Best L.A. area liquor prices?

Excellent wine prices can be had at Wine Expo in Santa Monica on Santa Monica Blvd. They always have great deals and it's run by great guys that really know their wine. Nothing pretentious about it, which I really like.

Best L.A. area liquor prices?

Costco has decent prices, but Smart and Final does not. Very consistently over-prices if you look. Also, they have stopped providing boxes for wine, so it's very hard to buy more than a couple bottles there. Very stupid move. Of course, I had to find that out with an entire cart full of wine that I gave up on because I couldn't get it to the car. The idiots there wanted to put each bottle in a separate plastic bag. I just walked out shaking my head and laughing at how silly that was.

Where do I buy mini burger buns?

You could bake them...

SINGING WAITERS?

THAT sounds markedly better than singing waiters.

Well done.

SINGING WAITERS?

I think I would rather wear no pants, plastic underwear, and soleless shoes at a construction site, than encounter a singing waiter..

Bistro 39 (Alhambra) now open

Any relation to Bistro 45 in Pasadena?

Dark, atmospheric, vintage hidden gems

How can you forget Guido's in West LA??

Near perfection.

Best lunch in Beverly Hills

I think we're gonna go with Michel Richard.

Thanks for that.

Best lunch in Beverly Hills

What's the best place for lunch in beverly hills. Not too pretentious, just really good food in a place that old friends can have a conversation.

Whatcha got?

Oh, It's on a Wednesday and a group of 4. Outside might be great.

DAMIANO'S PIZZA (Fairfax) is terrible!!

I just can't believe anyone went to Damiano's sober...
I think that sums it up just fine.

Knives?

Kida hard to beat metrokitchen.com for Global prices. Best I've ever seen. Even cooking.com has good prices. Certainly both of them beat the pants off of Surfas and Sur La Table.

what's the best lunch deal in town?

MMMMMMmmmmmm....... Taco Time. I've been waiting years for those to show up in LA.

Heaven.

Where can I find Haggis?

Does anyone actually serve Haggis in Los Angeles?

Is there a market that carries it?

Seriously...

Bobby Burns night is coming in January, and I wouldn't want to be ill prepared...

Ramen in Santa Monica

The last time I ate at Ramenya, there was a bug in my soup and a bug in my drink. Yep, both. It was rather disgusting & I haven't been back. It was a bummer because I had heard so many good things about the place.

Decent but quick lunch for 10 in Santa Monica?

We ended up at the Broadway Deli. Food was agreeable and the service was excellent. Nobody believed that the Border Grill would be fast enough. Next time...

Thanks for the suggestions.

Right you are...

No it doesn't have to be deli food, I'd hope it wasn't. They just happen to be very accommodating.

We'd be up for anything we could get in under an hour. Even if we have to order ahead.

Decent but quick lunch for 10 in Santa Monica?

We'll be on a tight schedule, but would like a nice lunch in the Santa Monica area. We may end up at the Broadway Deli, because they'll hold the table and do a nice job. Any other ideas? This is a weekday business lunch and we'll be in somewhat of a hurry.
