The Counter On Ventura

Today Jen-Jen and I went to The Counter over on Ventura to grab something to eat. She got a burger with fried pickles while I got the sliders. I had never tried them before and knew that I wanted something that wasn't gonna cripple my ass since I knew we would be moving around all afternoon. These little things were really good. They had a pickle, cheese, and onions with fries. I also had a Sprite. Our waitress was good (braids, nice, ass that wouldn't quit) and didn't ask us how the food was while our mouths were full. This was my first time at this location and while it is small it tasted great. Maybe the bigger ones lose something in their size. We sat outside and it was really nice weather today. Just gotta be careful for th crazy hobos on Ventura.  

Two Weeks Of Food

A few weeks ago I went to Il Trammezino with Jen-Jen. This place was on Ventura and even though there is one near me in Beverly Hills I'd never been there or heard of it. She says its one of her favorite places and if I am eating somewhere for the first time and you tell me its one of your favorite places I'm gonna try it for sure. So we get there and even though it looks packed there is a table for the two of us. We sit down, she gets coffee, me a Sprite. I almost always get this or an Arnold Palmer when I try something new or if I don't want what I'm having to be messed with by the taste of something stronger like Coke.

I got the turkey avocado sandwich and when I took that first bite I damn near slid out my chair. It was so damned good. The bread was incredible. Most times you have a fancy sandwich the main difference is that the bread is harder or you have to put up more of a fight when eating it. This one was perfect. I'll definitely be heading back here and trying more things.
