Taking a sweet young thing t'dine within maybe five miles of the 
vicinity of East Orangethorpe, South Placentia, and Highways 57 and 91.

I don't care about cuisine as I always prefer the unfamiliar. Being a 
San Franciscan, however, ain't much unfamiliar.

Price isn't as important as value. The price, whatever it is, should 
bear some relationship to the quality and quantity. Good service is 
nice but I don't care about the place itself unless it's too noisy 
t'talk.

I know there's a spaghetti place in the vicinity. Does it have other 
food? I also know there's a Denny's there. I try hard to avoid chains 
and franchises regardless of how good they might be.

Not much there. Pizza and maybe Mexican food. You aren't far from the
Brea Mall, but I don't think there's much there either. Maybe Fullerton?

On 60 there is a whole concentration of Chinese and Korean restaurants.
 Try taking 60 west from 57 and exit Nogales.  There is a 99 Ranch mall
just north of the freeway.  Across the mall is a strip mall with two
Sam Woo's, one a cafe style with noodles and rice, the other more up
scale.

Or go south on Nogales and west on Colima Rd.  Plenty of both Chinese
and Korean places.

Today, as an afterthought, she suggested Fullerton. So, to you, I
say "Yes".

Well, explore.  As I suggested, either one of the Sam Woo's.  There is
a place called Riverside.  It's on Colima, east of Nogales about 1
block.  We used to go there for dim sum.

There are also several restaurants inside the 99 Ranch mall.

From the LA Times 25 best food deals:

14. Sesame bread with green onions at Mas' Islamic Chinese, $7.50. Would 
you like the sesame bread? Thick or thin? That's what your server wants 
to know the moment you sit down at Mas'. Each enormous round loaf is 
baked to order so they want to get yours popped into the oven right away. 
Say yes; it's incredibly delicious. The yeasted bread's top crust is 
crunchy, covered with tiny fragrant sesame seeds with just the right 
degree of toastiness. Inside, the flavorful interior has pockets of soft 
green-onion bits. An order is big enough for 10 generous pieces. Mas' 
Islamic Chinese, 601 E. Orangethorpe Ave., Anaheim, (714) 871-9166.

That's what I do here. I won't have time to there: It's one meal,
perhaps never another, there.

Thank you. I presume churros to eat and chocolate to drink. What else
is available?

I would suggest lamb stew, "knife-sliced" noodles.  Just don't ask for
any pork dishes.

Ahem! When you're a stranger in a strange land and invited to have a
snack about an hour after Midnight, you go where you're told. I was
told to go there so I know where it is. Thou dost presume to excess and

Re: SoCal: "There is a place called Riverside."  Huh.  There's also a
place called Oakland.  And in SoCal there's a city and county with that
name and a major street in the SFV -- and if you have to ask what those
initials mean then just fuck off. 

This is fantabulatastic info for those of us who live in Southern
California!  I'll take a bus to Oakland any minute now from here in
Hollywood provided PeterL accompanies me. 

Gosh, doll, to be serious for a moment, is the pho at Pho 79 at -- you
know where it is, you la.eats and Los Angeles restaurant  afficionado --
better than pho in Westminster?   And what do you think of the North
Korean royal court food at Yung Su-san on -- gersh, you know where in LA
it is!  I don't have to tell the location to someone whose eye is so
focused on LA food!

So, please, post your reviews of LOS ANGELES restaurants to la.eats. 
And if you have no fucking clue about LA restaurants -- as clearly you
don't -- then just stop.

STOP.

Thank you.

Riverside is the name of the restaurant.

Maybe the two of you plus Mark Foley and Ted Haggard can have that orgy
that Ted wanted with half a dozen 18-22 year old male athletes.  Oh, and
I guess we have to add Mark's and Ted's male prostitutes to the party. 
So make it a party of 12 or so. Does that sound right?

This restaurant is in Los Angeles County?  Where?  And if not, why are
Angelenos being informed about what sounds like a crap restaurant? 
Should I post about everything I eat in Los Angeles to San Francisco,
Oakland, Berkeley, Seattle, New York, Honolulu, San Diego, London,
Paris, Milan, Athens, Hong Kong, etc., food sites?

Dimitri, you're being a total asshole once again.

Arne:  when I said "there is a place" I am referring to the name of a
restaurant, as we were talking about restaurants in that area.  I
specifically referred to the street Colima, exit from 60 at Nogales,
etc., etc.

I don't have to ask what those initials mean.

I don't know what you mean by that.  Riverside is the name of a
restaurant I was trying to recommend to Iconoclast.  I was very
specific about the street and the exit from the freeway.  I don't know
why you are getting all worked up.

Why would I post my reviews of LA restaurants to la.eats, which is a

That's really funny.  It's like George Bush calling Kerry a draft
dogger.

Arne, I don't know.  If you read my post, you'd notice I gave the
freeway exit and street for the restaurant.  OK I didn't give the
street number, assuming Icono knows how to use google.  But I guess
that's not simple enough for you.  In any event, I answered Icono's
question.  He seems to know how to find these places.  So why don't you
go back into your hole and....

STOP being an asshole.

So why the fuck did you post this craptastic info to LA.eats? 
"Riverside" means very specific things to people in Southern
California.  It's a long street that stretches for 20 miles or more in
the city of LA, it's a city all by itself, it's a county. That you would
casually drop the name "Riverside" into LA.eats without any
qualification and then later pretend that you were talking about a
Frisco restaurant is pretty stunning.  Are you as stupid as I think you
must be?

What a stupid answer.


We in Los Angeles and Southern California as a whole use or notice
numerical freeway exits where?   Be specific.


Tell me where on the Ventura Freeway that an exit is touted by number
that anyone who lives here knows.  Exit 117 is coming up.  Well, that
could be White Oak or Cahuenga.  It doesn't happen.  Turn-off for the
110 junction?   Ummm, what's that?

Howsabout on  the San Diego Freeway?

Hell, what about the Harbor Freeway?

And the Pasadena Freeway?  What are the numbers?  And what are the
numbers that anyone except an asshole like you knows?


You're just a Frisco-wannabee moron.

You are the poster child of the commercial "your brain on drugs."
Please point out where I said anything about numerical freeway exits?
If you read my original reply, which you obviously didn't, I told Icono
the name of the freeway exit and the cross street for the restaurant.
Duh!

Jesus this is like talking to a 4 year old.  When adults talk, the
context is important.  So within the context of my reply, Riverside
refers to the name of a restaurant which I was recommending to Icono.
It means the name of a restaurant, to most people, even people in LA.
Except of course not to you, brain on drugs.

I don't know what Frisco is, but where did I "pretend" that I was
talking about a "Frisco" restaurant?  Yes it's stunning alright, the
sheer stupidity of your posts and your total lack of reading
capabilities.

Yes it is in Los Angeles County, Colima and Nogales, if you knew how to 
use one of the mapping services you would see that it is in Rowland 
Heights, you know far from your westside centric universe.

If you knew how to drive and didn't take only the Big Blue Bus you might 
find some good restaurants in Rowland Heights.

California is finally following the national standard and we are starting 
to number the exits. It will be much easier to know that exit 112 is two 
miles from exit 110 then is Nogales one or two exits from Azusa and how 
far away it is so one can start moving over early instead of cutting 
across four lanes because you missed the name on the sign because you 
were flipping of the asshole you jumped across three lanes because he 
wanted Azusa.

Numbering is starting to show up, it will be much easier for tourist when 
they are told Get off at exit XXX which happens to be Katella so they can 
get to Mouseland.

http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/signtech/calnexus/

You know I do miss taking the Pomona to the Golden State to the Pasadena. 
Now I have to take the 60 to the 5 to the 110.

If you spent more time reading other things, you might learn something 
and we might see less of your lame posts.

Doll, he was posting about a Frisco or Frisco-area restaurant to
LA.eats.  What is the relevence to Angelenos of a restaurant in Richmond
going belly up?  Or one in Dublin?  Why should I care about the best
kareoke bar in the Embarcadero?  Tell me why any person living in Los
Angeles should give a fuck about some restaurant in Santa Rosa.  Why
should I read about a dismal restaurant in northern California on
LA.eats?

Hmmm?  My point is simply for you guys to stop cross-posting to LA.eats.

Stop it.

Dearest Bobbie-Barrette,

As I have written you lots of times before, I am HIV negative.  I always
have been and always will be.  But that hasn't stopped your trash-talk. 
What's your focus on gay men's sexual behavior anyway?  

By the way, are you still living with that Mexican "gardener" you have
living in the garage behind the trash cans?  The one you have sex with
every now and then?

I neither know nor care. Although I've never lived there, I'm familiar
with the above roads as well as the Artesia Freeway, Pacific Coast
Highway, Santa Monica Freeway, Golden State Freeway, and possibly
others that don't come to mind. The number I know is the
Hollywood/Ventura as it's the same as Bayshore.

> >  And what are the numbers that anyone except an asshole like you knows?

I can write "101" or "110" or "010" or "011" having no idea whether any
is right or wrong. I can write Jaliwud or Holiwod or Holliewould or any
of many other spellings and know that, perhaps none is correct, each
might be accurate for the road to take. Digital designations don't do
dat.

Huh?  Is Icono on drugs?  I know that the 101 is the Hollywood Freeway
southbound from downtown LA until it rather dramatically becomes the
Ventura Freeway (still as the 101) through that whole Cahuenga Pass
deal.  Fun fact: my father had to drive over Cahuenga Pass -- pronounce
that correctly, idiot moron -- from the San Fernando Valley to go to
work before the HOLLYWOOD FREEWAY was finished and got to see a whole
lot of the outdoor filming of "Spartacus" in the early 1960's on the
slopes of the Universal lot.

Fun Question: What is the significance of, and where is, Campo de
Cahuenga?  (Hint for the location: cartoons.)

Well, I used to drive Cahuenga Blvd. while they were building the
Hollywood freeway.  BTW, the streetcar tracks had to be removed to put
the freeway in.  Campo de Cahuenga is directly across Lankershim Blvd
from Universal Studios and adjacent to the Red Line station.  It is the
place where the Capitulation at Cahuenga took place and also known as
the Treaty of Cahuenga that ended the secession of California from
Mexico and it is the unofficial Birthplace of California.

Bravo!  I live two blocks away from a former diagonal pass-through for
the streetcars against the right-angle grid (it's now an alley, although
it has a street name) -- from Hollywood Blvd. to Santa Monica Blvd. --
but I'm really happy that they're going to reuse the rights-of-way on
Exposition for the new trolley from downtown to Santa Monica.
