kiss from a rose on the grave

Hey,

Dinner with Becky at Desert Rose. Nice outdoor area makes it look prime for Brunch but we sat indoors cause of the cold.

We did the Blue Crab Cakes, bowls of the Lobster Bisque and the Roasted Eggplant Soup to start and then moved to a pair of Salads (the Greek and House). For a light meal, the bill sure did climb fast. Everything was tasty but nothing special. They do offer a large Wine menu and a full bar.

I'll try this place again for some weekend Breakfast and maybe that will change things.

My main beef with this place is that big 'artistic' rose sculpture thing out front. It looks terrible. I hate it. The more I talk about it, the more angry I get.

Alright, I need to leave and calm down.

romance

Hey,

Becky and I recently celebrated our 3 year anniversary at Cliff's Edge. This Silverlake location has a great patio/courtyard that just screams "sexy anniversary dinner".

We started with drinks and Steamed Mussels. Next course, Becky had the Filet Mignon while I enjoyed the Barramundi. It ended with a Pear and Apple Cobbler. And you better believe that Cobbler had Ice Cream on it. Cause that's how we do.

Everything was sublime. Honestly, a top 5 eating experience since moving west. You don't have to be celebrating to enjoy this place, but it sure does help.

never again

Hey,

It's been a long time coming, but fuck the Brite Spot. It used to be a decent neighborhood joint that was open late and had quality food. But since I arrived 3 years ago, this place has steadily gone down hill.

1. The menu has been cut in half.

2. Most items are $2-$4 over priced.

3. The service is inconsistent.

4. Hours keep changing.

5. And most importantly, I just ate there and it sucked.

If you need Diner head to Millie's. And for late night, try Fred 62 or Swingers.

Don't turn around

real quick

Hey,

I know this is a food blog, so I'll try to relate it.

Avatar is sweet and haters can go EAT shit.

well do ya?

Hey,

Pure Luck for lunch yesterday. God Damn, it was tasty. We ordered nearly everything and it was all great. The only problem with going to a place like Pure Luck is that it makes other Veggie spots look like lazy assholes. Folks spend so much effort trying to make Soy taste like Meat that they forget about other options.

Let me introduce Jack Fruit. This super Wizard food has an amazing texture and flavor that is unlike anything on the Veg market.

I'll be back soon

trashed

Hey,

Shot of Patron Silver. More Pizza. Shot of Patron Silver. another Mushroom Cap. Ice Water. Jack and Coke. Shot of Patron Silver. Amstel Light.

Then I took a cab home without saying good bye to anyone.

Toasted

new hotness

Hey,

Stop in to Echo Park's Fix and get yourself a Honey Bear. A perfect twist on the Latte that incorporates Honey and Cinnamon. The sweet harvest flavors will keep you warm on these gray Los Angeles mornings.

With a friendly staff that definitely knows their beans, Fix is among the area's best. But don't get too friendly with ladies behind the counter, because I'm dating some of them.

No touching
