Galbi-n-Kimchi
In celebration of South Korea making it to the finals of the World Baseball Classic I thought I would finally write up about a new Korean food joint that just opened up on the outskirts of Hollywood. Galbi-n-Kimchi is a new fast casual Korean food joint in a somewhat drab mini-mall along Santa Monica Blvd. [...]

3. March 2009
Kogi isn’t the only Korean food truck in town. The Flying Hotteok serves the classic South Korean sweet treat from a parking lot mall in Korea Town. But I’m not here because I have a sweet tooth. I’m here for their potato wrapped hot dog on a stick. I’m not sure of the origin of [...]

28. October 2008
I’m a couple weeks late to the game on this one. But they do say, better late than never right? The night started when I met up with the OG Food Marathoner, prolific food writer and photographer extraordinaire Mattatouille (and his girl master Christine), and the talented culinary adventurer Food GPS.
Our first stop for this [...]

The Ripper, a Fab-ulous hot dog
17. September 2008
The end of Summer. The time of year were the days are getting shorter, the nights getting cooler. You start to look back and think to yourself, the one thing I didn’t have this summer was a deep fried hot dog. Thanks to Joe Fabrocini and his wife Susie Speck Mayor (and J Gold for [...]

27. July 2008
Maybe you’ve seen it. Driving up Western at 8th street, you get a whiff of burning pine wood, your eyes follow the billowing smoke over to a small beat up shack next to a decrepit car wash. Little do you know, the best Peruvian chicken in town is being roasted in a molten hot stove, [...]

9. June 2008
Lowenbrau Keller is now but a distant memory. Some of the kitsch remains, gargoyles, German beer kegs and a massive crystal chandelier are remnants of the past. But at the Medusa Lounge they cleaned up the claustrophobic decor and given it an ever so slight hipster makeover. On their happy hour Tuesday’s enjoy a sometimes [...]

11. May 2008
Traditional Best Barbeque Chicken Barbeque, or TBBC Barbeque, is a great Korean food addition to the hood. I didn’t know what to expect at first. The entrance is decorated with lavish flowers and ribbons of sorts. Maybe well wishers, as this new restaurant has only been open for a week.
After endless searching on the internet [...]
Taco Truck Night – El Taco Movil
2. May 2008
To celebrate Taco Truck Night I checked out El Taco Movil. They are usually parked at the intersection of 3rd and Normandie.
Their tacos were tasty. I got the carne asada and chorizo tacos. They didn’t have carnitas unfortunately. The carne asada was decent, average mostly. Adding some green and red hot sauce really kicked it [...]
Ten Raku – Koreatown
2. April 2008
This corner of 3rd has been 3 different places since I moved into the hood a couple of years ago. I was hoping the 3rd time would be a charm.
Ten Raku is supposedly a Japanese charcoal grilling place, or Yakinku dining. But there wasn’t any charcoal to be found, and everything about this restaurant seemed [...]
