Very Late Food Blog

I still take pictures of the food when I go out but for some reason can not stay on top of posting the images here. So I made a little video with some of the food I've had this year along with some random late ass images. 

Back At Guisado's

L. and I went to Guisado's for lunch a couple of weeks ago in the middle of the week pretending were were those people that don't have to work. I like this place because it is consistent with their flavors. I got two beef tacos that were juicy as hell. L. got a chicharrones one that she thought was kinda mushy. She also got the ceviche which is always good and I am glad they made it a permanent part of their menu. I will always come back to this place.

Bazille At Nordstrom

This past weekend L. and I found this place called Bazille to eat. Never heard of it? Same. So we were near Del Amo Mall and did some shopping and started looking for places to eat. I kept joking about going to Chili's and she found some place but the address said Nordstrom. That was odd. So we headed there and sure enough the place is located on the second floor. We were seated immediately and ordered our food. I got a fried chicken sandwich because I like seeing how different places make them. L. got crab bisque and a chicken salad. I didn't like the bisque as she guessed I wouldn't since I'm not a lobster or crab man.

Musso & Frank Grill

A few days ago L. and I went to Musso & Frank Grill for a late birthday celebration for me. We went to Craig's a few weeks ago (images were too dark to write a full post about it) and that was good. Went to Eddie V's last year and that was great. But this place was straight up incredible. I had heard of it for years but just assumed I could not ever afford to eat at a place like it especially since its right in the middle of Hollywood. Shockingly it came up to more than $100 cheaper than Eddie V's. Seriously, I was afraid to look at the receipt and smiled when I saw it.

Eating At Thai Table Whittier

A few weeks ago Cam and I went to Whittier to hunt down some plants. It was cool. Then we wondered what was even out there to eat. We spotted this place called Thai Table and decided to see what it was about. Our standards are pretty damn high when it comes to Thai food after being to places like King & I (still miss that spot) and Toi up on Sunset. I was pleasantly surprised with how good this food was. We got the chicken potstickers for an appetizer which were nice and hot. She got an eggplant noodle for a meal which was good and I got chicken noodles and we split the chicken larb. Chicken larb always tastes better than pork larb. Go figure. The Thai tea was good, just mixed before it got to us.

Location: Located on the corner of a giant shopping center. Plenty of parking.

Service: Very nice staff. Just hard to get their attention for things like more napkins. They walk around with their eyes down.

Price: Very good price. Had enough food to leave having to walk it off and more for dinner the next evening.

Big Ass Meals At Cheesecake Factory

A few weeks ago L. and I went to Cheesecake Factory. We were supposed to go someplace nicer the previous day but I was feeling like a lazy asshole lump so we went here instead in Redondo Beach. I had not been to one in years and forgot how big their portions were. For appetizers we got I believe ahi nachos that tasted good and was massive. She got these rice deals that were good. For a meal I got fish and chips while she got a lemon chicken pasta dish. We took food home and split a slice of caramel cheesecake. All of it was good but when I end up here again I will for sure be getting just a meal because I didn't even finish the nachos. I tried.

Location: Nice. Right by a pier you can wander over to before or after eating. It was a chilly day but still looked pretty out. Parking was smooth. $5 to park in the lot if you don't wanna use valet.

Service: Fast service and they check on you just enough times. I got a refill so that is an automatic plus for me. I am big on refills.

Price: Price was good for the amount of food they give. You will end up with two or three meals from ordering just the one.

Yeastie Boys Bagel Sandwiches

Last weekend L. and I went to a farmers market on accident. We meant to head to this Yeastie Boys truck which we previously thought was over in Silverlake or something. Thankfully it was right up the street from me and, damn, this was good. I got a bacon, egg, and cheese with a delicious ass bagel while she got a salmon one. I took a bite of hers and it was super good. I will definitely be eating some more here and would be this coming weekend if it was for that dumb ass marathon coming through.

Location: Found one of the last spots at a meter nearby.

Service: Good and fast. That was one of the best bagel sandwiches I've had.

Price: Not sure. L. bought it for me since it was my birthday weekend.

Food Blog Videos

I have had a lot of food at a lot of places. I forget to post on here (and get lazy as hell about writing about them). I decided to make some videos of the places I've eaten since last year.

Tacos, Ribs, Beef Wellington, and Chicken Sandwiches

In an effort to make sure I don't fall too far behind on these food blogs I am going to make sure I try and stay up to date with these. The first place I'm going to talk about is Guisado's where L. and I went to get some tacos. She had never been there before and I had been there of course with JP and I really like this place. We ended up getting some tacos that weren't exactly what she was expecting but she still kind of like them but she and I really loved the ceviche that they had. They normally do not have this all the time so it was a cool surprise and a half and after having a bite of hers I had to get my own. They also have very bionic lemonade.

More Way Too Late Food Posts

Since the summer I have eaten at a lot of different places and tried a lot of new food. Have I been posting about them? No! Why? Because I'm a bum that was also dealing with depression. Now that I'm not I will post about some of the good food I have had over the months. I don't have pictures of everything like Vito's that I went to with Cam but rest assured that we went there before seeing a play and enjoyed it like always. But that new server can go to hell. She rude.

At the Santa Monica Pier L. and I went to this really good seafood spot. I got poke because I have been obsessed with it for a couple years now. She got clam chowder. Both were really good and the service was incredibly fast.

We also went to Leimert Park and got some Ethiopian food at a festival. This was enough for three meals for me. Everything was good.

Way Too Late Food Posts

Oh my god. I have not written on here since last August and have not gone to a ton of places but have been a lazy ass and not updated this blog. This blog is pretty much for myself anyway. None of y'all reading this. I am gonna write some quick things about the places unless I feel like saying something extra. So...yeah. Here.

Cam and I decided to try chicken sandwiches from different places. We tried out Church's and Jack In The Box. JITB was the best one which is weird considering you would think Church's would be awesome considering they are a damn chicken place.

The other two places were Burger King which was fine and had nice sauce. By far the worst one was McDonald's. I was only able to take a single bite of of that and just stopped. Cam thought it was gross too.

Food That Never Came At Hot N' Juicy Crawfish

I wish I could tell you how good Hot N' Juicy Crawfish is but I can't because I never got my order. My cousin Mala has mentioned this place to me many times over years and I am not a huge seafood fan. I liked shrimp. Fried. I can just eat it. I don't like taking my food apart and eating it or when my food looks like what it used to look like. I don't need to see eyes and such. So L. took me here for a surprise. Got our seats pretty quickly and all that. I ordered fried shrimp and cajun fries while she got this bag of chaos with all kinda stuff in it. They even give you a bib and cover the table up like a scene out of Dexter. So I get my fries and L. got her bag of food. No shrimp. Five minutes later. Ten. Twenty. They ask me how my food is. I say it has not come. Waitress says she will check. Says about two minutes. I've worked on Hell's Kitchen. There is no such thing as two minutes out a kitchen. So after about 45 minutes I just ask for the check because my food never arrived. L. made sure they removed my order. So, yeah. Will I go back? Maybe in a long while from now. I just can't get over a place being able to crank out every other table around me but not have the ability to bring regular ass fried shrimp.

Mel's Fail

 

A couple months ago I went to Universal Studios with L. Other than it being hot as hell, during a pandemic, no water fountains, and witnessing a few almost fights, we had a good time. Mostly at the Harry Potter area. Spent hours there. Anyhoot, L. had never been to Mel's while I had, but it was the location on Hollywood. Very good every time I have gone. But this Universal Studios one should be ashamed of themselves. You could have a kid whip you a burger that looks and tastes better than this. It took such a long time for anyone to get their food and when we did it was edible but barely even worth me writing about. And they had the nerve to serve the smallest milkshake I've ever gotten there with a thick paper straw. If you and your family or friends are at Universal, do not spend your money or time here. Hell, eat before you go since everything that goes in your mouth costs too much. I dare you to even spot the patty.

Prawn And Moon Rabbit

Have you ever heard of this place called Prawn? Its in Downtown LA at the Grand Central Market. L. and I went there for the first time a couple months ago and afterward she could not stop thinking about it. We were looking for something while we were downtown and walked around the entire area when we both started smelling some shrimp. Like, through our masks it smelled great. I got into the Soul Train line and placed my order while she managed to grab a seat. She got a Thai lobster roll which was amazing but the best thing was the fried shrimp I had. It was by far the best tasting fried shrimp I have ever had in my life. No joke.

We ended up heading back specifically for this place about a month later. The plates looked different but the food was still good. L. got this lobster dish that was supposed to have lobster sauce but didn't which sucked but it was still good. I also got the cod along with shrimp and it was delicious. This place is seriously just really good. Takes a bit to get it but its well worth it.

Oh, and each time we got this jasmine rose tea from Moon Rabbit. Holy hell, they make some good tea! The cup is huge and lasts a while. Just be careful not to accidentally inhale an entire rosebud or tea leaf while drinking it.

Double Fat Tours!!!

JP came to visit! She arrived in late May and stayed till early June but we managed to squeeze in two Fat Tours. For those of you that don't know, Fat Tours are when we go to three or more places and eat. During the first tour we went to Tacos Tu Madre which she told me about even though she was halfway across the country. We went and while it was good I was bummed out that her tacos were so cold. Between grabbing the food and getting to my place it was less than five minutes and I waited ten to even get my food.
