It was fine

Lazy Dog Restaurant

It was fine · Lazy Dog, Los Angeles

The artwork is cute.

For some reason our waitress didn’t use her iPad and had to continue to verify order. Write it down. I don’t care how good you think your memory is.

CoMo Omelette

Liked it · San Pedro Cafe, Sam Pedro

Cheese, sausage, tomato sauce all on an omelette. And you can order banana bread as a “toast”.

Casino Theatre On Catalina Island

Casino Theatre On Catalina Island

Catalina Island, California

Today our stop is Catalina Island… and island off the coast of Los Angeles. And adorable little town with wild buffalo and golf carts.

The famous landmark is the Casino… which is not a casino. A circular theatre built in 1933. Theatre downstairs and a ballroom and now roller skating rink upstairs.

The building is so beautiful… the theatre is lovely and the old ballroom has its charm. The outside terrace also gives spectacular views.

Cochinita Pibil

Liked it · Pink Agave, Virgin Voyages

I enjoyed this much more than expected. It came with tortilla but I just ate the meat. It was not heavy and very flavourful.

achiote-marinated smoked pork
& sour orange habanero pico de gallo

Horchata Donut

Liked it · Hook & Press, Santa Barbara

Damn this was good. The flavour was Horchata and the donut was just as good as the icing.

Crunch Peanut Butter and Jam Toasted Brioche

Did not like it · Hot off the Press, Virgin Voyages

There isn’t much, if anything I will give a thumbs down to on this ship, but this sandwich is definitely a skip. The potential is there to be delicious in theory but the toasting dries it out and there is not enough spread to give it enough moisture.

With maple syrup butter. I used the bread which was really good to get the butter in ma mouth.
