A day in LA

[DFen911]

Had such a wonderful day with my friend, and previous chef instructor! She took me all over and showed me all sorts of gems. If you're bored the blog is here.

But I tell you it really makes you realize there is so much around us that we don't even realize. Makes me want to get out and explore more

I read it Denise! Sounds like a fantastic day. I would want unlimited energy, funds and cooler for all the bounty! I know there is not that much around here. Although I have found a few little gems. There is a Euro Mart/Deli that I want to try, but it is in a really weird place and the only time I think of it is when I am leaving the Super WalMart and I am DONE!

Steve and I keep thinking that we wish there was local restaurant hang out near us. You know, the kinds they have on Diners Drive In's and Dives or the The Best Thing I Ever Ate. But so far I haven't found that place.

Anyway - your adventure was fun. I wanted to be your companion too!

Denise, what an incredible experience! I am inspired to explore the city...maybe I'll find my own gems.

Thanks for sharing the experience!

Cool! Glad you liked the Pho bò. Orlando had a "Little Saigon" section with several Vietnamese restaurants and a few Vietnamese stores, and it was great.

Derek and I have planned a day to go back to the cheese shop the wine shop and the restaurant And then my goal is to find at least 2 more places.

Wow, just Wow, Denise!! I just spent 1 1/2 hours devouring your blog and have 3 pages of notes!! I love stealing ideas from others' menus - fodder for cookbooks!!

This tour will be on our agenda in October when we come thru again - all I can say is thank you, thank you - these are the finds we look for in every city we stop.
