Cajun
The Little Jewel of New Orleans, Los Angeles
New Orleans/Creole cuisine in LA. Had the shrimp Po’boy, Jambalaya, hush puppies, and crayfish empanadas. I even bought a two pack of their frozen house made boudin. In the US, there are only a couple
Korean
Hanchic, Los Angeles
Hanchic. I would characterize this place as modern Korean or Korean fusion. We had their interpretation of Kalbi Jjim. It had all the flavors and textures of tradition Kalbi Jjim but presented in a different way. It was my favorite dish. Check out that large beef rib bone. We also had ragu tteokbokki and the chamchi toast as starters. And with the one-in Kalbi Jjim, we had the bulgogi risotto. Everything was really good and had the familiar flavors. Also, they don’t have their liquor license yet, so it is byob. There is a liquor store nearby if you need to pick up some booze. . . . . . . .la
American
The Maybourne, Beverly Hills
Lunch at the Terrace at the Maybourne. Had to have my spicy Bloody Mary. Almost too spicy. We should a rotisserie chicken salad, and handmade corn agnolotti, and pan seared red snapper. Great views and service. . . . . .
American
Brunch at Sibling Rival
Brunch at Sibling Rival. Breakfast burrito and the puffed grain bowl. Nice and bright decor. Food was ok. Nothing special. Had the Sunday Bloody with mezcal. Was quite strong. I’d visit again and recommend. . . . . . .
Thai
Night + Market, Hollywood
Night+Market. Thai food in Hollywood. My first time here. I had heard about this place and had always wanted to try. Had the famous spicy chicken sandwich that was featured on YouTube. Also had the way too spicy and ass-fire papaya salad. And the rice noodle which I almost single handed finished since the papaya salad killed me. Luckily I had my drink, which I forgot the name, that helped numb everything down because of the spiciness. . . . . .
Mexican
Carnitas Michoacán, East Los Angeles
The final addition to the Chronicles of Carnitas of East Los Angeles - Carnitas Michoacán. I argue that the best Mexican food region in the US is right here in East Los Angeles/Boyle Heights. The long-standing community has great establishments that celebrate carnitas and culture. Carnitas Michoacán is a 24 hour restaurant that my friends and I used to frequent at the end of a fun night out. Close to the freeway and with a big menu, it is still a place I would stop by late at night. It is said that carnitas was originated in the state of Michoacán. . . . . . .
Mexican
Porky's Carnitas, East LA
The Chronicles of Carnitas continues at Porky’s Carnitas. Had to try a place with such a eponymous name. Though not a fan of offal and unfried pork skin - the mixto taco with everything was really good. The texture and moistness was there. While the regular shredded caritas was on the dry side. This revelation has caused me to rethink mixto tacos. . . . . .
Mexican
Los Cinco Puntos, Los Angeles
The next stop of the Chronicles of Carnitas of East Los Angeles is at Los Cinco Puntos, translated as the Five Points. This local and friendly favorite was highly recommended. I had the usual carnitas tacos and also had a carne asada taco as well. The torta was also carne asada. When I ordered the carne asada (beef) taco I asked the counter guy how he would add toppings. I almost regret it since it was so spicy hot! 🌶 🌶 🥵 the carnitas was good and even better with their hand made tortillas. Their tortillas were bread like and had a texture much different from other places. . . . . . .
Mexican
Carnitas El Momo, Los Angeles
The Chronicles of Carnitas continues with Carnitas El Momo. Probably the internet’s most well known Carnitas truck in Los Angeles. I dig the generous portions in the tacos. The torta was was also very good with the toasted bread. I will probably visit again soon. . . . . .
Mexican
The Little Jewel of New Orleans, Los Angeles
The Chronicles of Carnitas of East LA. Starting off with the Zamora Bros. Heard about these guys awhile ago. Had three tacos and torta. And also had a half pound of the chicharrones. The torta was excellent with the cheese. Next time I will have a torta with everything on it. Anyways, I think the Zamora Bros has the best chicharrones in town. . . . . . . . .eastla
Cantonese
Delicious Food Corner, Rosemead
The tea coffee with condensed milk at Monterey Parks Delicious Food Corner. This is tea and coffee not just tea not just coffee. It is a combo. I dig the details on the spoon. . . . . . .
