Jay Eats Worldwide

I was invited to the preview of the 3rd Annual Sunset & Dine , a celebration of the area's culinary concepts and the community in Hollywood.  Organized by the Central Hollywood Coalition and presented by The Los Angeles Film School, I was able to get a taste of what Sunset & Dine is all about. I grew up not too far from Hollywood, we'd go to the Chinese Theater for movies, Tower Records for music, and various venues to see bands.  I guess in those days, I never really thought of Hollywood as a place for food.   Over the years, I've noticed that new places were opening up, but they weren't just 'new' places, they were creative concepts.     See What Jay Eats... at Sunset and Vine Our first stop was at "Field Trip at the Farmer's Kitchen" I've been wanting to come to Field Trip , but they're only open until 3 pm.

It's Ramen Monday! Last week was the celebration of Shin Sen Gumi's 3rd Anniversary of their Little Tokyo location and had their Hakata Ramen for $3 a bowl!!! (9/8 to 9/11) I usually don't go to Shin-Sen-Gumi's promotions because a lot of people show up. But this was a bit different, I was in the area AND could have a late lunch / early dinner today. Met up with a couple of friends and didn't have to wait long (about 20 mins at 2 pm) We didn't get a table, but did sit at the counter overlooking the kitchen. Not really a line to get in this afternoon, but at least they were prepared (1:50 pm Tuesday) See What Jay Eats... Hakata Ramen $3 a bowl AND they offered Extra Noodle too.

This is the 3rd and Final 626 Night Market at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia for 2014. Celebrating the End of Summer! Here's what I'm looking forward to this weekend... Photo Courtesy of Oh Thit! Rainbow Tacos from Oh Thit!   (F19)  A lemongrass pork grilled to perfection with fresh cabbage, onions, cilantro, topped with the special Oh Thit! sauce on a warm corn tortilla. I did get to sample the work-in-progress version and THAT was good OR should I say "Thit!" was good! I love tacos, this one had a nice kick with the flavorful pork. 20" Satay (The longest satay at a Night Market) from Aunty Merry   (E07) Chicken, Angus Beef, and Chicken Curry satay available. I've had their satay and Indonesian corn at a previous 626 and was very good.   This week has been quite warm and just thought to check the weather for this weekend in the San Gabriel Valley. It's Gonna be a Hot One! Here...
