Chipotle.....

Chipotle.....
You're in control of your own fate at Chipotle. Choose between: Burrito, Soft Tacos, Crispy Tacos, even a Quesadilla....then pick out your "style" of meat and top with what you think is necessary...all as you patiently wait to devour it. Chipotle is one of, if not the fastest growing Fast Casual Food Concepts in the USA.....good thing they fixed their almost unediable soggy chips ; ) If you haven't tried it already come out of your cave a little more often.

Gamagol Side Dishes... Panchan


Sides dishes galore....



Favorite side dish....hints of wasabi



Bim bim bop.... super hot stone bowl, made the rice a little toooo crunchy





Step 1: Add lots of kochuchan Step 2: Mix Step 3: Mix Step 4: Keep mixing Step 5: Enjoy





BBQ Chicken, tasty but could have had a nice little sauce on top or maybe as a side.




Los Angeles Farmer's Market aka The Grove

The Los Angeles Farmer's Market has a been around as long as....well basically since LA has been around. It has a loooooon storied past and is a great place just walk around and really enjoy yourself.

Check out a few of this eating places: Try out Singapore's Banana Leaf for a twist on the average Chinese or Thai food. Grab a Cornbeef Sandwich at LA own Magee's Kitchen or swing by The Gumbo Pot for some Cajun style cooking. Try our Pampas Grill for some Brazilian style BBQ served by the lb#




Chocolate Covered Strawberries...yum! They are quite expensive so you might want to try make a few at home.


Produce, produce, produce....


Chocolate heaven....with some Caramel Corn to top it off with

Enterprise Fish Co


Blackened Ahi Tuna.....a staple in the industry.


Bone in New York Steak, tasty but could have been aged a little more...think that's why they are Enterprise FISH Co not Enterprise STEAK Co.



Australian Lobster Tail....big, sweet and straight forward.



Jumbalaya....spicy, flavorful & off the beaten path.



EFC straw"Berries".... tasty little guys. Basically a churro battered strawberries sitting in a pool of Creme Anglaise & Chocolate Sauce.


Ice Cream Mud Pie, classic, rustic, big portion and satifying.

'Wichcraft


'Wichcraft in San Francisco, Union Square. Didn't get a chance to try lunch but we woke up early just to grab breakfast here. Did it live up to the hype???...yes it did, the Ham, Avo & butter sandwich on a baguette was pefectly executed and the Onion Fritatta was quite tasty. Potato & White Cheddar Cheese soup was silky smooth, flavorful and not too heavy and with the a hint of Parsley Oil....yum.




Of course for dessert they have ice cream 'wiches, which are made from their homemade ice cream and homemade cookies. Cinnamon ice cream with graham cracker cookie and a chocolate coookie with vanilla ice cream....the graham with cinnamon with cinnamon ice cream might have been a bit much but was satisfying but the chocolate cookie tasted strangely familiar too an Oreo cookie..... Overall one of the best "hip" sandwich places I've been and a very reasonable price point.

Sohoju "Upscale/Trendy Korean"


Playing off the NYC neighborhood name SoHo & combining it with the ever popular Korean potato & grain based "liquor" Soju....Soju had recently gained popularity because of it's versatility being a low percentage alcohol & techinically classified as a wine, hence the ability to serve with only a Beer & Wine license. It is also easily subsituted for Vodka or other clear based liquors in most mixed drinks.


The basis to an upscale Bim Bim Bop. Spinach, Bean Spourts, Carrots, Mushrooms, Radish & Cucumbers. This was extremely fresh but not as tasty as many other more traditional Korean places.



BBQ chicken with Kochuchan dipping sauce with fresh veggie sides & an interesting "healthy" twist of green tea rice.

The entire "set" meal that they offer during lunch at Sohoju. Sohoju is located in LA J-Town just off of 1st street....not the cheapest Korean food but worth a try.
