NOTE: this was a one-time-only pop-up!

After shaking off the emotional crap from the previous night, we headed out and did an epic day:
-
Quan Ngon Nha Trang (San Gabriel)
-
Fugetsu-do Sweet Shop (Little Tokyo)
-
Far Bar (Little Tokyo)
-
Angel City Brewery (Little Tokyo/DTLA)
-
Wurstkuche (Little Tokyo/DTLA)
-
Pie Hole (Little Tokyo/DTLA)
-
Pizzanista (Arts District)
So in this one day, we were able to pack in Vietnamese noodles, Japanese sweets, German sausages with Belgian fries, American pie, and New York(ish) pizza. We could’ve easily added in Mexican food (of which there are a ton of regional styles available in LA) but surprisingly we didn’t have a drop of during our entire trip because we just couldn’t fit it in.

They officially opened their doors on Halloween but I didn’t get around to checking them out until a few days later.

I was actually inspired by 33 Acres’ “Summer Sunday Br3w-BBQ” but I wanted to involve my family, so I decided to do a weenie roast of my own! Estimating two sausages per person, I needed to buy two dozen sausages. Of course, I only buy the very best for my family, so off to Oyama on Granville Island! 😉 Continue reading What Does $69 Worth of Sausages Taste Like? Oyama Sausage Co. →
