January 2020 Rundown

Pearl River Deli by @JLee outstanding execution of your new pork chop bun! i love it! still needs work on the char siu in achieving the ultimate juicy, meaty but tender state pork chop, pineapple bun a thick cut of perfectly cooked pork chop sits between soft pineapple buns. flavorwise, the pork chop is very well seasoned with soy flavor that reminds me of maggi sauce while the sauteed onion adds a bit of sweetness and crunch. i think it’ll be even better if there’s an acidic element in the…

Forget About Dinner - The Surprisingly Delicious Japanese Italian American Brunch at Orso & Winston [Thoughts + Pics]

A very good but expensive lunch at $50/person before tip for 4 items. persimmons, burrata, radicchio, pomegranate, hazelnut This refreshing salad is lightly dressed with a sweet and sour vinaigrette. There’s a good mix of salinity and creaminess from burrata contrasting against the crunchy hazelnut, bitter raddicchio, and pops of sweetness from the pomegranate .

January 2020 Rundown

… Continued from December 2019 Rundown… Thanks for the assistance @joy @js76wisco @ebethsdad So, Brent’s Northridge tonight. Naturally I ended up with the pastrami Reuben. LOL, because I’m so adventurous and can never be accused of being a creature of habit. Yeah, butter, rye and meat. How horrible.

January 2020 Rundown

[lillians - 1] [lillians - 2] Lillian’s Bread and Sweets in Northridge The longsilog was pretty decent. Combo with pancit, rice, beef kare kare, and corned beef. It was alright, not great. Maybe it’s because we came at three, but does anyone know what to get here? Saw some people getting dinuguan, but I’m not really into dinuguan. [meeandgreet01] Mee & Greet in Palms Pretty good garlic noodles for a neighborhood place. Don’t recommend the steak though, it was underseasoned and the meat qu…

January 2020 Rundown

Torimatsu (Gardena) Chicken yakitori specialist. Everything chicken, except for maybe the feet and head. They even have chicken sashimi, I am sure I will most likely be fine but I cannot bring myself to eat that like @Starchtrade and @A5KOBE [image] [image] [image] The menu and some togarashi, okay let’s do this!!!

December 2019 Rundown

I’ll be heading down to L.A. this week and will make local contributions to the December and January rundowns while in town, but I wanted to spotlight a Sacramento/Bay Area chef, writer (SF Chronicle, Saveur, among others), and food blogger (Eat Gorda Eat) focused on Puerto Rican cuisine and regional specialties: Illyana Maisonet. Tonight I went to her event Puerto Rican Christmas Dinner. From the dishes served, to their cultural/geographic history, to family influence and life biography, this m…

December 2019 Rundown

Friday - Pasjoli Even better than visit 1. None of like the endive salad (salade d’endives black walnut, grapefruit, comté) - had a very funky flavor. But everything else was amazing particularly a brandade appetizer that was hard to stop dipping in on, the onion tart, turbot [image] carré de porc [image] trout amandine, with smoked roe [image] Saturday - APL Restaurant Not a fan. Went for a birthday party. Only the duck fat fries are great. Majordomo does APL ribs so much bet…

Osteria Mozza - Hancock Park

mozzarella di bufala, anchovies & garlic toast Great dish, but agree with @tailbacku that the ratios are off. There was one huge ball of mozzarella, two tiny pieces of toast and about 8 or 9 fillets. I found myself having to do differential calculus to portion out each component so that I would have enough of each until the end.

Pasjoli - Santa Monica

(new) homard vol-au-vent - lobster, melted leek sauce béarnaise Like a fancy french lobster pot pie, I just wish the portion was larger, it was more like an appetizer than a main.

Pasjoli - Santa Monica

joues de veau - veal cheeks, roasted carrots, sauce blanquette like a tender little meatball of baby cheek [pasjoli_20191013_172607] [pasjoli_20191012_174948] turbot meuniere - turbot, brown butter, lemon, french beans a traditional meuriner, but instead of just chopped parsley, chef dave adds fried parsley on top for a nice crunch. the turbot was cooked perfectly and was quite firm and flaky. i prefer a grenobloise sauce with the salty punch of capers but this was still delicious. @the…
