First 2 Hours are FREE Parking.  It's a beautiful, but warm day at the Alameda Produce Market. See What Jay Eats... The Amorcito agua fresca from Todo Verde . with Strawberry, Rose, Chia Seeds, and Maple Syrup. One of the more popular aqua frescas and probably my favorite one.  It wasn't too busy today, so I got a chance to take a break and get something to eat. Stopped by to see Chef Ted Montoya of Calo Provisions had on his menu today. Chef Ted suggested the Veg Tamale  Chef working on my order. This can be a vegan option without the cheese, it's all about the options.  The Veg "Soyrizo" Chili Tamale  with Panela cheese and scallions from Calo Provisions . The Raspado "Orangria" was refreshing on a warm day. Che...

See What Jay Eats...  The "Rainbow Roe~D" from Cup Town BBQ With roe, pickled radish, and seaweed salad  over rice.

It's the 5th installment of Smorgasburg Los Angeles, July 17, 2016 ( Happy 61st Anniversary Disneyland! ) Smorgasburg is a market for food, design, and vintage  items every Sunday in Downtown Los Angeles at the Alameda Produce Market. Happy National Ice Cream Day!   Lots of people came out for ice cream and had some special ice cream vendors too. It was probably the busiest day yet... It was nice seeing the Salt & Straw truck,  but look at this line... See What Jay Eats...   The Ice Cream Bonanza brought out a lot of people and many of the vendors ran  out of food. I happened to visit my friends at  Maury's Bagels. Jason said he was out of fish, so he put together an Avocado  Jalapeno Cheddar bagel with cream cheese, tomato, and red onions. Wow, it was a great combination! Before we packed up and headed for home, I was able to get a burrito from  Burritos La Palma . It may not l...

Got invited to the Hello Kitty Cafe Pop-up Container opening at the Irvine Spectrum.  The unit is truly a shipping container turned into a kitchen. This is the first container kitchen in the food service industry in Orange County.  As you walk into the container to order, you'll see the menu on the above monitor.  Inside the kitchen. Having worked on a food truck, the container is just a bit wider than a food truck.  The Hello Kitty gift box  and bow water bottles.  The dessert items o n display Photo by Hello Kitty Cafe Here's a closer view of the menu The Strawberry Custard Puff looks good  After ordering, you go around to the other side of the container to pick up your drinks.  The drink pick up area  Some of the characters  on the back container door.
