Must hit up place of the week goes to…
Shibumi in Downtown Los Angeles received a positive review from the Goldster in the L.A. Times and now I am craving cucumbers, sashimi and anything fermented. I recommend you go now this place is going to be extremely popular.
Finally, just a quick snapshot of the best thing we’ve eaten in the past week…
We sampled some outstanding vendors while at Brunchcon over the weekend. From the tastiest “Detox Juice” we ever had from Green Grotto Juice Bar , a super cute croque madame from Poppy + Rose to something called a “Waffle Pop” from Waffling Around food truck. Good times.
