Chicken and Waffles at Roscoe’s – LA
Yes, they have chicken and waffles in New York, after all, many say the dish originated in Harlem’s Well’s Supper Club, but when in Los Angeles, Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles is just one of those places you have to go, and happily, I can report it did not disappoint. MORE »

Just when you thought the Los Angeles posts were done, guess what?!, there’s more acomin’. The reason being is that after our first trip, we went again a month later. But don’t worry NY peeps, there’s only 3-4 more posts from the second trip, and after that, it’ll be all New York again.
So on our second trip, after a day of eating spicy crawfish, clams, and shrimp at The Boiling Crab, David and I went on the search for something sweet and cool to appease our burning stomachs.

Kalguksu Lunch at Myung Dong Kyoja – LA
Day 7, the last day of our first LA trip, and right after experiencing my first cherimoya, David and I stopped by Myung Dong Kyoja (명동교자) for a quick lunch before heading to the airport.

Our trip to the Santa Monica Farmers Market happened on Day Four, but it wasn’t until Day 7 (the last day of our first LA trip!) we got to try the most interesting purchase of the trip. Seriously, it was mind-blowing and completely legal, within California and beyond. MORE »
