When I mentioned "Tender Greens" to my friend a month ago, she didn't seem too interested. I know it's unbelievable but she suggested... Denny's for breakfast!!! I just went with the flow and ate a breakfast.

What kind of dressing comes with that salad?

Denny's over Tender Greens. Hell to the NO! :rofl: Maybe if you got mad drunk the night before and felt like some grease to soothe your innards.

The dressing comes with the Tuna Nicoise Salad is a Sherry Vinaigrette. It's really light. They throw some herbs in the salad too...like Chives and Dill.

Well if you're buddy isn't down for Tender Greens, find someone else to go with or go yourself and get it to go or whatever.

If I can't find somebody to eat with me somewhere I want to try or go to again...it's never stopped me.

The negitoro looked delicious as well as the others!

There was such a great variety in that package. Being it was only about 4 hours old, it must have been very good! I don't see that variety here (SoCal) for $10-$12.

I'll take my hubby with me to Tender Greens. The Sherry Vinaigrette sounds delicious, too. I prefer light dressings. :D

That's what I figured: something to enhance and not overpower the food. :victory:

Yeah. It's really light...it keeps the salad from being dry but you can taste the individual flavor components, as you allude. :)

A much simpler salad. Seared Albacore with Arugula & Tomatoes.

Stopped by Mitsuwa in Torrance today for a quick shopping trip. Lo and behold, unbeknownst to me, today begins the Japanese Gourmet Food Fair. I broke down and bought a box of takyoki. Best takoyaki I've had in L.A. since it's the real deal where they make it fresh in front of you.

Lucky, buddy. I'm sure it'll be much more crowded this weekend as ppl queue up for takoyaki and other snacks that are on offer.

You can go tomorrow and get some before the crowds descend on the place! :)

Score! I'm sure that stand will make a killing this weekend. Now I'm craving for some.

I totally agree. I'm sure for us Takoyama, oops I mean Takoyaki, starved people it will be a hit come Saturday when the throngs of humanity descend on the place.

Got my takoyaki today... Oishii desu...! :drooling:

Nice. :applaud: Glad you were able to get down there and get some. :woot:

My spinach salad with goat cheese & hazelnuts in a Cabernet Vinaigrette w/ a side of grilled tuna. It's delicious but I'd rather have the takoyaki :beaten:

Yup.... And a bunch of cute female Japanese nationals working the food fair. :)

That's what I call having your takoyaki and eating it, too. :mrgreen:

So with the octopus balls and the eye candy, you had a bit of savory and a bit of sweet. :P

For sure. :bonk:

Maybe I'll swing by there again tomorrow. :mrgreen:

I guess the fair doesn't continue into Memorial Day: I was hoping to buy some and take 'em over to my brother's house. :(

If I lived closer I would too.

Oh yeah? Well I went on a Thursday...so I was surprised to see the stalls open given it wasn't Friday yet.

Your next assignment is go eat at Ramen California one of these days.
