Arcadia, CA: Din Tai Fung Dumpling House - "Meh"

2008-04-09T15:21:21-07:00

Review of Din Tai Fung Dumpling House at 1108 S Baldwin Ave, Arcadia, CA 91007-7508

Native Taiwanese say that the Din Tai Fung (DTF) in Taipei is a tourist trap, mainly pandering to Japanese tourists. Its soup dumpling is a poor Japanese man’s version of a real soup dumpling from Shanghai. Most people agree that the Taiwanese DTF branch is better tha...

Culver City, CA: Honey's Kettle - "Eh.."

2008-04-09T14:31:59-07:00

Review of Honey's Kettle at 9537 Culver Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232

by hippo2:

Honey’s Kettle Fried Chicken wishes it were Stroud’s. HKFC is tasty but tasty on the greasy side.The crust is translucent because of the chicken chubbies and frying oil, which can be either a good or bad thing depending on which day you go. However, I bel...

Culver City, CA: Tito's Tacos - "Yucks!"

2008-04-09T14:18:13-07:00

Review of Tito's Tacos at 11222 Washington Pl, Culver City, CA 90230

by hippo2:

You stand in a long claustrophobic line for 30 minutes, and what do you get? 3-minute tacos as washed out as the perpetually unemployed actors insisting on Tito’s brilliance. The tacos had tasteless, cheap stringy meat, soggy shells, and balled-up processed cheese (as if a six-year-old h...

Nashville, TN: Pancake Pantry - "Yums! "

2008-04-09T14:16:20-07:00

Review of Pancake Pantry at 1796 21st Ave S, Nashville, TN 37212-3704

by hippo2:

Eating at Pancake Pantry or How I Learned to Love Pancakes:I wasn’t a big fan of pancakes before I visited Pancake Pantry. From the plain-Jane pancakes in the college dining hall to the publicly-glorified pancakes at LA’s Griddle Café’, no tasty little flapjack had ever shaken me out o...

Fullerton, CA: Lee's Sandwiches - "Yucks!"

2008-04-09T01:36:16-07:00

Review of Lee's Sandwiches at 1028 S Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92832

by hippo2:

Granted, it’s cheap fast food, but Lee’s Sandwiches offered some of the most vulgar food that I have ever eaten. There are so many more authentic, fresh, and delicious Vietnamese sandwich places around southern California (many selling sandwiches for even cheaper). In my opinion, Lee’s strengt...

Kansas City, MO: Stroud's - "Yums! "

2008-04-09T01:18:46-07:00

Review of Stroud's at 5410 Ne Oak Ridge Rd, Kansas City, MO 64119-2905

by hippo2:

Eating at Stroud’s is nothing short of an Event, a transcendental, mythic experience that absorbs the senses, stirs the soul, and seduces the tummy. Foodgasms abound! The Stroud Experience entraps you almost immediately. The setting of the restaurant is reminiscent of a mid-19th/early 20th c...
