Trejo's Donuts

After Miss Jackie and I went to get a donut. First we went to SK Donuts and guess what? They closed! They closed day before Christmas and have been closed since. Thanks, Erf. She asked about another spot nearby and there are some things that are okay. I suggested Trejo's Donuts over on Highland which I have never been to. I just hoped that they would have at least one good flavor out of the five that we got. Turns out out of the five that four were good! Great odds, y'all. And Miss Jackie got stickers.

We started with one of the nastiest things I have ever put in my mouth while not behind bars. The Nacho donut. Do not ever get this and they should be ashamed to make this. It had jalapeno, chives, cheddar cheese, and hot sauce on a donut that was the consistency of cornbread. Not never. The Hail Mary was good. It had Cajeta (caramel from goats milk) and salt. Another good choice. Three Amigos was tres leches bath and tres leches glaze. This was messy and nice but not too messy. The Lemon “Papi” was good and had the right amount of lemon flavor and not tart. It had lemon poppy seed cake, cream cheese frosting, and lemon zest. Lastly we got a Pineapple Fritter which I'd never had before. Another good one. I'd definitely try this place again and get more flavors.

Return To Grub And Crack Bacon

This morning I met up with Miss Jackie and we headed over to Grub. I had not been there in a minute and was very much looking forward to consuming bacon. Not just regular ass bacon but Crack Bacon. We managed to find parking on a side street and headed inside. I was pleased to see that it was not as packed as it usually is because we got there within the first hour of it opening. We snacked on cereal and Jackie got the BDB (baby Dutch baby) which is described as “a mix between a pancake & a soufflé topped with housemade lemon curd & powdered sugar.” That shit was good. She also got a side of egg whites that looked all fancy.

I got the Carnivore BFP (big flippin' pancake) which is “a pancake with chopped 'Crack' Bacon baked in and topped with cheddar cheese and drizzled with syrup.” The last time I got this I left it but not this time, damn it! I got cranberry juice to drink an we each got the Crack Bacon. She loved it and so did I. Seriously. It is probably the best bacon you will ever eat. She is stronger than me so she was able to take a piece home. We also talked to one of the owners who showed us some hot sauce with an actor on the side neither of us recognize at first but ended up knowing him from different things eventually. And of course she loved the hot sauce with Prince on it. I really lie this place and like it even more when it is not busy and need to start going more often.

Otus And Red Lobster

Earlier this week Cam and I went to Otus which is that Thai spot over on La Brea and Fountain aka the second most dangerous intersection after La Brea and Santa Monica. We wanted some kind of breakfast and discovered that they had some here. Cam got this rice and chicken soup that smelled good and I got the chicken with Belgium waffles. The chicken was really good. Like, it was made perfectly. The waffles were soft which I liked because I am not a fan of crispy waffles. Cam also got this fancy looking ass coffee that dripped into the cup and cream that was on the table. For sure I will be getting this dish again. Oh, and dipping a drumstick into syrup? Ooh...

The other day we went to Red Lobster. I had not been to this place in any form in years. We were near LAX and Cam suggested we go there and there is no way in hell I'm gonna turn down the chance for biscuits. She got a salad, tilapia fish, and shrimp. I tried the fish and it was good. I got the shrimp linguini and fried popcorn shrimp and a mango lemonade that was bomb. Of course we got the biscuits which were good as always. I had so much pasta that I had enough to eat another meal the next day. Still mad that we didn't get a second serving of them buttery ass biscuits...

March Fat Tour 2018

JP and I had an official Fat Tour last week. Click here if you want to listen to our live reactions to soda tasting. It was very fun. The first place we headed to was Good Girl Dinette. Parking was free because it was Sunday but that also meant there was a shit ton of cars everywhere. JP had a taste of this place before from a non-Dante food tour but she did not have the awesome chicken sandwich that I ordered along with bionic garlic fries. I also got a tangelo orange soda even though we were heading to an actual soda place because I'm a fat ass sometimes. JP got this big ass glass noodle salad with huge pieces of really good steak. Super full but this was just the first stop.

Next up was Galgo's. This is the spot that started this whole thing. JP found out about Galgo's which had a ton of sodas. Neither of us are huge soda drinkers but whatever. We wanted to get some weir, new sodas so we did. The only rule was to not get anything that we had before. We ended up with thirteen different flavors. Here is what JP had to say about a couple of the ones she took home.

Philippe's French Dipped Sammiches

A few weeks ago Jennie and I headed to Philippe's near downtown to get some French dip sammiches. I had not been to this place in about fifteen years because I am rarely near that area around Chinatown. When we walked in I noticed that there was still sawdust on the floor. The line was not crazy long like I remembered all that time ago. We got our food pretty fast and headed upstairs to get our eat on. It was pretty empty up there so you know I liked it. The food was really good and not all soppy and weird. I also got a lemonade and Jennie and I split a brownie. It was the perfect amount of food for lunch and we didn't have to waddle out. Afterward we walked around Chinatown and she kept me from buying plants, nunchucks, ceremonial dresses, and turtles. I'd definitely go here again just to fill my stomach up more.

My Birthday Food Tour

Last weekend I celebrated my birthday weekend with the coming together of people I love and food. It started on Saturday hanging with JP and heading to Plan Check. We parked in the pay lot because fuck looking for parking on Fairfax during the middle of the day on a Saturday. We shared the food because we family. She got the chicken and waffles which were as good as always and I got the Chef's burger without the yolky ass egg. We split the pastrami gravy fries which were really good but had a sprinkle of pastrami at the bottom. JP also made me a cake which I finished today. She got a slice but the rest was all mine! Deal with it.

On Sunday Cam and I headed to Inti which is the amazing Peruvian spot on Melrose. We shared the Ceviche De Camarones that has shrimp in lemon juice with onions. There are also potatoes (sweet and regular) as well as roasted and boiled kernels. The boiled ones are new. This stuff is so damn good. Cam got the Pescado Saltado fish strips with french fries, sauteed onions, and tomatoes and I had the pasta with chicken, onions, and tomatoes. It was so good. Then on Monday I went with SR to Inti once again and we got the civiche. She loved it and had never been here before. She also got the Arroz Chaufa De Camarones which was really good shrimp fried rice with scrambled eggs and green onions. It tasted like how shrimp fried rice tasted in the 80's. I got the Lomo Saltado that is strips of beef sauteed with onions, tomatoes, french fries on steamed white rice and strips of beef sauteed with onions. Each meal I had was enough for three meals. I had so much fun and had so much good food with cool ass people making it one of my favorite birthdays.

Late Food Posts

I have been slacking like crazy on this blog. I have been eating at different places and just not posting images of it here. I'm terrible. Late last year I went to On The Thirty in Sherman Oaks and Jennie and I got this brunch meal that included mimosas that were might powerful and fried chicken sandwiches with delicious fries. Out of all the chicken sandwiches I've had this is the second best after the ones that are no longer made at Tom Bergin's. Yeah, they no longer make them there. This one was made perfectly and did not fall apart when picked up. Another place I went to for the first time was this place called Delicious Pizza over on Sunset. Cam and I went there in December after a movie and the food was super good. We split the pizza in half with her side being arugula and mine being pepperoni and mushroom. The price was a bit high but it was very good. Nice vibe inside, but I just wish that they would play the songs the whole way through and not bounce around like an iPod on shuffle. In February Mala and I went to Bossa Nova and I got the fish and chips. They were good but I learned that it does not taste as good the next day. This place is really fun to be in. The staff seems like they enjoy working there.
