Chipotle - good food, poor service
not that it is an excuse, but you get what you pay for... although I have never had bad service at a Chipotle and the food is super tasty
Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale in Los Angeles
I had this beer at Cafe Metropol and really liked it. Was wondering if anyone knew of any sources to buy the beer in LA (Pasadena / Downtown / Silverlake area).
I have looked at BevMo and Mitsua so far to no luck
Thanks

is it still under the same management??? Unless they fire their whole staff (all of whom are EXTREMELY rude and terrible servers), this place will still be a terrible dining experience. It isnt the food...

no. I have been here a number of times and have never had a decent meal. They also dont have rubens, which I feel every diner should have

So I know that I am always posting about how much this place sucks, but I had another friend go here and he and his girlfriend had horrific service. Once again the wait staff was rude, didnt have half of the food on the menu on stock, and what they did have either came out wrong, cold, or just plain discusting.
As a resident of the Toy Loft building, I
A- hope that the owners of Royal Claytons are reading this and realize that they are operating a terrible resturant and do something about it
B - hope that someone looking to open a resturant in this area is reading this and sees that there is a need for good food in the area (as well as a potential location for their resturant)
Anyways, enough of my ranting.
DONT GO HERE
Who loves Trader Joes?
TJ produce sucks!!!!! I wish they would let me pick my individual pieces of fruit and veggies instead of selling me a pack in which half are rotten
Foods you love at Trader Joe's that got discontinued? [OLD]

Safe Drink List
I agree with the scotch / whiskey route. You can get it neat (how I like it), on the rocks, with a finger or two of water, or other ways. If you are going to start drinking scotch, try out a few; there are 100's out there to choose from. The Johnnie Walker / Glenfiddich / Bushmills (technically an Irish whiskey) are all safe bets to begain with. If you want to get a little more sophisticated, order a Highland Park, Lagavulin, or a Caol Ila.

I had another GREAT dinner here last night. This is my favorite dining place in Los Angeles. The food is ALWAYS 100% as is the service (which is something hard to find in LA).

Have you heard anything or are you speculating???? If not soon, this place will have to shut its doors when Church + State moves across the street

So....my girlfriend lives in the Toy Loft building so I have been spending a lot of meals at Royal Claytons. Last night was the final time I step foot in the place.
Was there a week ago and we had a server who was a compltete flake.
1st, we ordered a beer which came corked and specified on the lable which type of beer glass was to be used (a goblet, not a pint glass). Not only did she bring us a pint glass, but refused to uncork the beer. We ordered a pizza and a burger. When the pizza came, she set it down and walked away. She came back a minuate later and told us that it was for another table and that she needed to take it to that table. My girlfriend, who used to be a server at many of the Patina resturants, told her that she had licked her finger and touched some of the pizza (you arent supposed to serve food to a table which has been 1st given to someone else....)
We then asked for some balsamic vinegar. They brought us some which was rotten (had what appeared to be coagulated fat globules in it). It took us a while to finally get another bottle on vinegar.
Was there last night for a drink by myself. There were very few customers, so I thought that I would have decent service. Sat down at the bar and it took 10 minuates to get serverd (even though there were 4 bar tenders / servers just standing around). I finished my $9 Chimay (even though this wasnt my 1st choice; they were out of 3 other beers that I wanted to try). It took me another 20 minutates to be asked if I wanted another beer, even though there were still 4 bartenders / servers standing around, including one who was on his cel phone behind the bar.
Anyways, like I said, I am never stepping foot in here again. For the $$$, the service is HORRID. As soon and 'Church + State' opens across the street, this place will have to close its doors; no resturant can survive with service as bad as theirs. I spoke to the manager about the bad service last week, and will let him know about last nights experince, but I really should have to tell him every time I eat at his resturant how bad things are
Mozza's Pizza is NOT Pizza!
I agree...Mozza is over rated. Way too salty, too soggy, not that good

squash blossoms in Pasadena
the ones that I had at Mike and Annes were stuffed with goat cheese, battered, and fried like tempura. They were served with a red pepper sauce I believe...SO TASTY!
squash blossoms in Pasadena
I had stuffed squash blossoms at Mike and Anne's in South Pasadena for the first time this past weekend and am now intrigued with cooking with them. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Zankou is always good and easy...make sure you bring plenty of booze; you dont want to have to pay Bowl prices for it

I went to the Baliwood show at the bowl last year and sat next to a very friendly Indian family who was more than happy to share their wonderful homemade food with me
