Two Weeks Lots To Eat

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.

Hurry Curry

On Memorial Day after a crazy ass hike in Murphy's Ranch with Koko we went to this place in Japantown called Hurry Curry. I think I have been to this area maybe four times in my life and twice it was for burgers. We went to one place and the wait was 45 minutes and fuck that because it was new, packed, and I was hungry and not even trying to wait that long. We got our seats super fast and our food came less than ten minutes after ordering it. Oh, and it all came up to less than $30. You can't beat that. 

For an appetizer I got the chicken which was boneless and so damned good. We both got curries. Koko got the Tokyo curry and I got the pork cutlet one. We tried each and they were both good. I got the hot one but it wasn't all that hot to me. If you are ever in that area check it out. The staff is cool, the food is good, not expensive, and the place is comfortable. Oh, I forgot to mention the salad. Not sure what that brown stuff is but it was great and made the salad awesome. 

Tatsu Ramen and El Diner

I got to go to two new food places last week. The first place is a ramen spot over on Melrose right before La Brea. It is called Tatsu and we went on a Friday night and the place was packed. I'm talking line to the door packed. Thankfully the food is made pretty quickly and you order your food in line through a few tablets. The place clears out as fast as it fills up so we were able to get a seat at the window inside. Each of us got soul ramen. Koko got the one with an egg in it while I did not. You can pick how much garlic, the type of broth, and how spicy or strong you want it. There are even vegan options if you want. I'm gonna try this place again for sure and since they deliver that makes this more likely.

The next place I went to was El Diner with Cam. This place is right next to the El Rey theater on Wilshire. We went here before a show and since she had been here before and said they were good I wanted to try it. Again. You'd be surprised at how hard it is to find good Mexican food in Los Angeles. Everyone has their favorite but most are not that good. This place was good but if I could suggest anything it would be more of everything. I got a chicken burrito that was good but just needed more everything but rice. The cheese, salsa, and sour cream were all on one end and not much. It was good but I would've liked more. The guacamole and chips were really good and I'd love a big ass plate of those.  

Lots Of Different Food

I have been to quite a few paces in the past few weeks and have totally been slacking when it comes to writing about them so like a lazy ass I'm gonna just post each one in this one blog. This isn't a Fat Tour because its over a period of weeks and not a day. Enjoy!

On Halloween before the parade me and my cousin Mala headed to Sweet Chile on Santa Monica Blvd. I had stopped going to this place for years choosing to head to Sammy's Thai Barbecue instead. Well, sad to say this but Sammy's is no longer edible. I'm serious. The food tastes so bad now. At Sweet Chile we got dumplings that looked like none I'd seen before but tasted great. Beef pad se ew as well as shrimp fried rice. Oh, and really good friend won tons. They have really large portions even for a regular size so expect to take leftovers. We had enough left for sharing each others food and two separate meals the following day. The staff here is really nice and the location is on the main street but it is nice and calm inside. Thai places love old R&B and pop.

Home Sweet Home In Los Feliz

Located at 1760 Hillhurst Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027 Home Sweet Home is one of many places that I've never been to because I'm just not in Los Feliz often. Koko and I tried to go to another place but it was closed because a lot of places are just not open in the middle of the day anymore and the other places was described as a “dirty Thai place.” Yeah...but no. So we headed to Home Sweet Home and I am so glad we did. The atmosphere was really chill and the waitresses were good. Not once did they ask me if I was enjoying my food while it was in my mouth. Didn't hurt that that had legs for days. I got fish and chips that were really good and garlicky. Koko got fluffy egg whites with other stuff including a bowl of fruit that I tried and liked. I would like to try this place again and others in the area. I also need to add that their bathroom was very clean!
