They've had one of these mega Whole Foods in El Segundo for like 6mo now, get with the program! ;) j/k
If this identical to the one down here in South Bay though (and sounds like it is) they are unbelievable. Hands down the most fun grocery store ever.

I dont know how formal/fancy you want things... but bang for your buck and fun C&O's Trattoria in Venice Beach. Really good food, excellent value, fun atmosphere. There's even a couple of Martinni bars and dive bars on the same block so you have your options of how people want to get crazy afterwards. Good luck.

I know its been covered, but I'd walk over my mother for a Godmother with fresh bread from Bay Cities. :)

tough one...

1) I go back and forth between CJ's criss cut fries and Jack in the Box's curly fries.
