My pre comic-con jaunt to LA was a little treat to myself for all my hard work getting ready for Comic-Con. A BIRTHDAY treat!
I met up with some pals and we chowed our way through all kinds of foodie fun!
Our first order of business was a stop at the famed Kogi truck!
I'd never had any of this yummy goodness before! I had the chicken, spicy pork, & rib tacos (yes! all three!). My buds tried the sliders & the black jack quesadilla. The rib was the clear stand out but, the chicken - usually the weak link of any taco truck menu, was a clear surprise. The truly stellar piece was the slider! Creamy mayo and kogi spiced rib meat with crisp lettuce and a soft sweet bun. Heaven I will order this again and again and again (whenever I get the chance!
We finished our lunch with a stop at a local and excellent gelato place (which I forgot to write down, sorry). After that we headed in separate directions, half of our group went to a birthday party and the rest of us took a trip to Skylight Books! A truly exceptional indie bookstore. A pal of mine knew letting me loose into that shop would be giving me Christmas in July! Skylight has a really focused selection. I found truly excellent books there. It was incredible to come across so many books I'd never heard of! Bliss!
After loading up on some goodies ("This Is Where I Leave You" by Jonathan Tropper, "Look At Me" by Jennifer Egan, and "Signing Their Lives Away" by Denise Kernan & Joseph D'Agnes) we headed out to dinner. We went to Umami Burger.
Dinner was excellent! A truly epic burger!
For dessert we headed off to Horrible Movie Night for good giggles.
The next day dawned sunny and hot so we silly foodie fools opted to visit a Swap Meet and Food truck extravaganza at Dodger's Stadium. We BARELY strolled through the tents of stuff - too busy stuffing our faces.
