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.
