It's hard to believe that Tamashiro Market in #Honolulu is closing its doors today after nearly 80 years. My grandparents shopped there for fish, I remember one trip with my grandpa where he pointed out various local seafood, notably Aku (skipjack tuna). Memories… #inthe808

It’s been awhile… Had the famous Bacon and Avocado Burger today at Howard’s Famous Bacon & Avocado Burger in WLA. It was a good #burger with lettuce and tomato. The bacon was crispy and the avocado was ripe, not bad for under $9.00. Until we meat again… #inthe310

The @Dodgers are playing today in SF AND I have the afternoon off. #ITFDB #ChashuPlate (Medium) from Bachan’s Take Out in Monterey Park. With Mac Salad, Rice, and Spicy Mustard. Dodgers Win, 3 - 0 I’d say it was a good day off… #chashu #inthe626 #bachanstakeout

It’s a Matcha Yuzu Day in Pasadena. “Matcha Tonic” from Mandarin 2 With matcha, Japanese yuzu juice, agave, and fever tree tonic. “Matcha Yuzu Canele” from BU Pastry Bar The drink and canele, a matcha made in heaven! #matcha #inthe626

Did you know??? A slice of apple pie is $2.50 in Jamaica and $3.00 in the Bahamas. These are the pie rates of the Caribbean. Now you know…

Look what the Easter Bunny brought me… After an early morning cooking Easter breakfast, it was nice to enjoy my Caribbean meal while watching the #dodgers game. Jerk Chicken with Rice & Peas, Cabbage, and Fried Plantains from #CaribbeanGourmet in San Gabriel. #inthe626

It’s Tako Tuesday! For some reason, I wanted Tako Sushi (octopus) today. But, where can you get octopus sushi at 3 pm??? So, the next best thing, a grab-n-go #ChirashiBowl from #YamaSushiMarketplace in San Gabriel. Happy #TakoTuesday! #inthe626

It’s Taco Tuesday! Beef Taco at El Tepeyac in Boyle Heights. Happy Tuesday! #tacotuesday #tacos #eltepeyac #inthe323

Remembering today…

It all started by wanting potato salad… Oooh, then a baked potato. But you can’t just eat a #BakedPotato for dinner OR can you??? So, I got a #RibeyeSteak with it! “Steak and sex, my favorite pair. I get them both very rare.” ~ Rodney Dangerfield

Chili Cheese Hound at The Happy Hound in Los Gatos. Served with shredded cheddar cheese, chili, and onion. Still the same after all of these years, I just added the mustard… #chilidog #thehappyhound #inthe408

Happy Bacon Day! I wanted a BLT, but I was on the road today. But, when I cook bacon, I Cook Bacon! #baconday #foodcalendar #foodholiday #bacon

“I never met a lasagna I didn’t like” ~ Jim Davis Tonight’s Dinner… #Lasagna from Di Pilla’s Italian Restaurant in #Rosemead. “If I could have drawn a cat yelling for lasagna every day for 15 years and have them pay me $30 million to do so, I would have.” ~ Berkeley Breathed

Rolled Tacos on a FryDay! I would come here late nights for their #RolledTacos, but they don’t stay open as late as they once did. I’m not in the area a lot these days, so it’s a treat to pick up my 5 Rolled Tacos from Benito’s Taco Shop in the Fairfax District. #inthe323

It may look like a mess… BUT, it was a delicious mess! Caught in a carbs-olutely delicious situation. Half Spaghetti and Half Ravioli with a Sausage at Little Toni’s in North Hollywood. A huge plate of Spaghetti and Meat Ravioli covered in Meat Sauce. #noho #inthe818

Happy National Pie Day! There are two pie days and I really don’t care, cause I get to eat my favorite, Key Lime Pie. #nationalpieday #keylimepie #foodcalendar #foodholiday
