Good catch.

Isn't there a rule against posting delicious food photos as dinner time is approaching? :P I've only dined there twice and I can see I missed something good.

Actually, up the block from Malbec is Cafe Verde which is not bad at all.

Did La Couronne ever resort to burgers? Probably not. But I take your point. It did not get the support it needed to remain open.

The Peninsula used to have a good brunch. Haven't been in years. I saw Ashley Judd there one time.

East: Rivera, Edison. West: Hungry Cat, Son of A Gun.

I hope those dozen or more people are posting here.

Do you ever eat at home?

You are a practical man. Thank you.

Thanks. Which branch of Seafood Village do you favor?

Which raises the question: how do you eat so much and stay so thin?

Various Farmer's Markets around town generally have some vendor with Po Boys. FWIW, Stevie's Creole Cafe is owned or partly owned by Bobby Brown.

Had a nice dinner last night at Akbar. Good food (and they are serious about the chili meter), just expensive for Indian.

Do you buy the XO sauce?

Not really, but it fits all the other criteria.

Maybe Real Food Daily in Pasadena.

I wonder what Burger Boy has to say about this.

Depending on your taste, you may want to add avocado for $1. And the fries are pretty good.

I lay no claim to having tasted all the veggie burgers around, but I think of ones that I have had the best may have been at The Habit.

Speaking of different platforms, lately I'm liking burgers from The Habit. And their fries are superior to InO's.

Drago Centro.

Agreed. Conceptually McDonald's could make a good burger, but it seems the company has made an economic/marketing decision to make as bland a burger as possible. You can regularly get InO burgers that are not bland.

Tarantino's will definitely survive. Luggage Room if you drive fast.

Kind of a tough one. Do you really try to find the coolest spot? Or do you try to find a compromise of decent food, possible cool people sighting?

I guess I'd go with Catalina Coffee & Cookie for a light breakfast and Ristorante Villa Portofino for dinner.

:D

Sounds like an R.I.P.

You don't go to Catalina for the food, but there's an OK Mexican place whose name escapes me. That said, it's a nice place to visit for a day or two. And Joe's has decent burgers.

Yes, I can't see any place you want to go cordoning off that kind of space on a Saturday night. I guess maybe you could get the back area at Mijares. Maybe. But you need to drink a lot. And reserve.

Maybe AKA Bistro but you'd have to reserve in advance.
