That reminds me- I forgot the mushrooms.
My wife and I went through 2 pies in 2 days.
Damn that looks good!
Two pies is a pro move!
Thought Iâd drop this here, also, as itâs pretty big news, if true.

Is this from Pizza Wagon? Looks damn good.
Prime Pizza. The superior valley option.
Okay, Iâm impossibly behind on viewing what everyone has eaten, but hereâs my contribution.
Lazy, so Iâm linking to my brief reports elsewhere:
And then part of tonightâs dinner. Clark St. demi baguette, Bristol Farm (Gioia) burrata, and a little drizzle of EVOO. And some random greens. For me, this is heaven:
Iâm doing the same thing⌠linking to my report.

Nearly risked my life driving to Spoon by H in the torrential rain on Saturday to pick up the family combo meal. I preordered it from Tock a week before. For $150, you get enough food to feed 10. We had leftovers on leftovers and I ended up giving away an intact order of spicy beef ribs to my neighbor because I couldnât handle all the food. This is whatâs on the menu.
Salad with sesame oil dressing
Kimchi fried rice
Tteok galbi fried rice
Spicy Beef Ribs
LA Galbi
Galbijjim (braised beef short ribs) & Braised Oxtail
Beef short rib miso ramen
Beef short rib rice cake soup
Everything was good to great except we never even touched the spicy beef ribs so Iâll just have to assume it was good. Favorite was the short rib rice cake soup. Miso ramen was a close second the next day. Kimchi fried rice third. Finally finished it yesterday. The weather was a factor in the rankings of course.
We definitely got more than whatâs listed.
Wow that is great QPR.
The Siu Yeh pop-up at Needle on January 26th gave me some of the best bites in this nascent 2021 thus far. Authenticity-wise, I think Chef Ryanâs sensibilities were dead on in terms of selection and flavor. Every bite was a winner.
Grilled Cheung Fun Skewer⌠Best cheung fun Iâve had so far in Southern California. The smokiness, sauce, sesame, bite⌠All spectacular.
Roasted Young Chicken Wings⌠This dish is ubiquitous throughout the Chinese-speaking world, but if itâs prepared improperly, itâs easy to spot. Well, fear not, âcuz Needle nails it here. Frickinâ finger-lickinâ great!
Ground pork Skewer⌠Pardon the crappy photo, but THIS was just so fragrant and mouthwateringly heavenly to eat. I should have ordered 2 more of these.
Congee with ham, mushroom, runny egg, scallion, peanut, wonton skin crisp, and yeotiao (supplemental)⌠This anchored everything. Solid, solid juk-ology. Even the pickles were bomb.
Grilled Duck Breast, Beef Filet, King Oyster Mushroom Skewers⌠Beef filet proved to the star in this trio - just right, and reminded me of the incredibly tender solomillo one would encounter during pintxo crawls in Basque country. The duck pieces were cut a tad large for its fattiness. The mushrooms did not disappoint.
Almond Tofu with Local Winter Citrus and Goji Berries⌠IMHO this was the best iteration of Chef Ryanâs almond dessert thus far!
This pop-up offered me food which transported me to another time, another place. I hope some of my fellow FTCers had the same experience as well.
Great report! Everything looks so flavorful.
Are there any plans for another Siu Yeh pop-up night in the near future?
Thank you! Iâm not sure if theyâll do it again; hopefully they will. I haphazardly found out about this Siu Yeh pop-up on Needleâs Instagram. I think future announcement will be similarly handled.
theyâve been doing it every tuesday for a few months now, I donât think they have any plans to stop. youâll need to order online.
I believe itâs every other Tuesday.
Had lunch at Cicekâs Chicken in Chatsworth. Always wanted to try this place (and House of Bread in the same center). It was featured on KTLA a few years back.
Pretty tasty rotisserie chicken. Reminds me of Zankou.
Falafel plate with pretty large falafels. These were super light, I do prefer them denser, but really nice flavor with just the right amount of spice.
All this grub for $18 out the door.
They have a huge menu of shawarma and kabob. They even had branzino.
Cicekâs is awesome. I miss that place.
We really liked it!
Is there something in particular that you recommend?
