Since I skipped dinner yesterday I had a nice unhealthy breakfast at Langer's Delicatessen this morning.

#44 Hot pastrami, Sauerkraut, and Nippy Cheese on grilled rye

Pastrami for breakfast? :beaten:

HAHA. I know, huh? :beaten: The thing about Langer's which I discovered by experience is if you attempt to go there at a typical lazy brunch type hour on Saturday like early afternoon, the line is out the door! Since I woke up early and hungry I figured I'd make a trip down there before the throngs of people showed up. In any event, the sandwich isn't what you'd call light so I eat half for breakfast and had the other half for lunch.

Guess it's gonna take some time to get used to the new Iron Chef's. When I saw Kenichi there, I thought he was going to take them on. I think it would be fun if the old Iron Chef's take on the new ones...

Tamaki was ok. Big shoes to fill....

Uchida Yuki looked mighty nice in this episode... :mrgreen:

Threw down for a sushi omakase at Sasabune the other day. Sushi flood!

And as I always have to explain to people that have never had it, "Shaved Ice is NOT a snowcone!!" :beatyou:

Ice is not snow so how can they be the same. :headscratch:.
Different machines, different product. Of course they taste nothing alike either. :hehe:

This place is well regarded for its fresh fish. It has no ambiance to speak of it, but the fish is good and the chefs are convivial. Yes my foodie friend, I was certainly full!

The omakase didn't come with Uni & Ikura which, as you can see, I ordered because they are among my favorite.

^ Haven't had sushi in a while, since my mom and pop place changed owners... Going through withdrawal. :sweat:

I know, man. It's a bit sad when you have a spot that you enjoy and it disappears. I'm thinking you must have some choices left in your neck of the woods...it's just a matter of finding one that suits you. :)

Is this restaurant on Wilshire in W.L.A.? I think I'll only be able to take one son at a time.... not all 3 in one visit. :beaten: They love nigiri zushi and normally just eat sushi at buffets. :shamefulcry:
