Had a corned beef sandwhich at Jerry's deli today. Um can we say never again. The meat was so dry It looked like when they put the fake food on display. I wish I was at Canters on Fairfax, which by the way has the best mouth watering corned beef sandwhich in la that I've had so far. I give Jerry's 2 delish stars only for effert.

Nothing Like BOSSA NOVA

Brazilian Food that tantalizes the taste buds.  BOSSA NOVA has been around since the 90's and to this day is still popular to locals and celebs alike.  There are three locations that I know of but the spot I always find myself at is 7181 Sunset Blvd. 90046.  Not only does Bossa Nova have great food but it stays open until 4am.  Who says you cant great food in LA after 2am lol.  I usually get the garlic chicken with black beans and rice with plantain and a tropical punch that they have.  Between appetizers and meals the price ranges from $7.00 - $30.00  They just added a happy hour so I'm sure there will be even better prices for great

dining.  Bossa Nova is open 7 days a week from 11am- 4am. I give it 10 delish stars!

Dukes in Malibu

I recently was out in Malibu singing at a wedding on the beach that was beautiful.  After the gig all of us singers were hungry of course and decided to go to Dukes 21150 Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. They say celebrate the Aloha Spirit on the water edge at Dukes.  Fun Fact about Duke Kahanamoku is that he is Hawaii most famous citizen and King of international surfing.

We stayed in the barefoot bar to eat and let me tell you best bar food I have ever tasted. We heard on Fridays they even have Hawaiian Dancers.You can have burgers with mango sauce to calamari with guava sauce to coconut crusted shrimp to waffle fries and yam fries and nachos big enough for three people to share we were very satisfied to say the least.  Not to mention the amazing view of huge waves crashing on the rocks outside the huge windows.  The prices range from $6 to $14. If you dine in the regular dining area the prices are in the $20-$30 bracket. Whatever your budget is you will dine sufficiently.  I give Dukes  9 delish stars.

Ok so I was in pasadena tonight at rehearsal for this performance chior that I am in and we went to Kings Taco. The best after hour spot for a quick $1.25 taco. You would not believe how much flavor is packed into this little bite size taco.  I can usually eat  about three lol. Most things on the menu are under $6.00You can find this laid back esablishment at 45 N. Arroyo Pkwy Pasadena , CA.  Its not amazing but it is the perfect spot to ease latenight hunger. Perfect for college students during their late night study breaks. I give it 7 delish stars.

Cheesecake Factory

The Luau salad at cheesecake factory plays with your pallate in a way that is exillirating.  Leafy greens with tossed scallions, carrots,avacado, mango salsa  in between two layers of a crispy wanton square.  The sweet mixed with the tangy is great and even though the plate looks massive its still light so I was full but not in that thanksgiving open your pants way.  I went to the cheesecake factory in marina del rey, smaller than most and always busy. Lots on the menu so go there with a taste for something or you will get lost with what to get lol. I give it 9 delish stars.

Lets Get Cultural at Merkato

So I had my first Ethiopian meal during my days in undergrad at UC Santa Cruz.  I have been in love with Ethiopian food ever since.  For those who don't know Fairfax between Pico and San Vicente is Little Ethiopia.  My fav spot is Merkato found at 1036 1/2 Fairfax Ave. La Ca 90019.  The spot has a cozy atmosphere. There is also a bar and store connected where you can buy different spices and items to make your own dishes at home. I love the veggie combination with the grilled fish.  Its a whole fish though so you should def have an eating partner. I give it 10 delish stars all day every day.

Biscuts From The Coffee Company

OK so you need to go get breakfast from The Coffee Company. You can find this cute little cafe on LaTijera near Manchester. Just about every sunday a few of my friends along with my mom and her friends go to Coffee Company.  There is always a line around the corner if you dont get there at the right time, which im not going to tell you so that time doesnt get busy lol.  We even have a special table by the window that the  hostess always seats up at.  My favorite is the homemade buttermilk biscuits. Some other favorites are the vegetarian sausage and the spicy chicken sausage. A great pallat pleased for a Sunday afternoon actress church. I give it 9 relish stars.
