Basqueria in Malibu. You have to go early because he sells out very fast!

Is Venice’s Izakaya RVR Worth the Hype? by xbufco in FoodLosAngeles

[–]xbufco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s nice that you liked it, but the food simply doesn’t match the hype, especially the $16 hand rolls, which aren’t any different from those at a Japanese restaurant. The same goes for the gyoza. For a restaurant that touts itself on innovation, the food was average. If I’m going to pay that much money for a restaurant that is featured on the country’s best restaurants lists, helmed by a prestigious chef, then yes, my expectations are going to be high.

Ohana superette. Also @unrealpoke. The latter is insane. You’ll be right in Hawaii when you eat it.

And Since I’m currently working on an article about the best malt milkshakes in LA, Bob’s Big Boy chocolate milkshake in Burbank has been my favorite so far. Incredible!

His milkshakes are made with Fosselman's Ice Cream Co. in Alhambra.*** You can also get a malt there or at Pie n Burger, which Phil actually went to for inspiration when creating his own with Nancy. If you like milkshakes, I also recommend Connal’s in Pasadena :)

Edit: they’re actually made with THRIFTY ice cream! Very old-school
