Yardbird And Trejos Donuts


Last week JP and I went to two spots where one was new to each of us. I had recently found out that Yardbird opened up nearby at The Beverly Center so we went there. I planned on getting the meal JP ended up getting until I saw a hamburger that sounded good and got that instead. She got the Lewellyn's Fine Fried Chicken that included a petite cheddar waffle and some spiced watermelon. Yeah. We know. This was really good and had half of a fried chicken. This was the lunch menu so I was able to get The Great American Burger with a side of really good fries. It consisted of short rib, brisket and chuck blend, house-smoked pork belly, American cheese, house pickles, and special sauce. So good. For dessert which is rare for us to get after eating we had the Peanut Butter Pie Bar which had bacon butterscotch ganache, roasted white chocolate crumbles. I'll definitely head back here. Prices are a bit more than we usually pay at places we eat but since we're adults with jobs and don't do this often...fuck it.


Afterward we headed to Trejo's for some donuts. JP had never been just as I'd not been to Yardbird. They rotate flavors in and out so I got some different ones than when I went with Miss Jackie a while back. The cinnamon crumb was good but needed to be buttery. The margarita one was good and tangy but JP was not a fan. We both loved the hell out of the bacon one and it had some top tier bacon on it. We both agreed we would go back just for that one alone. The dulce de leche was...whatever. Not terrible but not close to the best.
