Hidden Restaurant Fees Suck.
Food Review Friday update: Hidden fees are deceptive as hell and we should not tolerate them. SB 478 was passed banning them in California but Restaurant Owners love their hidden fees because it's pure profit. Now they're trying to get SB 1524 passed.
Moving forward I will try not to support such businesses that use hidden fees to profit, but if I somehow end up at one they will always suffer a downgrade in rating. If you don't support hidden fees let your representative know!

Food Review Friday 135: Maple Block
มุมมอง 2612 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Outside Grand Central Market in Los Angeles, this outdoor bar and restaurant serves up meats and meads in a chill setting. Tons of open seating, parking lot and interesting selections. American cuisine has a lot of external influences and maple block is no different. Fast service, good prices and good taste makes this a worthy trip if you're in the area! Verdict? That's Got Food (Good!) #foodre...
Food Review Friday 134: Luna Hall DC/Dumpling District
มุมมอง 4614 วันที่ผ่านมา
Thank you to Noah Mata @noahfmata for the recommendation! Washington DC has a strong Chinese population and place in history so whenever I can I like to stop in to grab some grub. This time I ended up in Luna Hall, an indoor food court with a bunch of wonderful little places and settled in in Dumpling District, because who doesn't love Xiao long bao (soup dumplings)? A good XLB will give you a ...
Food Review Friday 133: Angels Stadium Helmet Nachos
มุมมอง 7814 วันที่ผ่านมา
Sorry it's late! Food at sporting events tend to be overpriced but every stadium has that one (or more!) item that comes out to a pretty great deal. And in Anaheim, at Angels Stadium @angels this is it! A helmet that is big enough to actually wear stuffed with Tostitos chips, nacho cheese, beans, guac, pico de Gallo and delicious chicken for $23 at the time of this review is one of my favorite ...
Food Review Friday 132: Halaloglu
มุมมอง 25728 วันที่ผ่านมา
I love Mediterranean food and I'm happy to see so many places around. Halaloglu in Fountain Valley hawks Turkish street food and hits all the bases. Great portions, great service, great flavor and a reasonable price. For the most part, they have about 3 or 4 proteins and 3 or 4 based you can mix along with desserts from Turkiye. Verdict? That's Hot Food (Great!) #foodiefriday #foodreviewfriday ...
Food Review Friday 131: The Golden Bird
มุมมอง 207หลายเดือนก่อน
Urban fried chicken places hide the best stuff, so when I spotted this while hanging out in Gardena I had to check it out! True to fork there's some amazing fried chicken here, with a unique almost beer batter type breading. It was well burned, juicy and crispy but it's also an acquired taste as you lose the texture of the chicken skin which is almost sacrosanct when it comes to fried chicken. ...
Food Review Friday 130: Pho HP
มุมมอง 120หลายเดือนก่อน
Pho HP Huntington Beach has a banner outside their space saying they're the best Vietnamese food in town. and I can never resist testing claims like that. So of course, while I was visiting the area, I checked it out. And I was... pleasantly surprised! the portions are pretty good, the flavors are good, and the service was great. The short rib pho was recommended and did not disappoint. $15 for...
Food Review Friday 129: Two Saucy Broads
มุมมอง 84หลายเดือนก่อน
Pizza is one of those things that's hard to do wrong, but hard to do right. if any of the three major components are off you end up with a pie at best, a casserole at worst. So does Two Saucy Broads get the job done? Spoilers: they do. A great pizza overall with a crust that seriously holds up! Great flavor balance too. Verdict? That's Hot Food (Great!) #foodreviewfriday #foodiefriday #foodrevi...
Food Review Friday 128: Nanking Indo-Chinese
มุมมอง 202หลายเดือนก่อน
Fusion places are always a coin flip for me. Sometimes they're delicious and innovative, other times they throw in soy sauce and call it fusion Chinese. India and China are map adjacent so of course there's bound to be some crossover, so I got excited to try Nanking in Artesia, especially when they claimed to serve both Indian and Chinese food. I should have listened to my instincts when I walk...
Food Review Friday 127: Sunny's Sushi Hut
มุมมอง 882 หลายเดือนก่อน
I love Japanese food and sushi, and I love holes in the wall, and I love restaurants with quirky names, so Sunny's Sushi Hut in North Hollywood hit all those spots, and the food really hit the spot too! Great prices and service as well as a wide selection of American Japanese food staples makes this a great place to grab some food to go (or even to dije in)! Verdict? That's Hot Food (Great!) #f...
Food Review Friday 126: Larb Thai
มุมมอง 152 หลายเดือนก่อน
Thai Food is now a mainstream cuisine and one of my personal favorite dishes is boat noodles, a rich, dark and hearty soup with beef or pork. so when a Thai friend whose culinary expertise (and appetite!) I trust recommended checking out Larb in El Cerrito, California, I had to go. and spoilers? totally worth it. amazing flavor and great portion and value make Larb a great destination not just ...
