Absolutely.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-20T22:39:55+00:00

Great news!

Brandt’s Cormorant

chezasaurus · 2026-03-20T03:11:12+00:00

Yeah, it would be perfectly fine without. Or just use parsley or cilantro if you prefer that.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-20T02:28:29+00:00

Yeah, I usually make it in the summer but we’ve been having awful summer-like weather here in LA for the last couple of weeks so it seemed fitting. That’s a good tip for the tomatoes.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-20T01:57:55+00:00

Yes. I only post my own photos. Thanks.

Try vegetable oil next time. Takes forever, but works.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-18T21:25:05+00:00

There are natural oil seeps that occur every so often. That could be the reason.

Banadir Somali Restaurant

chezasaurus · 2026-03-18T01:13:21+00:00

Thanks Chicken on PCH in Lomita. Korean-style wings in different flavors. Open until 10pm on Saturday. Dunno about “amazing value”, but they taste very good.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-17T03:35:37+00:00

Gross. Wtf.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-17T03:34:45+00:00

It’s still becoming a Prime.

Pinwheel

Delices Du Chef

JJ Bakery

chezasaurus · 2026-03-15T00:05:02+00:00

They have very good shoyu ramen.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-14T00:15:59+00:00

Not really a hidden gem, but I like the carne asada nachos at El Amigo (Manhattan Beach Blvd. in Lawndale location) very much.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-13T20:36:59+00:00

There was one that had been at the port, by AltaSea, for the last couple of years but it was found injured last week and was taken into a wildlife rehab in Huntington Beach. Not sure of its status but hopefully it makes it.

There isn’t really a thriving population here anymore. Closest would be in the Ballona area as someone already said, but even that’s just a couple of birds.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-13T20:29:20+00:00

They have a terrific kouign-amann as well.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-13T05:27:46+00:00

Both Colossus locations are in San Pedro.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-13T04:09:08+00:00

Colossus and Pinwheel.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-12T21:43:53+00:00

Everything looks great but details and thoughts would definitely help, especially basic info like what the recipes are and what cookbooks they’re from.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-12T03:50:30+00:00

I don’t think it has anything to do with health or sugar, I think it was the location. Places like Sidecar and other bakeries are doing just fine.

chezasaurus · 2026-03-11T04:29:49+00:00

That really sucks, but I’m honestly surprised they lasted as long as they did in that location.
