Pickling
Pickling! Pickled red onions and carrots & daikon radish. The pickled red onions needed to soak longer before putting on the carnitas but I couldn’t wait to try. Will try more later this week. Love the combination of carnitas and pickled red onions! Will do proper canning to preserve longer next time. . . . . .

Ike's Love & Sandwiches, Costa Mesa
Sandwiches from Lil Pickle. Had the Lil' Pickle Sub with Salami, Capicolla, Cheese with Oil and Italian Dressing. And buddy got the hot pastrami. The lil pickle sub is their most popular sandwich - I can see why. It is a solid sandwich with nice soft bread and good meats. But unfortunately I was craving more flavor - since I was chomping on a sour pickle with every bite of the sandwich. Maybe a little more salt or some spicy peppers were needed. Perhaps my friend was on target with the savory pastrami. Regardless I would try this place again to get a better gauge. . . . . .

Birria tacos, carne asada nachos, San Gabriel Valley
Birria tacos, carne asada nachos, and ceviche. Yum. The tacos had so much braised beef, but unfortunately was a little dry. Wish we had a dipping sauce. Luckily the hot sauce was available. The nachos were great but was too much. The ceviche was good but the fish had a slight smell. Perhaps that was normal. I wonder what kind of fish was in the ceviche. Regardless I would still return. This place has so many things I want to try. . . . .

Golden Road, Los Angeles
Burgers, beer, and the dodgers at Golden Road. Octoberfest at Golden Road. Got a cool dodger cup and octoberfest mug. Surprising the special octoberfest beer was really good. Also Golden Road has special outdoor seating that was perfect for our group. The pretzel was good with the mustard and cheese dipping sauces . . . .

Pikunico, Downtown LA
Chicken sando at pikunico. Yummy. One of the best if not the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Just enough spiciness and flavor. Good crunchy texture for mouth feel. The side salad was good too. I had the seaweed cucumber salad. All this for $15 for the dinela lunch deal. . . . . .
