My few memories of my business trip to Florida was trying Bubbalou's Bodacious BBQ. And I really liked it. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place out here in LA that is similar and good. Slice Pork Sandwiches and Sliced Beef sandwiches was what I tried.

Hi...anyone have some food ideas for a masquerade party for around 30 people...we will have access to two 3 ovens and a stove.

I saw this coupon for kyochon chicken on groupon...$7 for $15...i haven't used groupon before but looks like a decent deal

Kyochon Chicken
3833 W 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90020

actually there's a new Seafood City on Roscoe close to the 405 in north hills in the SFV now

Nevermind....they took the banner off!!!! i'm guessing either they misprinted it or it's over...

drove by and the banner wasn't there anymore...

just drove by and saw that Hop Woo is having a 3.99 per CRAB promotion...however

it's only between 11am to 5pm

and the crab is less than 1.5 lbs

but i figure you can order more than one...

i think it includes sat and sun...but it didn't say on the sign

i'll probably try it during the weekend...hard to go during the week during those hours

ABC Seafood has been offering 2.99 per lb lobster special which is cheap!!!

ABC Seafood
708 New High St
Los Angeles, CA 90012

actually i remember there is one that is closer to ventura blvd...i asked my friend...and it's called Kusina Grill on Desoto and Ventura in the mini-mall that has the Target

there's a place called SuperMix....very small place but on desoto and parthenia...not sure if that's the place you're thinking of....

I was browsing on yelp and came across this link for AYCE crab

http://www.yelp.com/biz/picasso-crabb...

but when I read the review...it didn't sound like AYCE but more of like several different dishes of crab

Has anyone been to this place? and is it really AYCE?!!? How would that work with all those different dishes?

i like this place in pasadena on Glenarm and Marengo called Oba. So far I've gotten good service and I like several of their special rolls (the ones not on the menu but listed on a dry erase board by the sushi bar). I have a 2 year old, so i've only eaten at a table there...i haven't eaten at the sushi bar area yet

Thanks!!! i'll check out Galco and Gelson's (i live right next to a Gelsons)...and i see Galco has a cucumber soda that might be interesting

I was wondering if anyone knows of a store that carries odd sodas?...i see them online but unfortunately i wanted to bring them to an event this weekend.

yep...the couple of times I went, it was during lunch or really early dinner...i'd guess by regular dinner time they'd probably out

9.99 for a lobster...that is good and i like Zen Mei!

JR Seafood has had this special for a while, and they have deals for peking duck and lobster as well...can't beat the prices but the food is only ok...it was 7.99 for the crab but after eatting it...i realized that i would pay more for better tasting crab and peking duck...if i were craving crab (which i am) i woudn't go there...but if i just happened to be eatting there...i still order the crab and peking duck because is sooooo cheap

I know every so often various chinese restaurants will have a crab deal...like New Capital in Rowland Heights usually has a good crab deal...but was wondering if any of you out there has recently seen any other cheap crab deals?

i was walking around in the new WholeFoods Flagship store in Pasadena and noticed that they have their own Smoked Seafood section where they smoke the food themselves...you can probably call them to see what their sodium content is for their smoked salmon

sometimes restaurants offer a set menu which consists of 7 to 10 courses like for example http://www.hatfieldsrestaurant.com/menus.html

they offer a 7 course tasting menu for $79 a person

Providence offers a multi-course tasting menu at the chef's table

ritz carlton offers a 5 course tasting menu

http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Propert...

Anyone have suggestions for a place that has a good tasting menu that is close to Manhattan Beach...i'm thinking of gift for a friend and they live close to that area

Also...right next to BCD on Saticoy there was this tiny tiny store behind HSalt Fish and Chips...and all they sold was kim chee and such...not sure if it's still there...but if you're at BCD...you can just walk a couple of steps and check it out

18044 Saticoy St
Reseda, CA 91335

I've been going to New Manila Express in the San Fernando Valley...they serve sisig lechon...which i just can't get enough of, but i know i can't eat it too often as my cholesterol level will jump...you can always call ahead to see what they are serving and if you call early enough...you can even make requests...my coworker often calls to have them make bicol express

NEW MANILA EXPRESS
7560 Winnetka Avenue
Winnetka, California 91306
818-773-8882

Try Daglas on Vanowen and Winnetka in the San Fernando Valley...it's cheap and good...just make sure you're not having your cholesterol being checked the next day

I used to buy beef jerky in chinatown...i think the brand name was Jimmy's and it was imported from canada...and they used to sell it at alot of different stores in chinatown...but now i can't find it anywhere...it came in a small colorful box and it was thin and buttery in taste

Does anyone know where i can buy it??

I went to New Capital on Valley/Del Mar tonight...they didn't have the crab or regular shrimp deal...but they did have the 99 cent huge prawns deal if you order 28 dollars or more which was easy to do...but you can only get one pound for 99 cents...proba, ably because it was soooooooooooo crowded...food was good...ordered braised pork and taro clay pot which was really good and tried the walnut spare ribs (like walnut shrimp but with rib meat), beef with XO sauce, and a steam chicken...portions were pretty good sizes and fed 4 of us hungry guys...ended up costing 41 dollars...so it wasn't too bad....but really wanted the crab deal to be there..that what we all wanted..oh well...next time

yep...they will be closed for good as of tomorrow...i will definitely miss them and their curry!

i usually get the pork cutlet curry and i pay extra for spicy level 9...however...i heard that they will be closing soon because one of the owners or something is getting married and moving out of town...but if you do go and it's still open...they are taking sign ups for a cookbook that they might be putting out...

actually i think they'll be closing this saturday?? but not positive

i loved the gumbo at Les Sisters in Chatsworth...but the last several times i went it is not spicy anymore...still good but i miss the spicyness...i think not too many customers ordered it because it was too spicy so they toned it down...also it's an okra-less gumbo but filled with shrimp, sausage, fish, whole pieces of crab, chicken wings...kinda of a pain to eat with the bones and shells but its worth it...haven't found anything comprable yet but i haven't been to too many places that serve gumbo...i am tempted to try patti la belle's cookbook recipe though

i finally was able to go out to Belacan Grill today and tried the chilli crab (i had to drive out from pasadena and i have 8 month year old which makes it harder to go out to eat now)....it was pretty good but was hoping for it to be a bit more spicy but i guess i could've had the pepper crab...it was missing the guts of the crab though...but it would've been worse for my cholesterol levels if it included it....I enjoyed the place and i'll probably go back when i can find time and try other stuff on the menu!!!

Deep Dish...I've been to Uno's and BJ's but after reading the chicago pizza discussion that Dommy posted...i guess i wrongly stereotyped Chicago Style as all being deep dish/stuffed...so what i'm really craving is a good stuffed pizza...after reading the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-... , i realize that i have a lot to learn about chicago pizza types
