Woodinville Whiskey tasting with the Southern California Whiskey Club. Great bourbons and rye whiskeys. There was a Founders tasting that was amazing - real smooth. The rye was also really good. Their master distiller was mentored by Dave Pickerell who was the master distiller from Markers Mark. Good stuff. . . .
Tempura from at their latest location in Pasadena. Tempura with udon noodles, soba noodles, and their tempura sushi. People were lining up before they opened. Yummy! Had tempura at their South Bay location and this place does not disappointment either. Would gladly visit again, just hopefully without a line. . . .
Kimchi pancake, rice box, and skewers at Dan Sung Sa. And lots of Makgeolli. I like the Korean Pocha’s, since they’re a hole in the wall drinking joint. Cramped tables, dented drinking bowls, and long waits - give this place charm. Always an enjoyable night, maybe not memorable. Yet we always return. . . .
Seafood brunch at Crude e Nudo on Santa Monica Main Street. Cool little sidewalk cafe with fresh seafood. Had the roasted fish collars, chickpea toast, and tuna tartare toast. Everything was yummy. Would certainly visit again and would recommend. . . .
