Office Lunch for 25-Fairfax area
Need catering options for holiday lunch in the Fairfax area/West Hollywood. Nothing too ethnic for the picky eaters. In the past we've done Maggiano's and Woodranch. Delivery would be great, but can pick-up if we have to. Would like to stay at or under $25 per person for food only. Thanks.
Looking for southern style chicken fingers (the kind they serve with Texas toast and special sauce)
There's a chicken place at the Westside Pavilion food court called Chicken Now. They have chicken fingers that they serve with something called "Grandma's Sauce." The chicken is pretty tasty but the Texas toast is just soggy, greasy white bread.
Hamanako Broiled Eel
I've searched every Japanese market (Marukai, Nijiya, Mitsuwa) in the Southern California area for cans of Hamanako Broiled Eel. I wanted to share the joys of unagi donburi with my co-workers but can't find them anywhere. Does anybody know where I can find them or know why there's such a shortage? Thanks!
Dinner for 15 in Las Vegas
Help me avoid going to Lawry's for dinner in Las Vegas. I need a place that will accommodate a group of 15, not necessarily picky eaters. Ideally in the $40-50 per person price range not including drinks. Downtown/Strip areas preferred. Thanks!
Holiday Lunch Main Dish
Due to the economy, we are scaling back on our holiday lunch at work. I'm responsible for ordering the main dishes (for 25 people), and the rest (apps, salads etc) will be potluck. I'm leaning towards 2-3 choices of meat/chicken for the main. We're located mid-city. Any suggestions?
Mid City Restaurant for Senior Citizens
My mom is a "young" 82 and likes to go out to eat. Unfortunately she can't eat highly seasoned (salt and spicy) foods. Any suggestions on restaurants that might fit the bill? She lives in the mid-city, but since I'm driving we can go from the Westside to Downtown very easily. Price range is open from $ to $$$. Thanks.
ISO: Carne Asada for party
We're having a taco party for 25 at work and I'm in charge of the meat. Any suggestions on where I can get tasty, already cooked carne asada, carnitas and/or chicken for a large group? I'm in the Fairfax area, but will travel within reason. Thanks.
ISO: Carne Asada for large group
We're having a taco party for 25 at work and I'm in charge of the meat. Any suggestions on where I can get large quantities of tasty, already cooked carne asada, carnitas and chicken? I'm in the Fairfax area, but will travel within reason.
Ideas for Family Dinner
Sorry, I sent this before I finished the message. We normally order Chinese for our Sunday family dinner. This week, I'd like to cook. I have no oven, and my picker eaters can't/won't eat dairy, onions, mushrooms or carrots. I love to make short ribs, but the spring weather just doesn't feel right. Does anybody have any suggestions?
L.A. Butcher that has Oxtails
I'd like to try to make oxtail stew, but can't seem to find them anywhere. Any suggestions on a butcher in Mid-City/Westside Los Angeles that sells oxtails? Thanks.
Chips, Guac and Margaritas in Las Vegas
We're heading to Las Vegas this weekend and staying at the Venetian. Any suggestions within walking distance that has good chips, guacamole and margaritas. Good food would be a plus, but the guac and margaritas are the most important. Thanks!
