My constant looking around while a passenger at what my surroundings are... Is that anxious based?

It has been some time since I've posted anything. Some time indeed, but hey if Julie can up and ditch her blog I figure I might as well re-start this one. Cooking and all that surrounds it. You know that giddy feeling you get, the one that makes you forget about all the problems in the the world for a bit and you just want to relish in that moment. That's been me lately with a resurgence of

I like fried chicken... but damn I love this place. Usually it's Popeye's for me as it's close to the house. Occasionally I make it over to Roscoe's in Long Beach, but Honey's is my favorite. Honey's is cash only and in the hood, Compton that is. About a mile from the 710 on Alondra Blvd, just down the street from Bludsoe's BBQ. Try the hush puppies.

Posted my Yelp review for Los Compadres. It's a little place in Lynwood down the street from where I work. The owners have a carnicería up the street as well on MLK. I've had the tacos, tortas, burritos and quesadillas. I usually play it safe with asada and al pastor to which they both do not disappoint. Though not on the menu I had a burrito pescado today... it was ok. I'm used to the one

So ate here this past Friday with the twins and I realized it had been almost a year since I had last eaten here. I was soooo excited.  For some people they don't understand.. for others it's all too clear. When you find good food, it's something that you have a hard time stopping, eating that is. Middle eastern food is one of these... but Indian is probably the first cuisine that I ever

Here's my review for Narai Thai in Downey..... yet again I'm let down by the Yelp crowd... seriously they are some bipolar bitches... also I can't believe it's been that long since I've posted.... oh well... Tonight I have some Indian food.. at one of my favorite places... to which again I say them Yelp bitches must be bipolar... http://www.yelp.com/biz/

A few words that I reviewed last night in the LG book.. Abondance - a cheese from France in the Savoie region.. Abattoir - A one who will process a whole animal for you, meat, offal, skin, etc...

So it's all his fault.. damn the Gordon Ramsey and his cooking shows that get me all riled up and what not... I missed the Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef shows this week but I'll need to watch them later on this week. I have not really gone anywhere new.. aside from a very mediocre Japanese place near the house... Really Japanese food in has gone to crap where I live... no good sushi places... I

So out of nowhere I got hankerin' for some hot wings and a beer. Mmmmm tasty spicy vinegary goodness washed down with a nice pilsner. The only question was where would I want to go should I need to fulfill this craving. For me my favorite place is Hooters, they have some awesome wings. Service isn't all that great but I like the food there. They also have a decent seafood sampler platter. Second

I love Japanese culture.... possibly due to my Dad being stationed in Japan and related a few stories about being there and also it was the first culture I remember being exposed, at least with some relative regularity. Either Japanese restaurants or going to Little Tokyo in Downtown LA, I was exposed to it. Hence I like the song by the Vapors... Now as this is supposed to be a blog about food,

If you have the taste buds of a cockroach, you'll probably enjoy Pink's Hot Dogs in Buena Park at Knott's Berry Farm. Really where do I begin with this place, aside from the customer service, this place is a  dismal failure on so many levels. Let's start with building location/layout. The place is too cramped for the amount of traffic that they get. There is one window to order and one

So in case you haven't heard me say it enough already.. I love Asian food.. I don't think there is a better regional cuisine than Asian.. Really from Indian to Japanese to Korean to Chinese to Thai... and I've only just started. Phillipino (debatable if it's Asian as I've read in some places) is one that I've just started to explore and aside from lumpia (a type of egg roll), one that needs

It'd been a while.. years in fact that i can think of eating oneself silly.. or to the point that I slept horribly and needed antacid's. The past Friday we went to Incheonwon Korean BBQ in Garden Grove. Oh my gosh.. this place rocks... I need to Yelp a review for this place but basically here is the low down. It's a bit spendy!! Especially on the hard liquor and wine.  We went with the

Mac n Cheese.. for adults! So this past weekend I made some adult variety mac n cheese. I must say that for me MnC is usually the blue box. Highly processed crap... I don't know.. maybe there is crack in it. Well this past weekend I made some potentially high "adult" mac n cheese. I think that is why i went down this route, it was not the typical MnC,it was different. Though I don't like the

I eat bad Mexican food so you don't have to... I grew up down the street (Edwards & McFadden) of Georges (Edwards & Edinger) which I think was there when I moved to HB as a kid in the late 70's. I've been here 3 times I think, once when I didn't know any better, once because I was with people who didn't know any better, and once because I forgot I didn't know better. Check out my review

Check out my Yelp review for this Sri Lankan place in Anaheim, Wadiya. DO NOT GO TO THE WEBSITE FOR WADIYA - GOOGLE SAYS IT HAS MALWARE ON IT. It's a second chance kind of place, the food has me interested but not like OMFG this is amazing. Order off the menu and not the buffet. I think the menu food is better, buffet is ok.

It has been a while since I've written anything here. My focus has been towards other various writing endeavors. Plus I haven't cooked or gone anywhere of worth recently that I can think of... no new recipes... though this morning I realized that I love and loath home cooking... The best part of cooking at home is that your well cooking at home... I guess. There are a number of reasons as to why

I feel like a fat kid at fat camp who found the contraband locker and everyone is gone on a 4 hour hike... this brownie is amazing...

Cake.. chocolate.. German... Now imagine if there was a brownie version of this.. hot damn.. it is so fucking good. So my daughter picked one up for me from Sweet Jill's, which is a bakery in Seal Beach and Long Beach. She grabbed it at the SB location. I haven't had anything this yummy in forever... Speaking of sweet shops, LBC had one called Grandma Sugarplums.. I miss that place.

First I do not speak Spanish at all... so don't let the title fool you. I have a very limited Spanglish vocabulary and get ridiculed by my wife all the time for my poor grammar and even "poorer" pronunciation. So has the title says Junk Food... the items in question for the menu for this weekend. I've been wanting to make Sloppy Jose's and hot wings since before the Super Bowl. To add to this

So my Pop is in town this week. Dinner is the agenda for Wednesday. I'm a bit torn on my options. While there are a number of restaurants near us that we could go to, I want to go somewhere new. There is a Argentinian place near us, along with some Asian inspired Nawlins' style seafood. I found a review for a Chinese place as well. Decisions?!?!?!?

Sunday, Williams Sonoma technical cooking class. Subject, souffles - savory and sweet. I'd been wanting to (needing to) do something regarding cooking, though I find myself struggling with a bit of the uninspired melancholy funk as of late. My motivation has gone to shit on trying to lose weight as well, though I may find myself on the bike this evening. So standing in the WS store on Sunday

Yum.. I love Thai Yellow Curry. Something about curry and rice that is probably one of the ultimate comfort foods for me, though I have come to find no two curries are a like. O Top Thai BBQ, located in a little strip mall in Gardena, on Vermont North of Artesia. This is a little hole in the wall place, clean, minimally decorated and a large menu considering the size of the place. Normally I
