It made a valiant effort at that NY style of pizza pie. Secondly is brand new Extreme Pizza that boasts a wide variety

Ladies and gentlemen, rumors of the fabled sushi burrito have spread far and wide in the greater LA area. I can assure you it’s real. I have proof. I finally caught the elusive Jogasaki truck when they stopped at the ADM Eat Fleet. I guess I was super excited because I was the first person in line. Didn’t take long

If you recall a few months ago, I talked about authentic Hawaiian ice and how good it was. Well thankfully, a friend of mine told me right after that post went live, that theres a Hawaiian Ice place right here in the South Bay, Torrance to be exact. Calling Get Shaved popular was really one of the biggest understatements. The

Starting to get the hang of baking. This recipe was referred to as being super easy but honestly I beg to differ. This was actually one of the harder ones I’ve done simply because I had issues with putting the filling into the muffins. I ran out of batter too for the last row and overall the muffins didn’t look
