‘Mexican’

Dining with St. Francis

Eggs and stuff underneath.

St. Francis sounds like it should be some sort of a new band, as opposed to a trendy restaurant in Phoenix. Yet, if it were a band I would obviously not be writing about it up here on my meat blog. But anyway, St. Francis is kind of a modern American spot with industrial designs and a shocking amount of toys for children to play with. I went on what was one of the hottest days ever recorded on earth.

Hash Bash at Hash Kitchen

It starts with huevos.

It’s not often that I eat at a new place (for me) twice before getting a chance to review that place. Yet, that weirdly happened with Hash Kitchen, a breakfast spot (no, not a dispensary) with a few locations around the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. As you may expect, they specialize in Bloody Marys. Okay, but also in different kinds of hash if you’re not in a Bloody Mary mood, which I literally never am.

Wrapped in Delicious at The El Felix

Something good inside?
Something good inside?

What’s in a name? Apparently for The El Felix in Alpharetta, Georgia it’s redundancy. While I cannot explain why it’s The El Felix and not simply El Felix, I can say that this nuevo Mexican restaurant seems to be made for unvegans like me. I had a tough time picking from all the great-looking meaty options, but when the waiter made a strong sell for the Tacos Al Pastor.

An Heirloom Breakfast at Dawn Patrol

But what's inside?
But what’s inside?

As with most breakfast places in Southern California, there has to be some sort of Mexican influence. Dawn Patrol in Santa Barbara is no different. So as I stood in line waiting to place my order, I had plenty of time to think about what to get. Like many breakfasts before, I couldn’t take my eyes off of the Breakfast Burrito.

It’s no surprise that good oral hygiene is important to anyone’s smile, as well as their general health and well-being. However, when braces are introduced into the equation, not only is it more difficult to maintain a healthy mouth, but it is even more important to do so, paying attention to healthy dental habits that will ensure your success long after those brackets come off. Get the most professional assistance from dr homan omaha ne.

Having good oral hygiene and dental health is hard enough these days with busy lives and fast-paced lifestyles – so we understand that adding the increased responsibilities of orthodontics can be difficult to maintain. Here at Van Hoof Dental, we see it as our responsibility and privilege to steward your orthodontic care here in our offices. However, we would be doing our patients a disservice if we didn’t stress the importance of in-home care and the patients’ responsibility to take the best care of themselves after they leave our office. These are the best male enhancement pills.

Fortunately, we’ve all been given a fantastic initial indicator of poor dental hygiene: bad breath. You may be asking yourself, how is bad breath a good thing? Well, it’s really our first “tell” that dental hygiene may be lacking – and it’s a great barometer to understand oral health. If you can maintain great breath, by brushing and flossing twice a day, you will ensure a healthy mouth for years to come. Proper dental health is also fantastic preventative medicine that can help you avoid costly procedures or health problems later in life. Keeping a clean mouth and healthy gums are the best way to maintain overall good health because conditions such as heart disease, dementia, diabetes, and infertility can be attributed to poor dental hygiene and gum disease.

We at Southshore Orthodontics know how hard it can be to manipulate that toothbrush to get it in-between your braces. We get that normal brushing just doesn’t cut it. The struggle is real, and we are here for you to get you through it! Allow us to be your cheerleaders – encouraging you to do the work, and “brace” yourselves for some hard work ahead to really take care of your mouth and teeth during your orthodontic journey.

Birria at Burritos La Palma

Platillo!
Platillo!

A lot of the time, a burrito is just a burrito. Fillings vary in quality and variety, but they are generally the same basic thing. Not so much at Burritos La Palma in El Monte. These burritos came straight from Jerez, Mexico and if you didn’t know any better you might think of them as enchiladas. Burritos La Palma specializes in birria and so that’s what I got.

A Torta at Tortugas

That's some cheese porn.
That’s some cheese porn.

Torta is Mexican for sandwich and there is a sweet semi-new spot in Pasadena that deals pretty much exclusively in that hand food from south of the border. It’s called Tortugas, and is either a reference to turtles, an island in Haiti or a national park (the dry one). Regardless, the place has a great variety of Mexican sandwiches and one in particular screamed out to my unvegan belly.

Brewing Some Pork Belly at Helio Basin

Taco belly!
Taco belly!

Breweries are the best, right? And they typically have awesome food. That’s why I was pretty excited to find out Phoenix was getting a new brewery called Helio Basin and tried to make my way there at the first opportunity. Plus, it didn’t hurt that I had a connection at the place and wanted to show some support.

American Indian at California Chutney

Wait, that's like a salsa bar.
Wait, that’s like a salsa bar.

There’s something about fusion done well that really gets me excited. Throw some Korean BBQ into tacos and I’m sold. Try to make Mexican food Kosher, not so much (don’t underestimate the need for cheese!). But I had never thought of Indian food as something to fuse until I found California Chutney in Old Town Pasadena. This place is all about fusing Indian food with American (and by American I also mean Mexican because, hey, North America).
