You're too early for plate to pitchfork. I enjoy basa-basa wings. If you've never been to Dove Vivi you really need to eat some.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

cool, yelp bookemarked.

I liked Alberta Street last time I was there...might hit up pine state and buy shit. I know Missisipi is another good area like that

anywhere else?

 

[porkchopexpress]

I know you're a fan of pok pok. Their new restaurant, also on Division, just opened I think.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

[MickZagger]

My favorite part of my city is hitting up all rad brewfests every summer.

 

[porkchopexpress]

Yeah. This one is called Sen Yai. It was supposed to be a curry joint, but instead its noodle house. I think it opened last week. They serve Thai breakfast too.

It's a noodle house on division and 34th. I can't figure out the name though. We checked out the menu on sunday and it seemed interesting.

You missed the 90 degree weather by a week, brosiff.

This weekend it's going to be overcast and in the upper60's.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

oh, i got to try that chicken rice pod downtown.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

kind of portlandy, but I had some ice cream from a place yesterday...they churn the ice cream using a bicycle. lol

 

[porkchopexpress]

Nong's? I assumed you had. That is a must try. Then buy a bottle of her sauce to take back to LA.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

yeah, never been to Nongs...always closed when I end up there. I'll mail it and some Burgerville secret sauce.... i never check in anything. :MARIS61:

Yeah, just realized you probably weren't checking anything. She'll ship to you. Or, she shipped some to me, so I assume she still will. If you were in SD and LA I'd just give you a bottle. Since I was paying for shipping I got 4 or 6 of them.

I'm not sure when she sells out by. She has a few locations though, so maybe the others aren't as busy/likely to sell out.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

yeah, I have shipped large quantities of various sauces in the past...so used to having a stockpile. hah
