Those mini bowls look pretty big! The rosemary kasha bread looks so tasty! :jumpie:

They aren't so big in reality. I just got in really close with my camera so it's hard to keep perspective. But they are big on flavor though. :)

Yes, the bread is remarkably good. It is served hot so you smell that fragrant aroma of rosemary as you take your first bite. Delicious.

The map I checked showed that Pennsylvania runs north and south like Crenshaw. Isn't the name of the okonomiyaki restaurant called Gaja?

Here's the link to the Yelp page for Gaja with a map:

I've been there...in fact it's the only okonomiyaki place I've been to, outside of Osaka. ;)

What kind of camera do you use to take such clear pics?

Went to the New Tender Greens on Sunset in Hollywood...beats trekking out to Culver City which is the original location...and much further for me :)

Roasted vegetable soup with smoky pepper and lime creme fraiche

I use the 5 megapixel camera on my Nokia N95. Nothing fancy, but it does the job. :)

The salad pic looks like I could just take a stab at it with my fork! Both the soup and salad look delicious.

:hehe: Since you mentioned you have buddies in Culver City put this place on your list...the Culver City location of Tender Greens is located in downtown on 9523 Culver Blvd. Bon appetit!

I'm gonna go whole hog: a 24MP dSLR with close-up lenses and a tripod... It'll be one big production. :hehe:

:rofl: Imagine if I brought out that gear just to take a picture of a salad...that would be comic gold for everyone in the restaurant watching me...I could even sport a French Beret and mock turtle neck to get all Sprockets and fit the part.
