I just got back from Los Angeles – my wife had a conference (http://genblue.coldwellbanker.com/) to attend. We made sure to put in as much interesting food into the trip as we could. In no particular order other than me remembering them; links to the ones I would recommend.
(Note: Picture used from my wife’s instagram feed)
In & Out Burger – D | Double and Fries | Tasted like a Big Mac. Fries were almost like baked fries, but fluffy and with substance. Delicious! |
Jamba Juice – B, B, B | OJ x 4 | Love the fresh squeezed OJ. I think we went almost every day, except for the day we went to Vivian’s. |
Starbucks – C, C, C | Pike Place Coffee | Better than the stuff at the Hotel; not optimal, did not have a chance to find a local roaster. |
Cabo Wabo – D | Corn Cob Caborita |
Delicious. The drink was not as good. Would not recommend, there’s much better fare around, unless you’re on foot with nowhere to go and you need to entertain people. |
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co – D | Shrimp Collection Fish Taco |
The Fish Taco was much better than the Shrimp |
Wolfgang Puck – L | Spaghetti with Meat Sauce | eh, ok. Once again, tourist trap, nowhere else to go. |
Vivian’s Millennium Café – B | Pancakes and Sausage and stuff | Little mom and pop diner; Food Good. |
Healthyca – L | NoHo Sausage Sandwich | Very Good. (NoHo = North Hollywood) (Sausage and caramelized onions) |
Homeboy Café and Bakery at LAX Terminal 4 – L | Californian (Turkey, Avocado, 7-Grain bread) | Delicious |
Farmer’s Market at Grove – Brazilian Buffet – L | (bunch of stuff) | Decent food. I recommend going here just for the diversity. I did NOT get to try paella, or singapore stuff, or .. (lots of choices) |
Umami Burger – D | Truffle Burger, Home Made Ding Dong | I apparently don’t like Truffle anything. But the Ding Dong was great. |
D’Lush – S | Thai Iced Tea | Delicious! |
Fair warning, there’s a lot of LA stuff that I could post about.
