Finger Lickin’ at JR’s BBQ

February 17th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Gimme some bone.

JR’s BBQ sits in a little nondescript building at the corner of La Cienega and Fairfax in Culver City. Despite the many many times I’ve driven by there, I still had no idea the place existed until a buddy of mine suggested we check it out. Once I found the place, we went inside and found an old timey place with a bunch of stools set up and a little dining area in the back with mismatched tablecloths, chairs and tables. It was actually pretty cool to be in a place that seemingly cared a lot more about their food than the scene it would be eaten in. We were the only people there, so we took our seats in the dining room and started looking at the menu.

The First Melt at the Grilled Cheese Truck

October 27th, 2009 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

So shiny and like-new

The highly anticipated Grilled Cheese Truck finally rolled into town tonight and due to my frightening obsession with cheese, I made sure to greet the truck. In the tradition of other great ks before it, the unveiling took place at The Brig on Abbot Kinney. I arrived 15 minutes before the scheduled 8:00 start time and was shocked to find the parking lot at The Brig empty except for the shiny orange truck. Apparently, I was to be the first in line!

Korean BBQ Festival and Cook-Off

August 12th, 2009 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

The lines were long, but not endless.

On Saturday, my friends and I headed down to Koreatown for the Korean BBQ Festival and Cook-Off. Korean BBQ is known to be heavy in meat, so I felt this would be a great opportunity to tackle my daily meat intake.

The festival ran from 12:00-5:00 and although we arrived around 1:00, the lines were already getting pretty long. I wasn’t too surprised by the long lines since the event was free, plus $10 per plate.

Assuming the longest lines had the best food, I jumped into one of the lines without

Tubs of meat roll by.

even knowing what it was.

Who Wouldn’t Want a Meat Card?

April 24th, 2009

MEAT AND LASERS

A friend of mine recently enlightened me to the existence of Meat Cards. According to their website, “THESE business cards have two ingredients:
MEAT AND LASERS.”

If those aren’t two of the world’s essential elements (air, water, meat, lasers) I don’t know what are.

The beauty, as far as I can see, is that whether you get these from a good or bad business, you can always eat them after memorizing the essentials. Also, as they are made from jerky, they’re sure to last a long time. There are few things better than edible business equipment.

Beer Me Some Bell’s Oberon

Look like summer to you?

It’s really not summer until you’ve had some Oberon. Sure, the weather may be warm, the grass may be green and the county may be forcing you to water your lawn only on odd-numbered days, but in truth, none of this matters until you get some Oberon in you. Now, you may be wondering, “What is Oberon?” If you turn to Wikipedia (the source of all knowledge), you will be lead to believe that Oberon is the king of the fairies. But this is just hogwash. In fact, Oberon is more likely to be a king of beers. No, not the king of beers…some brewery in St. Louis has that copyrighted.
