04/04/07 - Dinner

I've really got to learn to stick with the french toast at Crepevine. Their hamburgers are amazingly dull. The bread they put them on is too hard, and they just aren't cooked right or something. The good thing is that they come with potatoes, but I wish the french toast came with potatoes. Hm, I'm in a pickle. I'll have to stick with the french toast.

One of like eight stops on the way back from LA. What can I really say about In&out? It's in&out. A staple. There were a ton of cheerleaders around us, because I think there was a cheerleading competition in LA during that week. Having them around really made for a nice eating atmosphere. It was like being in a monkey cage.

04/01/07 - Breakfast


In a rather fortunate mix up, the Wilshire Grand overbooked us. Because of this, we got a bigger room (though it was the living room of a penthouse suite), a pass to the lounge (though it was two couches and a tv playing an Antonio Banderas movie), free valet parking, but best of all, free continental breakfast. Not everything was very good, but the basics were good - bacon, sausage, and chocolate milk were winners. Hash browns and orange juice? Not so much, OJ was sour or something, and hash browns didn't really taste like anything. Once I found what I liked, I ran with it. Thanks Wilshire Grand.

After hitting the galleries (Damien Hirst in Beverly Hills, and Mark Ryden in Hollywood - both were very good), we met with Katie but didn't really have a plan to eat anywhere. No one knew the area other than going to Canters, which I was really up for again. So I called Cassie Wu. Being a foodie, I figured she'd know where to eat. She directed us to Santa Monica to a place called Bad Dad's or something. Word of mouth said it was the best burger in town. It ended up being a bar where we couldn't really sit down, so we were stuck on a quiet Santa Monica street with dwindling options. We went to an extremely unremarkable Italian place. Bland bland bland. Highlight was seeing the waiter poor water from two feet up. Nice, dude.

Last Night's Patty hits the road. We're in LA and went to Canter's. A 24hr Jewish Deli on Fairfax. So good. So much better than Saul's in Berkeley. Canter's is like the orthodox jews, while Saul's is just like the Goldstein's that live next door to you. POSERS. Pastrami sandwich was so good. Still loving it. And it's cheaper than Saul's, always a plus. AND it's right next to Supreme. Beat that Saul's. That's right, you can't.

Now what kind of madness is this? Zachary's twice in like two weeks? This is simply obscene. Too much greatness for me to go on.

This is an Thai Eggroll I ate. I ate it up. I think there was pork in it which is always a plus. Add that to the fact that there were minimal vegetables to get in the way, and you have a tasty little treat. This place we went to was in close proximity to Chez Pannise and Gregoise so I figured it would be good, by osmosis or something. It was alright, though my only basis of Thai comparison is from Tuk Tuk, which I cleverly like to refer to as Suk Suk. I'm the best.

My Main plate was a pork dish (again). Not too bad, and I think the dipping sauce or whatever it was was pretty good and complimented the meat very well.
