Checked out this new joint in Little Tokyo for a late lunch/early dinner. Fat Spoon. It's right next to Daikokuya on First Street.

Beef Short Rib Curry w/ brown rice and a side of sauteed mushrooms.

^ Ah, brown rice.

Curry House has been offering that as well. :victory:

Went to my fave local sushi place and found out that the owner is retiring and will be selling his business to a new owner after 23+ years in the same place. :puppydog:

Not always on offer but since it has so much more fiber than white rice it keeps me fuller for far longer.

Wow, that's a long time. I hope it remains to your liking. Before I used to go to Sushi Gen whenever I wanted to eat sushi I would go to Hamakawa which was literally across the street. After the business was sold it was renamed Tenno Sushi and turned into one of those discount roll monstrosities to appeal to the type of fools that think California Rolls are the epitome of taste. After the business changed I never went to that spot again.

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. :sweat:

Rock 'n roll, fat roll, honor roll, bridge toll, rubber sole...the sh*t is wack!

L.A. needs another lame ass sushi joint like it needs a traffic jam.

Hope for the best, man!

I hate when that happens!! Did he say who he was selling his restaurant to? You just hope they know what they're doing.... or more likely you'll never go back.

LOL.

The business would go under in a month if I took over.

f*ck yeah...that is some frieky sh*t, man.

On a more pleasant note how 'bout some beef?

I ate at Langer's Deli a couple of weeks ago. Pastrami sandwich on rye, with swiss cheese and Russian dressing.

Note: I didn't take the particular pic above, but I did eat what's photographed.

^ Wow, that's not your ordinary pastrami: it's thickly sliced... And looks very appetizing. :victory:

An L.A. institution.

I saw this photo on the HuffPo website.

(American) Kobe beef Vietnamese pho.

Vietnam's national noodle bowl, pho, can be a little scrappy. Delicious, yes, but brisket, tripe or tendon is way more affordable than, say ... kobe beef -- but that's what Alhambra's Noodle Guy is putting in their pho. And San Gabriel Valley denizens are slurping it to death. Since its Jonathan Gold review in April, pho obsessives are traveling East for the bowl of pho, hovering at a price of $12, for all-too-tender American wagyu beef swimming in your broth. All of our Vietnamese grandmothers would have a cow.
