Surehiro is great. It's two doors down from my favorite Little Tokyo bar. Used to go there frequently when I was a smoker. The proprietor is obsessed with American Westerns and lets people smoke in there until he gets a fine, at which point he makes everyone stop until the penalty period of the fine runs out. I'm sure I've mentioned it here before.


Did your fiancee quit smoking, or are you just one of those annoying ex-smokers who has decided that only his smoking feelings matter?

She quit before the last time we saw you. I actually still like being around smokers. I find the smell pleasant, but I'm a pretty nostalgic guy. Considering taking it up again.

I maintained my fatass physique in college by eating at the Sanamluang in Pomona and:

I guess it's originally a San Diego mini-chain, but they have multiple locations in L.A. County. Have no idea if it's actually tasty or merely good enough for a fatass college kid.

slightly ot, but a 'dirt food' appreciation thread that includes the world outside los angeles would be great, imo.

Dude, they got rid of their fish burrito & fish tacos years ago. I was devastated and would stubbornly try to order it every time anyways.

Hmm. Have never been to the one out there. They definitely stopped serving fish tacos & burritos at the Pomona and W. Covina locations many years ago (close to a decade).

I have no experience with Polish food, but I live so close to that Polka place that I'm going to have to try it.
