Dvd Player And Recorder, yes, absolutely.

I’m okay with Oinkster. When I can handle that much fatty food in one sitting, I’ve enjoyed the pastrami sandwiches.

You’re kind of right with the food wasteland nomer for Eagle Rock. After all, The Bucket has been around for how long? And seems to have now expanded? And almost everything on the menu is absolutely soused with *garlic salt*! Garlic salt! I hadn’t thought about garlic salt since the late seventies until I went to The Bucket.

But I do think there’s enough decent around ER that it’s not as horrible as living in, oh, say, the Kendall region of Miami, FL.

ok, but about Spitz: a lot of places have sweet potato fries and sp fries are yummy. But Spitz now has a “street-style” version of their fries. When you get this and ask for sp fries instead of reg fries, you have a really, really excellent sweet and salty and spicy and creamy and crunchy indulgence.

[...] Realize this: that boring po-dunk almond jello recipe will NEVER get a book deal ala This is Why You’re Fat, or a TV show ala Alie & Georgia. And some of your stories will NEVER be published on LA Times, ditto to that total snore of a restaurant write up. Really, never. But this doesn’t mean you can’t have some EF YOU N doing what we all do. You can’t beat some of these kickass comments for free entertainment value! [...]

[...] There’s also the sense that this list is the end-all, be-all to LA dining. If indeed the case, why only 99 items? For those who dine out 400 meals a year, 99 items wouldn’t last a year, much less a life time. Finally, and this is rather annoying pet peeve: the concept of only 1 thing being deserving enough to be eaten at a restaurant such as Urasawa is a tremendous disservice to the establishment and its cuisine. Invariably, everyone goes to Jitlada only to order that green lipped mussel in Southern curry because Gourmet advised them so. Why why why? When there are 50 items in the menu that will blow your mind equally? Why only 1 flavor of gelato at Bulgarini, especially when the flavors are seasonal? Armed with this list, the unadventuresome will to cross off a restaurant with impunity after tasting 1 piece of beef roll from 101? How ridiculous? Perhaps even more ridiculous than the hatred of Oinkster after only one visit? [...]

Well put Ben!! Wow, everyone is a food critic these days. And taste buds are just like opinions Everyone has one. It seems some may need to take a swish to the palette and gently clean their dirty mouths. SWISH, SWISH! I tried Oinkster for the first time tonight, and It is not at all an apocalypsed wasteland! The mouth from which that statement was concieved is the wasteland. The way they bashed this place like it was horrid and tasteless! Absurd, rubish Totally untrue. I really enjoyed the pastrami it had a good balance of flavors and it was not all fatty. There wasn’t an empty seat in the house so obviously someones enjoying it. This is not a 5 star restaurant nothing fancy just down home food. Is that not the reason you go to a fastfood joint? Buy a bedazzler.It makes thinks sparkle it seems like you are more Obbsessed with fake things that shine instead of real things with substance, taste and Pure yumminess. OINK OINK!

If this post made just a little more sense, I’d have a resolute comment to make. However, it doesn’t, so I’ll just defend what I think is good food. Casa Bianca makes a delicious pie, as evidenced by the throngs waiting to get in and/or take some home. And Oinkster’s fries are perfect. Their condiments are spot on, the pastrami is perfectly acceptable, and the burger really isn’t bad. It’s not the best joint all around, but I still find it pretty delicious. By no means the worst food in the area. And how exactly is Eagle Rock “a pathetic post-nuclear apocalypsed wasteland of bad food”? What the fuck does that mean? It’s not accurate from a critical standpoint, and that metaphor is absurd. You ate there. It exists.

Totally agree – tho not as harshly. The comment on the ‘belgian frys’ stuck out more than anything – what a bunch of mushy hype. gross
