It’s nice to walk into a restaurant and be pleasantly surprised. As we parked at the Pancake House, I envisioned an older, kinda rundown spot. What we walked into us nothing like that. The inside, was packed with people, mouths full, talking, smiling, and enjoying themselves. The aroma of so many meals, but nothing overpowering. So, now I’ll cut to the chase. Ordered Western Omeltte (ham, 3 cheeses, red and green peppers) and a side

Happy Diner , San Pedro
You know those places you walk into and may not be all thaaaat hungry. Until you see the food. Then you want everything on the menu. Service is good. Friendly, smiling, servers. Customers appear content. Full and smiling. Ordered the burger patty and eggs, my mister ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich. Prices are reasonable. The food is tasty and filling. Burger patty was cooked perfectly, the potatoes crisp and flavorful. The fried chicken sandwich
Stuffing ourselves at Sizzler in Torrance
You drive by 5 times a week, mention it maybe once every month, trying to remember the last time you went. And it’s that one time you’re driving by and randomly get the urge and shout out..”Sizzzler”??? It’s familiar, it’s homey, it’s not too spicy or too bland. It brings back memories…and stories. Today it’s a salad bar lunch and cheese bread! (Remember the cheese bread)? Our first round included alittle spaghetti with meatballs, carnitas,
Hamburger Mary’s
Melissa kicks some ass. Taking care of us, making sure our drinks never get low and looking cute as hell in the process.
BJ’s, Culver City
Happy hour, is always a minor treat. (Well, more major than minor) BJ’s today. Wings, a pitcher of hef, and an LA Water ( I think we need an la water-Rama contest…no one gets it quite right .. And this la water has a strong 9). Ashley, who within 10 short minutes has become our favorite waitress of the week. She’s smiling, attentive, and quickly changed my man’s poking stool, with another. Thanks Ashley! So
Spires Coffee Shop , Wilmington, CA
Live blogging this morning from a random stop for breakfast. And the first entry into our Pastrami-Rama. (It appears to be a dark horse, but who knows). Spires, on the corner of 223rd and Wilmington, has a small but seemingly regular crowd this morning. Our hostess Lucy sat us almost immediately, with just enough of a smile to make her seem friendly. I ordered the Pastrami Melt (pastrami-rama entry #1). My partner and the keeper
El Torito, Redondo Beach for brunch
Well, Sunday brunch is always fun. Especially a brunch with bottomless mimosas. I’ll start with the location….Redondo Beach Pier. We asked for a window booth and they sat us with a smile.
Ciao, Newport Beach, Balboa Island
So, Ciao on Balboa in Newport is our stop. We started with calamari. (Yes CALAMARI) and an amazing Malbec…Diseno). Rosario, our waitress/bartender/somaliiar recommended the Malbec. And glad she did. She’s been beyond friendly and beyond helpful. And we are rooting for her to win their contest!! We ordered New York Pizza with Pepperoni and spaghetti and meatballs. My old stand by
Hooters, Long Beach
My meals at Hooters are filled with irony and anger Drinks – thumbs up Waitress – thumbs up Drinks – thumbs up Thanks. It’s been fun
Hof’s Hut , Torrance
Picture the most amazing buffalo chicken sandwich. Now picture it in slider form. Now picture chicken fried steak, eggs, and home fries….made almost to perfection. This is Hof’s Hut. Been here before a couple times, and was mildly impressed. But this time made up for it.
