All The Food Since February

I know I wait far too long between food posts. Its pretty damn terrible and I have now put myself in a situation where I have a LOT of food to write about since February. I am gonna try my best to remember everything about them. Some will stand out for how good it was. Okay. These will not be in order. Here we go.

Butcher Baker The Cappuccino Maker

One of the favorite spots for me and my lady. We have been here a few times and each time the food is great. I do recall a guy wearing terrible cologne sitting near us this time. I got steak and eggs and it was so good. Their portions have increased since we had last gone. Would definitely go back again and again.

Three Weeks of Food

Over the past couple weeks I have gone and eaten at some groovy ass places. There are two I have no images of like Pinche's on Sunset with with CK and recently The Counter near the tar pits with Cam. Before the AFI Fest with Coco we headed to PokiNometry. I had been here once before the previous year and it was so damned good. I ended up getting poki at another place this week down the street from me. Just get some shrimp, some tuna, some avocado and I'm good.

Lazy Fat Blogger

I have been such a bum the last month or so and not posting when I went somewhere to eat. On Halloween hanging out with my awesome cousin JP we headed to Continental Kitchen and some some bacon burgers and fries. Great as always. I headed to Penguin's with Cam after a shopping adventure because we hadn't been there in a minute. Love that place. With Koko we went to Mel's on Hollywood in between movies at the AFI film festival. Good food. Last week me and my cousin Mala went to Plan Check on Fairfax after shopping. We got a burger and their amazing fried chicken. She said hers had too much fat but it was still super tasty. Cool ass waiter, too. 

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.

At Penguin's Again

Yesterday me and Cam went to Penguin's on Pico after a fruitless search on my part for some clothes from the thrift store. We hit up three and when we got hungry headed over and got the same meals; fish, shrimp, fries and hush puppies. I had catfish while she had trout. After we were one (she saved some of hers) I felt so much better and wished that a place like this was closer to me. There may be. I bitched for years about no good Mexican food near me and then finding out about Pinche's. The simplicity of this makes me smile. Just well made food and a Snapple and I am good for hours. Then I get mad that I didn't order more to take home and eat.

Food Over The Weekend

Over the weekend I ate way too much damned food. Seriously. Friday me and Cam hung out and were trying to figure out what to eat. Between Chik-Fil-A and Penguins we choose Penguins. I had only been there once before and it was good. We got catfish (not as good as Christina's!), shrimp, potato salad, and fries with a mango Snapple to wash it down. This place is so damn good. All you need is hot sauce and you are good to go!

After that I went to hang out with my tattoo artist Coco we grabbed some Toi over in Sunset. For an appetizer we got the fried wontons (above) which were really good. They had a spicy seasoning on them and were full of chicken.

Remember Sizzler?

Last week me and Cam…I really go out to eat with her a lot, don’t I? Anyhoot, we ended up going to Sizzler. I say “ended up” because I had shrimp on my mind for a couple of weeks and we decided to head to Penguin’s, that cool fish, shrimp, and chips place. So we drive over and they’re closed. They’re not open on Sundays?! We had no idea and just stared at each other. I was gonna get some shrimp, damn it. That was all I could think of. I wanted to jump out the car and scream to the heavens. Cam suggested IHOP but they don’t have the kinda shrimp I wanted. Next was either Denny’s or Sizzler. I settled on Sizzler.

We got there and got our tables and orders quickly. I got the all you can eat shrimp and fries while Cam got the salad bar. I had three refills of shrimp. Cam shared some of her chicken with me and I was satisfied. I didn’t eat the cheese bread because I don’t like it. This shocks the hell out of people but to me they taste like huge Cheez-Its and I don’t like those. We stayed for a while and had awesome conversations. Sizzler isn’t as cool as it used to be but still okay if you wanna chill.

Penguin's On Pico

This weekend while hanging out with Cam and running errands we both realized that we hadn’t really eaten all day. I wanted something different. Something I hadn’t had in a while. Fish and chips! And shrimp! We went to this place called Penguin's on Pico that I had never been to and probably passed all the damn time. We ordered catfish, jumbo shrimp, fries, and Snapple’s. This was exactly what I wanted and needed. This place was fast, good atmosphere, and the price was good. I’ll be heading here again. Better than going all the way to the ‘hood just for some fish. I got a side of macaroni while Cam got potato salad. Damn it. Now I'm hungry again.
