Boss Eatz In Long Beach

This past Saturday I trekked to Long Beach with Miss Jackie to get some food. When she first told me about it I was hesitant because I have not for real gone out to eat since earlier this year. We headed out that way and I am so glad she got me to leave my house. The food was served by Boss Eatz and every single thing I ate was good. Over the years I have learned to appreciate good food more. I know that sounds silly but when I say a hotdog is good I don't mean like in a toss it in boiling water and throw some mustard and I'm fine good like ten years ago. The hotdog I got was fucking good. The first things I got was a Doyers Dog which was an all beef hotdog with bacon wrapping and caramelized onions and peppers. I devoured it. 

Food From 2020 Since The World Shut Down

This year has been ridiculous. It is still ridiculous. But before everything went to shit I did eat. Things started shutting down about a week after my birthday so I was able to grab a few things. I'll try to keep these in some sort of order. This is stuff I had pictures of but didn't post.

I was gifted me a box of treats like all manner of hot ass chips and beef jerky. I finished the jerky within two days or so because I am an animal with no self control. 

Cam took me to Sushi Koo for my birthday and it was good. I am not someone who eats the kinda sushi that people who really love sushi eats. I get fried things and basic shit and cover it in wasabi. I would love to go back to this place.

Cam and I went to SK's Donuts and got some delicious donuts there. That place has been consistently incredible since they reopened. 

Tacos Tu Madre (First Time!)

Long time no write. JP sent me a message saying there was this place called Tacos Tu Madre nearby. I had never heard of this place and never go down that street and never would have found out about this if she hadn't told me. There is a serious lack of good food in this area so I was excited to try this. I ordered and went to grab it in fifteen minutes and I'll be damned if it wasn't ready.

I got the grilled chicken bowl which consisted of cilantro lime marinated chicken, pico de gallo,
avocado tomatillo salsa, chile lime queso fresco. I also got the Korean taco which had 36 hour asian marinade steak,kimchi, avocado tomatillo salsa. Both of these were so damn amazing. The bowl is enough for two meals so I had half. The place looks super nice. I got it to go but they have seating indoors and outdoors. I know people are asking about Covid spacing and such. Just get your food and go home if you're worried, you weirdos.

Baby's First Bread

I made bread. Like actual for real ass bread for myself. I made the first loaf a couple weeks ago using a recipe CK sent me. She made me some bread and it was so damned good and made her place smell great. I wanted to try it but figured I did not have the ingredients or tools to even begin. Turns out you don't need much. I have a stove, a big pot, and water. All I needed was yeast, flour, and salt. Yeah. Recipe only has four ingredients.

This is the first one I made. It came out flatter than I pictured but tasted really good. I realized that I messed up pouring the water into the mixture because it became very hard to stir it all together. Either way, I let it sit overnight and baked it and got to eat bread that I made. I still wanted it taller and with more holes.

Tlayuda L.A and Kruang Tedd

I went to Tlayuda L.A with CK. She had mentioned going to this place on Santa Monica Blvd. I can't pronounce the name even when I see it written down frenetically. CK got the tlayuda veggie style while I got two chicken tacos and two Coke's because I am an animal. I liked this place and the tacos were really good. I was expecting some bootleg shredded chicken but this had really good chicken I would eat by itself. And they were not stingy with the avocado. This place is also really comfortable and the staff was nice. No long wait for the meal and I housed those chips while we waited.

A few days ago we went to Kruang Tedd on Hollywood over in Thai Town. I have not had super good Thai in along time since King & I aka @Bangkok and then some other name or Kinaree back in the day before their service became garbage and they changed their name to Otus. Now Otus is good but Kruang Tedd is almost close to King & I good. We got chicken larb mild. CK got a tofu with glass noodles. And of course the tom yum soup with medium heat. Medium my ass. I got hiccups but they thankfully passed. Oh, and I got a Thai iced tea. Just one because people know that I can house three of them in one sitting. I am so glad that I got to try two new places in a few days that were both really good.

First Time At The Griddle

Last week I went to The Griddle for the first time ever. I have lived near the place for over twenty years and every time I was close to it I was either seeing a movie, enjoying Coffee Bean, Zankou, or at The Counter (no longer there). Every time I saw the place the line was huge and I have learned to stop going to places with long lines. Nothing worse than eating your food with a bunch of people waiting for your ass to finish eating. I would have not gone if CK did not suggest it. We went there early in the morning and there were just a few tables taken. I kept saying "Booth booth booth booth booth..." because if I go to a place with booths, damn it, I want to be in one.

CK ordered some coffee and she got the blueberry pancakes and I got one with apples called Teacher's Pet. We contemplated sides and after seeing these monstrous ass pancakes I am so glad we didn't. I was able to eat maybe 15% of my pancake. I thought it would be one massive thing and it turns out there are three of them. If you are able to eat one of these by yourself in one sitting someone needs to talk to you. I had it for breakfast, dinner later, breakfast the next day, and the damn thing was just half past gone. If I go again I will split pancakes with someone instead. Oh, and my dumb ass didn't know they had other food. I thought it was all pancakes.

Getting Stuffed At Bludso's

Cam and I went to Bludso's over on La Brea a few days ago. I wasn't even thinking about barbecue until she mentioned it. When sat outside and actually found parking right out front which was a miracle. I wanted to order something different since I always get hot links and call it a day. This time I ordered fries and a sandwich that had hot links and beef brisket on it. Cam got chicken, pickles, corn bread, and macaroni and cheese.

You may also see some pork ribs sitting there? Yeah. Those came on accident. I'm no criminal so I told them as soon as they brought I pointed it out and they said it was fine and we were not charged for them. Cam don't eat pork like that so I ended up taking them home for dinner. The fries were really good as well as the sandwich which damn near crippled me it was so filling. I wanted to try some of the sides but I was so full from my meal. This was so damn good.
