A 'Sweet' Dessert



A couple of months ago, I sampled some créme caramel from Créme Caramel LA.  If you don't know what it is, it's the French version of flan (or vice versa), which is a custard dessert with a layer of caramel on top.  Without getting into all of the details, flan is different in many parts of the world.  So, I'll just refer to it as créme caramel...

My first tasting of Créme Caramel LA,
thanks to Nina Rodecker
(@TastyClouds)

I checked their website and found them
 at the Barnsdall Art Park Farmers Market
on Wednesdays

Sampled all of the créme caramels flavors
and all were very good.

Which made it hard to pick one...
All with great flavor
and not too sweet.


While I was there...

This couple walks up, tries samples of the
créme caramel, they end up purchasing 2 of them.
Not more than 8 feet away, they finished their créme 
caramel AND returned to purchase another 2.  

 Nice to have return customers like that...


Bread Pudding too...

I've only seen pictures of their bread pudding,
until I tasted it...

Loved the Caramalized Bacon Bread Pudding!

A lot of places have a very strong bacon flavor in their products,
most are so-so.
But this one has a great bacon flavor throughout.
I really loved this one!


Today's Menu

They have their standard flavors
and special flavors,
so check the board.


Today's Fall Flavors...


Hard to believe it's Fall in Los Angeles,
it's Sunny and 82º

If you can't make it out to one of their farmers markets,
you can order directly from them
or  visit
The Park's Finest
and save room for dessert


 I got to meet the entire company!

 Check their website for the current 
farmers market locations


I love when small businesses have a game plan
and great tasting products.
I've seen too many that don't have one or the other,
and in some cases both.
I guess that's why I get called...


I'm a Fan!

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i...

Coco Bread Sandwich with Jerk Chicken

Image
Who Doesn't Like Jerk Chicken??? OK, I'm Sure There Are Some, A Few, One, Maybe Two... This is Maybe My  Favorite  Sandwich! At least the one I think about when wanting  a great 'Sandwich'  comes to mind. Chef Yonette serves this sandwich as an every so often special at her restaurant, Caribbean Gourmet in San Gabriel, CA. The sandwich consists of Jerk Chicken and a Slaw for texture and balance on a house-made Coco Bread, a buttery soft circular flat bread (aka "Butter Flap" in Guyana) Like most awesome sandwiches, it's the bread that makes it great. As I pick-up my sandwich on Sandwich Saturday. Whenever I pick up pastries or patties from Caribbean Gourmet, it's very hard to make it home. Smelling the Jerk Chicken... See What Jay Eats... Yup, I caved and it didn't make it home... Follow Caribbean Gourmet's IG account and Stories for the next Jerk Chicken Sandwich Special Saturday. @caribbeangourmet On sandwich day, be sure to be there at Noon,...

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

Image
I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+.
