Not sure how close they’ll be, but I reheat in a dry or very lightly oiled saute pan over medium low heat.
Once the bottom starts to crisp, I’ll throw some drops of water onto the pan and put a lid on so it steams a bit.
Forgive that it’s a Roberta’s thing, but I find it works more quickly than using the oven.
Nope I’ll save that when I can dine in at Frank Pepe’s
Rosalind’s Ethiopian.
After you eat all the injera… I definitely would be less full scooping with a fork. Quite tasty.

Hot crab sandwich…I’ve been wanting to try this for a while. It’s basically a decadent tuna melt. Very crabby…I wish the pickles were inside the sandwich. Biscuit sandwich is still tops for me.
El Ruso -
Probably one of the easiest bangs…now that it’s across the street. The asada and chile colorado are both great. I loved the char and smokiness of the asada. And it is a substantial taco. 2 is more than enough food for one.
A stop may have also been made at Chaumont. I introduced a friend to it and she is now hooked.
Indeed. Even two, mayhaps…
What time did you go to El Ruso? How’s the line situation?
I was there at about 11:15 on a Thursday. There was no line, and only one family who had already ordered before me.
I imagine weekends could be challenging since there’s not much parking in the immediate vicinity.
Stopped in for a drink and snacks at Bari pre-F9.
It’s going to be a hit.
Margarita
Pretty light and tasty. It would be easy to knock a few of these back quickly.
Alici Marinate + Taralli + Peperoni Cruschi
Marinated anchovies (sourced from Spain), fried peppers, and little fennel crackers make a really nice snack.
They’re still in soft opening for this weekend, but the full menu is coming in July. Expect other dishes to include pastas and grilled meats, all in smaller tapas style portions. They’re hoping to turn it into a bit of a nightlife spot too, keeping the bar open until 2am and serving the snacks portion until then.
The space is beautiful, and getting a brief taste what Chef Colby is aiming for gives me high hopes.
Atlantic Seafood in Monterey Park
Sorry, guys, I’m not all that adventurous. Just the basics for me and Mrs. Pimpin.
Dessert next door at Sunmerry Bakery.

The basics are all that matter for me at dim sum. 
What’s in the last pic?
Looks like mochi donuts. Didn’t know Chinese bakeries were on this trend
Winner winner dim sum dinner…er…. Breakfast… err…
Shuck Oyster Bar (Costa Mesa) -
Oysters available today plus Naked Cowboy (NY).
Portland of all places! No where in SGV or Bay Area does this?
Right?! I have to look harder in SGV.
