Potato Chips On Beverly


Thank God for Potato Chips because I was getting sick and tired of driving all the way to Bay Cities or Larchmont Wine and Cheese every time I wanted a good sandwich. When you walk in you see a menu with six basic sandwiches on a cute little chalk board. They offer an Italian, turkey, tuna, Sopressata, and Proscuitto. Of course I went for the Italian, however next time I will give something else a whirl. I loved the fact that the lettuce was shredded. I am not a big fan of whole leaf bulky romaine on my sammy. I also loved the bread...it was fresh, flaky and again, not too much bulk. Salty, crunchy, and good quality meat. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

NOW OPEN!


Went to Katsuya at LA LIVE downtown last night.
YUM!

Terroni is BOMBoni



Terroni, one of my favorite places to eat in LA was exactly what i needed last Friday night. Refusing to wait 30 minutes, I luckily scored 2 seats at the bar and went to town. I started off the night with caprese. Their version used grape tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella. The pasta I order every time (dandelion greens, spicy sausage, cream, and Fontina cheese) was perfect as usual. Still wanting more food, we opted for a pizza. Thin, crispy and amazing. Somehow, I still made room for desert. Fratellis (fried Italian donuts), stuffed with Nutella and accompanied with homemade hazelnut gelato.
