Yup,
that was that udon place, the Pantry in downtown, and this italian place i go to everday for lunch now.

at the Pantry, our usual waiter would just see us walk in, bring us our usual drinks, and list the things we usually order

Nope, garden grove has some good places like john mentioned, Lighttown House is one of my favorite over there. Little more pricey that the others, but its a lot better quality meat.

It's ok john, we know you're the all-knowing around here. Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Persian, whatever, I'll eat just about anything

Mmm Dduk bo ssam sounds good right about now too

it's all good.. i've gone to a place in covina one time where they didnt bother to talk to me for 15 minutes. i watched people coming after me and getting seated.
I was supposed to meet up with a friend who was late. i waited for 15 minutes then started *feeling* down about it, so i left.

I've contracted PW'ing disease..

Ouch...yeah I think I would've left too.

Yeah, there could be some bad korean food places, but most places are somewhat decent.

LoL
TKD
I remember I had that while I was at korean school...
fond memories...
they entered me into atournament as a friggin' white belt.
thought to myself what am I supposed to do?
rules were "no punching to the face, but you can kick to the face..."

First match, i get matched up w/ a purple belt...fool punches me in the face and gave me a black eye...
before ref could disqualify him I got pissed off and jump kicked him in the face and knocked him out.

officially it was scored a DQ win for me, but whatever...ended up with a black eye

but took third in my one and only tournament HAHA

A sig, eh?
Anybody wanna make me one? I'm too lazy , and my car is nothing to show off

yeah about once a month or so he'll tell me that the meal's on him.
Which I tell him to stop doing that cuz I'll stop going there.
then he says "but you're here everyday Steve..."

I appreciate the offer, but I don't mind paying for good food and good service.
the gesture was enough for me from him and shows that he appreciates my business and patronage

one of these days guys, we'll have to head over to my pop's burger joint and grab some burgers and chili cheese fries. Working there for a couple years is where i gained my 30 pounds

!Xoible · 08-06-2007, 02:17 PM

it's a one of a kind (not chain) burger joint in Baldwin Park. been there for years...i think it used to be a Hat back in the day, but we've owned it for over 20 years now.
Good eats there...and usually we whip up some weird monstrosity like a double pastrami bacon chili cheeseburger...

our office admin buys a $1k worth of food every week. we have food here more than we've had at home for the past month man.
