Hike up to Mt. Hollywood for a view over Los Angeles.

Go over to Manon’s place for some bubbly and black eyed peas:

Very, very tasty. Thanks, Manon!

Like these:

Then it is time for Rodeo Grill on Sunset, because they deliver!

Tasty, yummy fish tacos at 8AM – a runner’s breakfast!

Boy, we were lucky that we did! Señor Fish rocks! Big Time.

Both the Fish Taco Sampler

(Halibut, Tuna & Salmon) and the Sopes

made us swear to come back next weekend to Eagle Rock to investigate the menu further.

General impression: Superior food and laid back premises – what’s not to like?

Only weak people take the cookies too.

And 4 Pick salamis are better than one.

Don’t just take my word for it – others go to great lengths too, to grab a bit(e) of this Hungarian delicacy.

All things Hungarian in Los Angeles can be found here:

They have an actual store in Burbank; they also ship all over the US.

We are definitely not in the habit of hanging our Prosciutto over the back of the chairs; this is hard evidence of the stealing going on in this house if one walks away from the breakfast table for just a moment.

So, you cats, listen up:

The first time you got away with it.
The second time we disturbed you and we have the photo to prove it.
The third time… we live in CA and we have something called the “three strikes law.” So you better be careful.

Thieves! Bandits! Gangster!

Yes – the best ceviche I ever had is the one at Papa’s Place in Los Feliz. It is traditional with a twist, making me go back again and again for more.

Can one get hooked on ceviche?

it is only a short step to deciding to dedicate the day to His Noodliness, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, which involves homemade pasta.

Paired with homemade Pesto and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan, our “Day of Honoring His Noodly Appendages” was a delicious success.

I had to debate with myself, because – quite frankly – I am not into burgers. Flat, dry pieces of meat clamped between bath sponge-textured buns, dribbling with overly sweet ketchup splashed over limp salad leaves, tasteless tomato slices and the horror of horror, a slice of plastic cheese… no, I am not into burgers at all. On the other hand, “Unami Burger” was being praised for being different – okay, let’ give it a try, we said.

I am glad we did!

I have to admit, this is not the very best photo of the signature Unami Burger, but I’ll try to make up for it by describing the experience: First of all, the meat was cooked medium to perfection, the also ordered “Port & Stilton Burger” was impeccably cooked too. The cheese was not some plastic looking and tasting piece of molten rubber, but a baked lacy Parmesan slice. The tomato – roasted; mushrooms – sauteed. Just looking at it I thought: Hey, I can eat that!

And eat it I did. Nothing dribbled, nothing fell off, even the bun tasted good. Paired with some sweet potato fries with homemade tomato ketchup, which we shared, it was a very pleasant and good meal. I wouldn’t know about the much touted “5th Taste Experience” – let’s just say, this is a burger I would have again if I happened to pass by the place.

And that is high praise for something I am normally not into at all.
