
Kid said “ dad this is really really bad bread” lol

Grand central - wanted to get a peach donut but I guess they stop it right at the end of august. Settled for a fat and flour key lime. Not as a good as I remember and also tiny. Fooflation!

Sonoratown caramelo was delicious. Smoky meat with all the right textures. Salsas both bright and punchy, beans, cheese, cabbage and guac to all bring it together. Tortilla was good but maybe not epic level like tacos carreta. This was her favorite stop


Bianco is always a solid stop. The bottom of my pizza was a little more burnt than usual. Not sure if there was a hot spot or the deck was too hot, kinda killed the balance of a plain marg. Sorbettos were great got the strawberries on the side so we could also mix them with the chocolate. Chow pup loved the chocolate with strawberries. Sad they don’t have the peach burrata.

Wanted to do another stop but it was getting late and I got pretty full since I did most of the eating lol.

I passed by Kato at around 7ish and saw that it wasn’t busy at all which made me sad. Hopefully their business is good.

First stop hot tongue. Sausage pizza well cooked and tasty ingredients but it just didn’t sing in any specific manner. Better than prime but that’s about it.

Gluttonous delicious feast at holy basil for lunch. Shout out to @PorkyBelly for organizing. Thanks for bringing the drinks and egg us @Clayfu and nice meeting you @hppzz!

I’ll let @PorkyBelly post the pro photos but had a fun little day of food today.

Then classic in n out with the chowpup

Did a little east Los Angeles taco crawl

First stop tacos Baja classic fish tacos

Second stop tacos Al vapor at tacos el toro. Supremely tender cuts of beef head and tongue. I got labio, lengua en trozo, cachete.

Third stop Los originales tacos arabes. Taco Arabe which is supposed to be the forefather to Al pastor tacos. One of the most unique and delicious tacos in the city.

Fourth stop tacos don cuco. They source high quality custom made chorizo and LA times voted it the best adobada in the city. As good as tire shop and I like their chorizo more than tire shop.
