Three of the four times we were there the expensive soft serve ice cream machine was broken. It became a bit of a running joke.

I dunno how dad got overruled on Fathers Day but we went to Nozomi for lunch instead of Gjusta. Everybody wins. The sushi was great as usual. Our favorites were the scallop, uni and tuna. The regular blue fin tuna was better than the toro. They were understaffed with only 2 waitresses and 2 sushi chefs. They stopped taking walk ins right after we sat down.

You’re having the same problem as me with uploading multiple photos (and emojis). But your Father’s Day sounds great! :blush:

Yo……

How did I not know this? Anyone know if it’s pretty close to the OG Pico location you get in person.

Had bludsos today, it’d been awhile but I heard some reports of it having gone downhill.

We are happy to report everything in our to go meal was good to delicious.

Rib tips were awesome a mix of juicy, fatty, cartilegy, smoky and meaty. The way they cut/source their rib tips there’s quite a bit of meat included which is nice.

Ribs were for the most part were tender with a couple of them being on the dry side. My friends ordered lean brisket which I’m generally not a fan (prefer fatty) but it was moist and juicy with a couple of pieces being slightly drier due to the nature of lean brisket but not overly so.

Mac cheese, corn bread w honey butter, and potato salad were tasty but not standout.

Does anyone know why the og location closed?

Sorry no pics since it was a group lunch at our house.

I never had a problem with the actual meat or preparations. Love the chicken. Sides are meh. It was the salt that killed it for me with Bludso’s.

I think the OG Bludso’s kinda faded away. They were supposed to be temporarily closed for renovations then never opened back up. Some kind of landlord dispute I think. Too bad. Finger licking good rib tips.

I was really craving something vegan, or maybe a wheat grass infused smoothie, so I went to Pinks.

The truth is there was no line and I happened to be in the area and I thought “ I haven’t been there in like 10 years” so I decided to stop in.

A light little nosh built for one.

I was starving (which is also why I over-ordered) so maybe that’s why the onion rings were surprisingly good. They had to be frozen I’m sure there wasn’t some guy in the back hand battering them.

This is what I got…

The price tag with a drink was over $30. Slightly more than it was the last time I was here 10 years ago lol.

Thanks, Drew, for the excellent suggestion.

Drove by the new Salsa and Beer on Vanowen on the way to Home Depot and almost stopped (I was in a hurry). Thought of you! Hope all is well and you have no long Covid!

My whole life feels like long Covid lol.

You’re a true gentleman! Feeling great. The salsa and beer on Vanowen? there are three of them. I’ve eaten at two of them and so good.

The little one with the eight seats and the bar is the best one to do takeout since it’s so quick.

I am very happy that Honey Pig in Buena Park was busy Saturday at 5pm when we arrived and still pretty much packed when we left at 7:30pm. The service is great, the drinks are cold and the meat is plentiful. Save room for the fried rice. We also had an order of pork neck and some extra brisket at the end.

That rice is amazing… But it’s certainly a more than 2 people type of excursion.
