Din Tai Fung is a world renown dumpling restaurant, given a Michelin star in 2010. Some people rave about it, and some people think it’s pretentious and overpriced. I have tried 3 of their Southern California locations and have noticed that there is a slight difference between the […]
Earlier this month I posted that Gringo Bandito hot sauce partnered with Slidebar in Fullerton to create the Cali Bandito Taco. The taco is essentially a deconstructed take on the California burrito and made with house made tortillas, topped with Gringo Bandito red marinated carne asada, french fries, cheddar […]
I’m always looking out for Taco Tuesday specials, and never knew that Tilted Kilt had one. As we were leaving Tilted Kilt after a Ducks watch party, I spied the advertisement. So, last Tuesday, Karen and I decided to check out their Taco Tuesday (which also landed during […]
Food trumps service here. This could have been a great review if only the hostess wasn’t such a dimbulb. We made reservations at 5:00 on a Friday to celebrate my BFF’s son’s high school graduation. We asked to be seated in the left side of the restaurant, where […]
Gringo Bandito hot sauce has partnered with Slidebar in Fullerton to create the Cali Bandito Taco. The taco is essentially a deconstructed take on the California burrito and made with house made tortillas, topped with Gringo Bandito red marinated carne asada, french fries, cheddar cheese, sour cream and […]
The Anaheim Ducks lost game 5 at the Honda Center, going into Nashville for game 6 in a “must win” or die result. The Ducks played hard, and even came back with a 2 goal deficit to tie the game. Unfortunately goalie Bernier wasn’t on his game, and allowed […]
The Ducks lost the first game, but won the second game in Anaheim. The series moves to Nashville, where games 3 and 4 will be played. On Tuesday, the Ducks scored first, but then played poorly in the 3rd period, eventually losing to Nashville, giving the Predators a 2-1 […]
Yoshiharu Ramen is located in the still being developed mall called “The Source”, located off Beach Blvd. and Orangethorpe, right off the 91 freeway (going opposite direction of Knott’s Berry Farm). There’s a parking structure off Beach, which can be tricky to find if you’re not looking for the […]
Ask someone where to go for German food in Southern California and people would say Old World in Huntington Beach, Alpine Village in Torrance, Matterns in Orange, or Jägerhaus in Anaheim. One hidden gem can be found in La Habra, off Imperial Blvd. and Beach Blvd., located in […]
The Ducks beat Edmonton last Wednesday to continue onto the Western Conference Finals; The Ducks had less than 48 hours to savor the victory before having to face their next rival, the Nashville Predators. For this round, all fans in attendance received a Blinky bracelet instead of the […]
I was driving through Buena Park and stumbled on Aji Limon. Located near Lincoln and Knott, in the corner of the Big 5 parking lot is this simple restaurant. The menu had your typical Peruvian items, and they even notated what is Chinese inspired and what is Japanese inspired, […]
From their press release: Churned Creamery is the first North American ice cream concept to use state of the art churning equipment, allowing staff to create and serve freshly made ice cream at the same time. Created in small batches, Churned only uses fresh milk, cream, fruit and […]
On Sunday, the Anaheim Ducks went into Edmonton trying to close out the series. Instead of winning game 6, they got embarrassed with a 7-1 loss, forcing a game 7 to determine which team would go to the next round. In the past, the Ducks had the jinx […]
The month of May is a busy time for me. It’s not just Mother’s day but my mother’s birthday, my sister’s birthday, my brother in law’s birthday (well, April, but we squish his into May) and my sister and brother in law’s anniversary. Whew! We decided to […]
Help, I need to report a homicide because the Anaheim Ducks got murdered! The Anaheim Ducks came back in game 5 by scoring three unanswered goals, with less than four minutes left of the game. They could have closed the series by winning game 6 in Edmonton. Instead […]
The Anaheim Ducks won both games in this series on the road in Edmonton, and a win at home in game 5 would really help. Game 5 also fell on May 5th, Cinco de Mayo, so at the team store I picked up a hockey version of the […]
This little place is located across the street from the Central Courthouse from 6:30 am to 3:00 pm. It’s a grab and go kind of place, with a simple menu for sandwiches, pizza, and even a burger. Think of it as a convenience store with a grill. […]
