Last Meal of the Apocalypse
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008[Chantry Fire 4/26/08, Originally uploaded by ssladybug]
The Creature sat
upon an immense onyx throne
craving, waiting, lusting,
its stubby fingers clutching
at the arm rests.
The hour had come,
the meal arrived,
despite my protests,
the Creature
after countless eons
was finally served its long-awaited repast.

This Just In: Retailers Follow the Money
Monday, March 24th, 2008In the course of an interesting article on a looming battle of the grocers, in the SB Sun, Wayne Howard, “agribusiness department chairman at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo” is quoted in a most unfortunate way. On the subject of grocers opening stores in well-to-do neighborhoods, Howard says:
“There’s always more growth where people have money,” […]
New Soul Food Restaurant Opening 3/1/08
Saturday, March 1st, 2008I just got word late yesterday about a new restaurant opening here in Monrovia today. I met the owner Anita Gholar a few years back. I was surprised when I found out that she had gone to Culinary School to hone her skills and is adapting traditional soul food to be healthier versions for her restaurant. I’ll […]
LAist Discovers Andy’s Coffee Shop, Is Kinda Impressed
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008The headline says it all:
If I had know about Andy’s Coffee shop during my days at Pasadena City College, just two blocks down, I would’ve ditched biology in the morning at least a couple more times. Hiding on a stretch where the store facades all look the same, I almost wish Andy’s had a […]
Roy’s Hawaiian Coming to Pasadena
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008It’s a chain, but Eater LA says it’s okay:
Yes, the Dena is rife with chains, but this one actually makes sense. Roy’s Hawaiian is coming to Colorado Boulevard near the Laemmle Playhouse movie theater and Vroman’s bookstore, in the ground floor of the newish Trio building. Roy Yamaguchi got his start here in LA […]
Gene Widdicombe, Zillionaire, Lived in Glendora
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008I don’t know how Roy Kroc convinced Gene Widdicombe to invest her life-savings in a fast food joint, but on Planet Glendora, anything’s possible.
The Widdicombes raised cattle in the rural Canadian province of Manitoba. But they were forced to seek a warmer climate in the early 1950s when their oldest son came down with a […]
Crumbs from the Journo’s Table…
Thursday, February 7th, 2008Besides the Editor’s Corner, check out the SGVT’s Leftovers from City Hall if you haven’t already. In many ways this is one of the biggest bits of news we’ve dealt with in a while. There is some snap to Jennifer McLain and Tania Chatila’s posts over there. Plus some cool info: did […]
Glendoran Food
Thursday, February 7th, 2008Sounds like someone from L.A.to me:
Yummy!
This is a great hidden gem! Glendora! Where the hell is that!?! I’m still not sure, off the 210 is all I know. But Eden Garden is such a cool place. Really good food and Hookah! Can’t beat that.

Hipsters in Claremont! AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!
Monday, February 4th, 2008This headline brought to you by Calvin and Hobbes.
Hipsters in Claremont? This town is going to hell in a handbasket.
The first plate of words I have to eat is the business prospects of the place: As the song goes, that joint was jumpin’. And it was jumpin’ with clientele that one doesn’t usually see in […]

The al pastor at EL TAQUITO MEXICANO
Sunday, December 16th, 2007The al pastor at EL TAQUITO MEXICANO, located above the 210 freeway in Pasadena, relies less on texture than marinade.
Hey, it got my attention too. Mr Jeremy Kaplan continues:
The meat is saturated in a dense sauce that resembles the wonderful rendang dish of Indonesia. The flavor is smoky and juicy, with taste and texture […]
