Hong and Rice Cake3: hi, read your dm tweets and go to Islands restaurant on Sunday. Do something different. Just a suggestion. Go 49ers!
-pic from Islands Restaurant FB pg and yeah…even friends and “friends” don’t hold back with their opinions if you disagree with them(and i’m/you’re not being nasty about it) and seem impatient where they’re in a flurry to express their irate thoughts by sending it to me(you) by e-mail or post it publicly to their pesonal site or your personal site  it’s so ugly, unbecoming and downright rude and unfortunately that type of behavior is so common and most of all acceptable

Mike V: Here’s my suggestion where to take your foodie cousin this weekend and that would be Disneyland. I’m serious.   from OC Weekly, “Good Eats @ Disneyland” http://www.ocweekly.com/slideshow/good-eats-disneyland-38569332/   http://www.ocweekly.com/slideshow/good-eats-disneyland-38569332/#8   Flickr User Amanda Beth Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially when your waffles come in the shape of Mickey Mouse.

Marisa Pl - one day or night we should have Happy Hour. Take a look at this drink made at Astaria restaurant up in San Mateo. G’night and Happy Friday.
from downtown san mateo’s facebook pg: I just went to Astaria Restaurant and Bar for drinks and appetizers last night. The bartender was awesome, the ambiance was nice and the appetizers were yummy - we had sauteed vegetables. I’m going back for dinner - what should I order?

Janet1 and Coffee Fix2: It’s Friday and I wonder what time zone was the End of the World was suppose to happen. All three of us have a major sweet tooth. One of my Facebook connections had a bento dessert box at Nobu(must be the one in Hawai’i).
What you see in the picture would be in  my dessert bento box. Look at the cannoli’s!
-this is what was written in my fb’s connection page, “We so enjoyed dinner at Nobu’s at FSMBH last night. The restaurant’s renovation is a big improvement. Loved the decor, the dining chairs & the staff was really on top of it! The Food~~~amazing….we like the freshness of vegetables and the citrus flavors was onolious!! Price is not outrageous, it’s about the same any other restaurant. The dessert “Bento Box” was the right size….I finished it :)”

Project 366 - 12/15/2012 - 350/366

Eric9: I’m full of last second pitches. Have spaghetti and meatballs tonight. See previous posts. Leave now, get stuck in traffic jam, don’t eat local and head down to Mama D’s in Manhattan Beach for spaghetti and meatballs. Check out the next snapshot in the following post. This snapshot and the next one is how my food pics(?) turn out. Makes me feel kinda good.
pic and info from flickr member joyce_l:

this picture won’t do it justice. please go and try it yourself. love their freshly made lobster & crab ravioli in pink sauce and bread (served with garlic olive oil).
but don’t expect too much on their food presentation and restaurant’s ambience though. it’s a family style restaurant offers friendly service.

A Handy Guide to Los Angeles’ Best Sandwiches

Ricecakes: Happy Tuesday evening. It’s test tasting chili night. I’m reposting e-mails. Here’s a list to discuss among your family, us, friends, “friends” and even your buddies. ;-)  I’m sure this list will start a fire where many will agree or disagree with Matthew Kang. On the other hand I think this will come in handy when we don’t know what to do in our hometown and want to check out other neighborhoods. Look forward to what you think of Eater LA/Kang’s guide.

Los Angeles is a diverse city, especially with regard to its cuisine. As a true cultural melting pot, a compilation of LA’s the best sandwiches wouldn’t be complete without several ethnic representations. There are still many more sandwiches to add, but as the first edition, this one does touch on many different types: deli, Italian, Cuban, farm-to-table, classic American, even Persian and Korean. Without further ado, Eater presents a selection of the city’s best sandwiches.
