The Honor Bar, Beverly Hills

Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich. Just incredible. Yes, $11. No matter. I’d go down on a leprechaun to make the money. In and of itself a full meal, with cole slaw piled on. I recommend easy on the mayo, and light on the cheese. Scraped those off this today, and will go that way next time. Just unreal tasting though. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

Burger @ The Golden State, Los Angeles

Excellent burger, one of my 5 faves in LA. This is a little 10-table joint where you order at the counter, collect your own utensils and condiments, then sit and wait with a number. It’s a little pricey for what is essentially a counter joint, but the burger was so good I can forget the money.

I took on the standard burger, which was beef, cheddar, arugula, aioli and ketchup (I subtracted the bacon). The bun was glazed and the whole thing was easy to handle – didn’t fall apart. Flavor combinations were great, especially with the slight bite of arugula. I had a persian cucumber side, which was well-dressed and tasty. I probably wouldn’t order the combo again as it comes with arugula, and there’s only so much greenery one man can take.

I’ll be back.

Currywurst Invades LA?

It seemed inevitable. Is this LA’s new fast food curiosity? Probably. As seen at Fairfax, between Beverly and Melrose.

Have You Ever Seen Something So Perfect?

Not all tapas is created equally.  Taken and eaten in Girona, Spain.

My Affinity for Condiments

I wrote this piece about my Condiment Love and was surprised at just how many people read it (9,000 according to Google!?).  I discovered a couple here that I didn’t know and plan to get my hands on some recipes to try creations at home.
