Since it is football season, I like to pick up food to watch the game and goes well with some brews. What are your favorites? I need ideas, the more the better. Anywhere in the LA and OC area.
So far this season I have had:
cuban sandwiches, potato balls, and pasteles at Porto’s
whole chicken dinner at Pollo Ala Brasa
wings at Kyochon (wings got all oily and mushy)
wings at BBQ Chicken
Langer’s
cajun mac n cheese at Elbows (which was surprisingly tasty)
Italian Sandwiches and pastas from Bay Cities Italian Deli (and you can order ahead 45 minutes on line and it’s ready for pick up)
Jewish Deli and smoked fish from Brent’s in Northridge (and they will deliver anywhere in the LA area)
Langer’s
Ink.Sack sandwiches (ink.sack photo from LA Weekly)
Portillo’s Hot Dogs and Italian Beef Dip Sandwiches in Buena Park
Wexler’s Deli at GCM and soon Santa Monica
Mail order pizza from Lou Malnati’s Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
Din Tai Fung
Bludso’s BBQ
Enjoy!Uploading…
Empanadas from Continental Gourmet Market in Lomita.
Whole spicy lemon garlic chicken from Chicken Maison in Torrance.
Chicken and beef curry pies from JJ Bakery in Torrance. They sell out by 11am ish, though.
Banh mi from Little Shop of Mary Banh Mi in Torrance. $7 a sandwich, but my only other option in this area is Lee’s so I don’t mind paying that.
Pizza from Eatalian Cafe in Gardena.
Tacos from the Tacos El Gallito truck in Harbor City.
Costco pizza…
My original reply to this question some time ago on CH:
We take out from Shamshiri regularly. Really like the lamb shank
Also:
Pollo a la Brasa
Frida - carnitas platter or short ribs * NOTE: Have kind of soured on Frida since then.
Baronies Pizza
El Pollo Loco - not very chow-ish, but must confess
For Westside Chinese - Le Chin Wok (Peking Duck) NOTe: Closed.
Hardy’s Best BBQ - behind Hardy’s Meat Market (weekends only)
Fried Chicken Sand - Honor Bar
Wolfgang’s - chop salad
It morphed with a fucking mongolian BBQ joint on Van Nuys and Moorpark (near In&Out). Tried it a couple of weeks ago. It was empty and the service was very slow on a to go. Not worth the drive to me. That said, choices on Westside near BH are slim. Joss is good but a bit pricy. Tried the place in CC Mall, but dont think I ordered right. Need to give it another shot.
