Overheard on the Los Angeles Board

"You might be able to accomplish both missions at the Tiki-Ti in Silver Lake...some of the most godawful concoctions I've ever witnessed (the Stealth, or the Dr. Funk for example), while others are quite good. Uga-Booga!" – Local, responding to a request for the best and worst cocktails in Los Angeles

"I'm trying to remember all of the old 'Japanese coffee shops' like the old Holiday Bowl and Kabuki in the old Crenshaw Square. There is still one operating in the area but for the love of me, I can't remember the name of the place? They still have chashu fried rice and egg foo young plus the old standby pork noodles." – Clinton on Japanese-style Chinese food in LA

"You'll get a bigger portion at A-Won, but don't be fooled by the Man v. Food mantra of quantity over quality. The freshness and selection of the fish at Arado is light years ahead of what you get at A-Won, and most other places I've tried in K-Town." – ipsedixit on finding the best hwe dup bap (Korean raw fish over rice and vegetables)
