mr. ttt!!

too cute

animal restaurant on fairfax
appetizer #1
raw amberjack
w/ apple, pom, cilantro, jalapeno, cucumber, citrus
i do usually LOVE yellowtail
but this was just okay
quality was really good
but i was not very impressed / amused

appetizer #2
foie gras
biscuit
maple sausage gravy
OH
MY
GOD
if i ever come back here
it will be for this

the 109 for two
rib eye in foie gras sauce
that first bite was pretty amazing
but i would try something else next time
this place's focus is on meat-centric cooking
so it WAS really good
but i prefer that grilled flavor
next time will also try for dessert
their bacon chocolate crunch bar

tofu ya on sawtelle
came here for lunch w/ co-workers
ordered bulgogi which was meh

my co-workers ordered the lunch box special
i usually really dislike teriyaki chicken / ca rolls
but this was not bad
and the skewers were pretty good

kincaid's on redondo pier
my friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich
was kind of huge!!

we shared some oysters
pretty good, not bad
but not cold enough
i like my half shell oysters ICE cold

mac n' cheese with bacon
HANDS DOWN best restuarant macaroni and cheese ever!
gobs of melted cheese throughout
and the bacon wasn't all chunky or in the way
so good

maple chicken salad
w/ pear, pecans, blue cheese, maple vinaigrette
ICK DO NOT WANT!
the pears were perfect and the chicken was really good
but the salad was way overdressed
w/ THE most overpowering syrupy mess
ugh no do not order this

burnt cream
previously the only thing that kept me coming back to kincaid's
their creme brulee is my favorite

trastevere @ hollywood and highland center
salmone e piselli w/ penne
PERFECTLY cooked salmon
w/ peas in vodka cream tomato sauce
shitty photo i know
but this pasta was SO DELICIOUS

korean rice cakes @ work
made by my boss's wife
so good
could eat these all day

breakfast @ amandine
florentine omelette
one of my favs
mushroom, swiss, spinach

omelette amandine
ham, sauce bechamel, gruyere
what you order is what you get
fresh, tasty and homey

croque madame sandwich
sauce bechamel, ham, gruyere, fried egg

delice au chocolat
cannot go to amandine and not get this!
best chocolate cake EVER

fleming's in el segundo
too dark to get good photos of our amazing steaks
or the amazing blue cheese mashed potatoes
but did leave with some chocolate covered strawberries

disneyland food!!
uva bar for tapas @ downtown disney
please excuse crappy photos
we ate outside at the bar and it was dark out
red & gold beets w/ shaved fennel in vinaigrette
i love beets but this was just ok
kinda boring

spicy tuna tartare w/ avocado and crositini
REALLY good
would get this again for sure

mussels & clams
w/ chorizo in a white wine broth
was really tasty but not very worth it
prob would not get this again

and now for park food!!
caramel apple w/ peanuts

$6 for a corn dog??
outrageous right?
BUT FREAKING AMAZING
best corn dog i have ever had
get them at the red cart near plaza inn at the end of main street
or at paradise pier in ca adventure

dole whip!!
pineapple deliciousness
get it outside the enchanted tiki room in adventureland

no that is not another corn dog
that is straight up a melted log of cheddar in there
this one def requires sharing
only saw this at paradise pier in ca adventure

must go to the boudin bakery and mission tortilla factory
in golden state at ca adventure
soup breadbowls!
broccoli cheddar
delicious but too much bread
not enough soup
