Sweet Butter Toast

Hmm…food, travel, books, and just random stuff that I like.

Bizarra Capital July 8, 2012

A few weeks ago, I had dinner at Bizarra Capital with a couple of close friends. According to Jonathan Gold, they have fried huazontle here. We didn’t order it and I don’t remember seeing it on the menu either. I guess I should have read his article in the LA Times before my visit. Oh well, maybe next time. We did have mole fries though. Don’t judge me, but I don’t think I’m much of a mole fries type of girl. It looked and smelled delicious and my friends seem to really like it though. I hope to make it back to Bizarra again soon. There is so much on the menu that I still need to try.

Grace had two glasses. So I’m assuming this drink was good, whatever it was.

If you can’t take spicy food, don’t order this dish. All peppers and nothing else.

The fish tacos were delicious. I’m craving one right now.

Jen and I met up for dinner on Friday night at La Grande Orange Cafe in Pasadena. LGO had over 500 reviews on Yelp and an average rating of 4 stars. *sigh* Yelp reviews failed us again. The food was mediocre and over priced. The only two things that I actually liked was my Orangina, which came from a bottle, and the chips that came with the ceviche. There was an olive oil cake on the menu that we wanted to order for dessert, but after the disastrous appetizers and entree, we lost confidence in the quality of their desserts. I will not be eating at LGO again.

Orangina with the Timeline

Deviled Eggs w/ Bacon - too much mustard?

Ceviche - Bleh. The huge chunks of avocado and shrimp doesn't fit on the chips.

Mac n' Cheese

Famous Short Ribs?

Cool huh? The only cool thing at LGO.
