Old LA Staple "Round Table Pizza"

 Oh yes Round Table Pizza king supreme 6 slice. My fiance loves Pizza so we like to go around town and try out different pizza. Round Table is an old classic staple in Los Angeles so I wanted to take him there and let him taste. I remember there used to be straw hat pizza when i was little then Round Table started popping up in the late 90's. I'm not sure if it is the same company but for those who remember straw hat pizza it taste the same. I love the signature crust its thin but not cracker thin.  The topping are scrumptious.  There are many locations but we popped into the one in temecula,ca while visiting family.  He loved it but I don't think there has been any pizza he hated lol.

Callender's Grill Wilshire Champagne Brunch

Callender's GrillWilshire by Screen Actors Guild is light years better than your normal Marie Calendars.  I have been going here for years as it right by my union Screen Actors Guild. This was the first time however that I have been for their Sunday Brunch. It was wonderful and even had a piano singer during our dining experience. Only $23 you get a variety of hot and cold eats, an omelet station. turkey and roast carving station, salad bar and of course Marie Calendar famous pies slices at the dessert station. You cant have brunch without endless mimosas. It was wonderful less expensive than Shanghai Reds or some of the other $40-$50 brunch's we were used to and it had just as much food.  Love Love and will be back.

Cooking At Your Table Korean BBQ style

So my fiance and I stumbled into Gen Korean BBQ House in Torrance friday night. It was packed we waiting for a long while but once we sat down and saw and tasted it was well worth the wait. When we arrived to our seats we realized it was brunch style so two set prices $14.99 for lunch and $19.99 for dinner. There were 4 to 5 small plates waiting for us ranging from sweet potato salad to other pickled assortments. We were encouraged to try four meats off the menu of 37 selections to start the night off. We had a beef night we ordered steak, hawaiian steak, korean bbq short ribs, and a pork chops. My fiance knows I love hands on events so he was smiling from ear to ear as I eagerly grilled our meat for us at the table. I did let him get some grilling time in on our second round of meats but I was in child heaven getting my hands into everything, Not to mention the huge bowl of salad they started us off with had the most amazing dressing ever. We ate the whole bowl which I didn't think we would. Because our meat selections were so thinly sliced and so tender might I add we just ate and ate and it took us a while to get full. But when we were full we made sure to stop there is no taking home its tempting to finish your plate but just put the chopsticks down when enough is enough lol. We will def revisit and try out some of the chicken selections and we will probably go with a group to enjoy the experience even more in a different way.  Maybe for a birthday or just because we love to find new places eat and share with others.

Botega Louie for Brunch

So my fiance and I were downtown shopping and we decided to stop by Botega Louie on the corner of 7th and Grand for brunch.  My breakfast was yummy. I had egg, smoked bacon, garlic roasted breakfast potatoes and toast with a mimosa.  My fiance couldn't resist getting a pizza, its his favorite food and we don't have a lot of gourmet pizza spots in our neighborhood so he opted for a half peperoni and sausage pizza with fresh mozzarella and fresh tomato sauce. 

 The service was extra friendly and the day was lovely so the bright lights from the sun filled the room that has large windows all around the venue.  It reminds me of a gourmet kitchen in New York so I love going there to remind me of times past.

Order from your table IPAD @ Stacked

Stacked in Torrance is a perfect place to go to when you want to eat get your food pay and go without hardly waiting. Perfect if you are grabbing a bite before movie for example. At your table you will find an ipad that you can scroll through the menu to pick your appetizers drinks food and dessert.  You literally begin to stack your ingredients on your burger, pizza or salad.  There are a variety of cheeses, meats, sauces lettuce and bread to choose from to stack to perfection.  Each person takes turns at the ipad then you push the send to kitchen button and you are done.  In a few your waiter will pop up at your table with your meal.  You can also pay right when you finish ordering or you can wait to the end of your meal either way you dont have to flag down a busy waiter you just swipe you card and go.  There is also a button to split the check and you can use multiple cards as well as call for a waiter and pay cash.  If you pay at the beginning and decide you want dessert you simply swipe your card again and stack your ice cream sandwich etc... and hit that send to kitchen button again. I love the fast service and the hands on approach to this restaurant. They also have happy hour and a full bar. Ilove their skinny fries with the curry ketchup or aiola sauce

Edendale in Silverlake

So I had such a wonderful time at Edendale in Silverlake this sunday morning. I celebrated my bday with a 11:30 brunch with friends.  Everyone had a wonderful dish from Shrimp and Grits, Chicken and Waffles, English Muffin Sandwich and some fancy salads topped off with some Mimosa's.  The  weather was nice so we had brunch on the outside patio. The manager and hostess were so helpful as well so that made everything run smoothly.   The building itself is so cute it used to be a old firehouse that they turned into a nice grill. They also have a bar that is frequented for their dinner hour that starts at 5pm

Santa Barbara Breakfast with a Kick

 

 The Cajun Kitchen in Santa Barbara was a great surprise for breakfast and lunch. The prices were inexpensive and the portions were massive. I would have to say it was a guilty pleasure definitely somewhere I would not go to everyday because of all the extra butter fried goodness.  I had a New Orleans omelet filled with cheese Louisiana hot sausage bell peppers and onions.





My fiancé had a catfish po boy sandwich piled high he couldn't even take a bite. The thick fries looked wonderful and were overflowing on the plate.
