Tail O’ the Pup is back as a food truck concept starting this Thursday, Sept. 8 in the parking lot of Opening Ceremony at 3 p.m. The food truck menu will serve some original recipes, hot dogs, burgers and specialty items that made its stand famous for over 70 years. This will be the first of several planned locations opening around town with a refurbishment of the original Tail O’ the Pup stand set for debut in Downtown Los Angeles next year.
Baskin-Robbins just launched donut ice cream sandwiches but these aren’t just any donuts being smacked onto ice cream these guys come from Dunkin’ Donuts 😉
FYI …
Manhattan Beach restaurant Doma Kitchen will relocate to a new (and bigger) space at the Marina Marketplace in Marina del Rey. Don’t worry, the European-inspired menu, which includes homemade Borscht, Lagman and Lamb Plov, will still be intact. Stop by the new space starting Sept. 11 when they officially reopen or head to the MB location before then to get your fix.

Must hit up place of the week goes to…
Summer is over and the weather has cooled down. Warm yourself up with some Russian style hot borscht or Khincali, a soup filled dumpling stuffed with beef. Both can be found at Old Village, a Russian/Georgian/Armenian restaurant located inside a strip mall in Glendale.
Finally, just a quick snapshot of the best thing we’ve eaten in the past week…
L.A. Times’ The Taste event took place over Labor Day weekend and we dined three nights in a row eating everything they could put in front of our faces. Pictured below (clockwise) is the smoked hamachi from Kato, pickled daikon “dumpling” from Baroo, a Ethiopian plate by Meals by Gent, tostada by Guisados and last but not least a lobster burger from Slapfish. All delicious!
