I have eaten so much food over the last
couple of weeks. I was gonna do each of these as an individual blog
but then I'd have to do like eight of them and between all the other
random nonsense I fill my day with that was something I did not wanna
do. The first place on the menu was Mel's over on Hollywood with Cam. We headed
here during the AFI Fest. She got the turkey burger with fries while
I got the Mel's Burger with cheese. She also got a shake that was
good. I like this place because they are consistent with it. Except
for that fried chicken sandwich that one time. That should never be
on their menu. Oh. Her shake was vanilla and chocolate but tasted
mostly like chocolate. They also thought we didn't pay and a waiter
chased me to the corner. Made me regret leaving a tip.
The following weekend I went to Fritzi
Coop with Miss J. I have been here a couple of times and really like
it. The only thing that really keeps me from going more often or even
thinking about it is the fact that it is at The Grove/Farmer's
Market. I don't drive and I still think the parking sucks. I got a
crispy chicken sandwich that was spicy. The pickles on it were
spicier than the chicken and it made me sweat a bit but it was not
terrible at all. I also got a side of tater tots while Miss J got
this buffalo chicken nugget deal that was good.
The following week at AFI with Koko we
went to some really good places there to watch that terrible movie
Widows. I got PokiNometry which tasted so damned good. I got a butt
load of shrimp and rice. She got ramen at a nearby location that had
the slowest moving line ever called JINYA. I tore into my food
because I was very hungry and the food was that good. The amount of
time at the spot I went to depends on how fast the people in line are
moving. One of my worst nightmares is someone reading multiple orders
off of their phones and instead of looking at the menu while waiting
they are texting folks. I will for sure go to this place again.
For Thanksgiving I didn't want any
drama so I stayed away from my family and headed to a gathering at
Cam's friends place. Everyone brought a dish and it gave me an excuse
to make my ham. I cook it for four hours and covered it with Coke and
brown sugar. I love making this because my whole house smells bomb as
hell for hours. Everyone that tried it really liked it but that dude
that brought the maple coated bacon won for dish of the evening.
This past Saturday JP came by and we
had an Ultra Fat Tour. Normally we do three places but this time we
headed to four of them. We started at Inti for some awesome ass
Peruvian food. We of course got the ceviche. As always it was good.
We also got the fried pla...you know what. We got what we always get
when we go here because the food is always good and they bring it to
you fast. Go there and be happy as hell.
Afterward we went to Donut Friend and
got six of the caramel donuts because we do not play games. I got a
Rice Krispie Treat style one that was just fine. Nothing magical
about it. JP got this crème brulee deal that tasted so good and was
way lighter and fluffier than we expected. And the hardened sugar
top? Come on now. She got two of the coconut bacon donuts that I have
not tried since that last time they tasted weird and not bacon-y.
Love this place. If it were down the street they would know my name.
We then headed to Galco and got some sodas. We did not go crazy like
we have in the past. After that we went to Carmela's and got ice
cream. I got a salted caramel in shake form while JP got the sweet
potato but did not enjoy like she has in the past.
This past Sunday Cam and I went to Dog
Haus in Burbank. We got a bunch of plants and she recalled one being
in the area so we went and got stuffed. I got a Thai Kick sausage
that tasted way too damned good with a vanilla shake and fries. Cam
got a turkey corndog, root beer float, and tater tots. I think this
was just the second time I've been to one of these places because
they are in odd spots. Oh, and mine was served on a Hawaiian roll.
Yeah.
