Hadn’t thought about visiting Pizzana until I read about the Padrino/Godfather sandwich in LA Times. I saw on Pizzana’s IG it’s a special this week.

Have always loved a good Italian sub from growing up in San Francisco, so I took a quick drive to Pizzana Brentwood and picked up this bad boy curbside after prepaying online:

$17 before tax and 20% tip so not a cheap eat, but the housemade soppresatta and mortadella on their roll made from pizza dough was so tasty!

Provolone cheese usually comes out like a cross between plastic leather and rubber, but Pizzana cuts it into shards so the creamy after bite hits following the spicy soppresatta and pepperoncini.

All my forbidden foods - cured meats, nightshade plants (peppers), dairy and wheat rolled into one.

Saving the other half for tomorrow. Still have to try their pizzas.

Some such as Chase have cut back hours here in LA County. I read they’re temporarily closing branches by 20% nationwide.

I thought I was early when getting to my local branch at 4:30p when they normally close at 6p and saw a hastily posted sign saying they’re temporarily closing at 4p instead — no forewarning whatsoever.

For comparison, Sushi Yoshizumi’s bara chirashi don at $120 (had mine last night, stellar)

Someone’s bara chirashi don from today:

Breakdown:

  • Premium sushi rice + Iio Jozo sake lees and pure rice vinegar (only Noz uses this same combination in NY right now, along with one other sushi restaurant in Alameda, CA). I dare say his rice might even be better than Noz or SGO.
  • castella tamagoyaki (made with madai)
  • hotaru ika marinated with miso and “perfectly kissed” by binchotan
  • kohada
  • his legendary kanpyo
  • komochi yari ika (simmered pregnant spear squid)
  • Hokkaido uni (mine did not have this), his latest batch of Nemuro uni is stellar.
  • straw smoked and grilled meiji maguro (baby blue fin)
  • kasugodai
  • Japanese bluefin zuke akami (done old school style)
  • marinated / simmered scallop
  • shira ebi (toyama) konbu jime
  • anago (latest from Tsushima)
  • sumi ika
  • either kanpachi, ishidai, and/or mebaru
  • akagai
  • sakura masu
  • freshly grated wasabi (a generous portion as well)
  • chopped ginger/gari (marinated with sushi vinegar)

A good portion of the fish is aged and/or cured/marinated (zuke or kelp) or had some form of Edomae Kung Fu applied to it.

I’m not surprised… I wish it didn’t make me paranoid or believe me, I would be partaking right now.

I’ll admit, I’m intrigued by Vespertine. $49pp + 20% delivery charge. You can also select reasonably priced wine. W/o beverage, it’s $130 for two people delivered.

Picked up Indian from Rita’s yesterday https://ritascafesm.com/

She said take-out had been humming along until yesterday, when it fell off a cliff (I was there basically at the same time the shelter-in-place order was given). As before, it’s definitely better to call than order online.

Awesome! Just grabbed the potato balls and guava pastries.

Anyone know of any other places shipping frozen food or other less-perishable food? I’m trying to support all the local restaurants I can while stocking up.

Yep, last holiday season I did my best to buy food, drink and experiences rather than more stuff for peeps. This year instead of waiting I bought restaurant gift cards early. Two birds with one stone - helps out restaurants and I got my shopping done early. :slightly_smiling_face:

FYI vegans, you can get gift cards from Little Pine, Silverlake sent directly to your and others’ mobile phones.

I noticed that, and I totally did not get that. Although, if dry cleaners can do enough business during the current time to stay in business, then that’s great.

No, but the amount of meat looks enormous.

Her spinach and potato is one of my fav dishes (anywhere). But avoid the tandoori chicken.

Jaipur looked very un-busy when I went on Tues. Food was really tasty, so, folks, order from this place, too!

Vespertine, but at one-tenth the price of actually eating there. Wonder if the takeout version will still look like:

If the appetizers are anything like the komochi yari-ika (pregnant spear squid) and ankimo that @NYCtoLA and I had recently it might just be worth it. They were both incredible and the top highlights of our omakase.

The email I got promoting that came from Destroyer, which is the account it’s under on Caviar. The $49 dinners are at the bottom of the page.
