Feeling healthy and went to Veggie Grilll. Had the Santa Fe Crispy Chickin’ and a side of Mac and cheese. The sandwich was surprisingly good. The Mac and cheese was tasteless. Ugh. I was told if I eat meatless lunches I am less likely to fall asleep after lunch. Might try once a week . . . . . .
Smashed burgers at Pasadena’s Smosh Town. So chilly to be eating outside. But the burgers made it worth it. Nice taste of the pure burger and cheese. Whoever thought of the taste combination of beef with cheese is a genius. Fries were also pretty good. . . . . . .
Friday donuts with the team! Trejo’s donuts. . . . . . .mx
Tonkotsu ramen at King of Ramen. Pork and soft boiled egg was really good. One of the better ramen joints in SGV and Pasadena. But the chicken karage was not so good. . . . .
New Year’s Day brunch at Granville. Liked the Mac and cheese and the housemade potato chips . . . . .
Thirsty Pig cooking - three different dishes. Recently I bought a Le Creuset pot and I made Mac and cheese, mapo tofu, and curry chicken. All of them tasted great! . . . .
Got a second chance to have curry with katsu. This time delicatessen by Osawa did not disappoint. Curry was flavorful and the katsu was ideal. The seared cod and sukiyaki was also very good as well. We also had the chicken karage, which was gobbled up quite fast. Yum yum. Glad this place is not far from home. Thanks to for introducing this place to us . . . . . .
Double Cheese Smashed Burger from Burgers Never Say Die. Pretty solid burger with an interesting crunchy texture from the thin burger patties. I like it. But the burgers seem small in portion. I should have considered ordering two. Their price seems a bit high for a single order of their “regular” burger. Their fries are just ok - but generous in portion. This place is popular from youtubers. Would I go again? Yes. Do I recommend? Yes. Would I drive this far again just for it - maybe. . . . . .
