Late night munchies in Alhambra. Glad they’re open late. Also glad they have skewers and ramen. . . . . . . .restaurant.gr
Birria Tacos! . . . .
Hookahs and drinks at Olive & Grill. Haven’t smoked a hookah in years. Need to find my old hookah. Cool place with live music. . . . . .
Just some tacos and queso. And of course some drinks. Really can’t go wrong with tacos. . . . . . .
Shabu Shabu at Kagaya. Wagyu Beef set course at arguably the best Shabu Shabu restaurant in LA. Glad to have had it before the owner retires. But I understand the new owners are taking over right after. . . . . .
Beignets. Similar to the ones from Cafe Du Monde. Their fluffy donut desserts that go great with coffee or by itself. . . . . .
Prime Rib at the Derby. The Derby is the oldest and arguably the best restaurant in Arcadia. Used to be owned by George Woolf, who also rode the famous race horse - Seabiscuit. The derby was originally located on the corner of Foothill and Santa Anita. Along with the prime rib, we had cheese bread, creamed spinach, potatoes romanoff, calamari, and crab cake. We couldn’t finish our desserts. This year, the Derby is celebrating their 100th year. . . . . . .
Enjoying a day at the park. Watching a preseason game at Angel Stadium - Dodgers vs the Angels. Good times. . . . . .
Smoked meats at Wholly Smokes. Brisket, pork ribs, Tri tip, and a bunch of sides. I liked the Cajun rice, fatty beef, and the spicy bbq sauce. Cool venue with a large draft beer selection. Friendly owners and nice neighborhood vibe. . . . . . .
Santa Anita BBQ Championship at the Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia. Got to try a bunch of different bbq including, Pulled Pork Nachos, BBQ chicken, BBQ pork tenderloin, BBQ pulled pork tacos, BBQ pork ribs, BBQ beef tri tips and more. Yummy. KCBS - Kansas City Barbeque Soceity was on hand to judge 30+ BBQ entrants. You could see their trailers parked outside cooking and smoking. Also, I got to meet a BBQ legend - Harry Soo! Luckily we got there early to avoid the crowds and long lines. . . . . . . . .
