the banana leaf is my fav. I always get the tuna sambal. but most other things are good too.

great apple fritters. I second that. crispy and greasy. not doughy.

I am very fond of Jamaca's Cakes on Pico near barrington. Jamaca is creative and makes tasty treats. wouldn't call it traditional, but not hipster cupcakes either.

looking for peach cobbler. maybe apple would be ok. who's got a favorite?

my fav bbq sauce is silver palette maple bbq. now I can't find it. fear the company is out of business. anyone see silver palette dressings anywhere?

has anyone tried the chocolate cake at jamaica's cakes on pico in west LA? I've had a lot of her other treats and think she's great.

I love blueberry ice c ream and coconut ice cream. those flavors work in the ice c ream format. still trying to make chocolate work. I love everything chocolate, but I'm not that happy with that flavor yet.

first, what kind of fish should I use? planning to marinade and bbq.
any other ideas? recipes? seasoning?
want to hunt down some fresh masa for the tortillas.

I'm midtown. miracle mile.

I'll cook or bbq something and go pick up side dishes to round out the meal without having to work too much. what are y our favorites?
I like the red beans and rice at popeyes
I like the smoky black beans at pollo loco

the banana leaf in the farmers market is singaorease, but has many dishes that are indonesian. and great food over all.

dinah's is a good idea. I don't remember the senior menu, but we'll try that.

the girlfriend is turning 55 and wants to go out and order from the senior (over 55) menu. any recs?

I know noodle planet can be gross sometimes, but I had their version of drunken noodles with beef, and the way they prepared the beef was so much more tender and flavorful than all the thai places I've ordered the same dish. what do you think they do to it? has anyone else noticed this?

don't know what kind of masa they use, but pocito mas makes fresh tortillas.

I always eat at the banana leaf. tuna sambal or beef rendang. but there are other good things too.

I heard the new pizza place at highland and melrose is nancy silverton's new place. anyone know? if so, I need to try it. anyone already try it?

souds good. especially the bourbon part. but I do love maple.

looking for a good recipe. what is in that filling? I'm interested in using maple syrup instead of corn syrup. maybe w/ chocolate?

so I really like the green apple flavor of jones soda, but I'm having a hard time finding it. gelson's used to carry, but they stopped. anyone spot a source?

I love the pollo negro. but I like it with shrimp. I think they make it pretty good at cha cha cha.
