I've eaten my way through San Diego, Phoenix, some of Napa, and now Long Beach. It's been years since I've written on this blog and since my current job has blocked me from other social networking, I've decided to take up writing on my blog again to waste time at work.
In my hiatus, food blogging has become this super hot thing (who knew?) with Julia and Julia and others following her lead by cooking their way through things. I once thought I would cook my way through a year of vegetables at Chino Farms--yeah, I had more ambition then. I was a wine steward for a brief period and thought I would become a master sommelier--yes, more ambition. Alas I've become a librarian again, in architecture for now. Not exactly food focused but I spend many hours fantasizing about food (more about office food later).
My current residence is in Long Beach and I'll round up my favorite local restaurants:
Benley - A Vietnamese Kitchen -- my favorite close by, go to, I don't want to cook tonight restaurant.
Tracht's --This is all Long Beach has to offer for great fine dining. Service is iffy and the wine list is totally overpriced but they do have the La Quercia Pork.
Frenchy's Bistro --So the decor is a bit dated but their salad lyonnaise is now a craving.
Volcano Burger -I'm drunk...I want a burger
