Anaheim Packing House




On our way to a Chef Battle in Costa Mesa,
we made a detour to check out the fairly new
Anaheim Packing House, opened on May 31, 2014.


A beautiful area just outside of the East door


Only problem...too many good places to try


Unique spaces just downstairs from the parking lot
So, what is the Anaheim Packing House?

 I don't think I could say it any better...


A very cool, unique space that isn't a food court
or mall, but a casual place filled with food vendors.
Upstairs at the Hammer Workshop and Bar


There's additional seating outside on the South side,
near Orange Tei,
unique seating on two railroad flatbed cars.


The line at Pop Bar caught my eye
and it looked really good too.


 Just don't call it a popsicle!


First choose the flavor you want, including sorbet.

I hate too many good choices 


Next, you have a choice of dippings and toppings.

You can have a full dip, half a dip, or drizzle.

I went for the FULL DIP,
as today was National Milk Chocolate Day!
My choice, Peanut Butter with Milk Chocolate
and hazel nuts. 


And "Hot Chocolate on a Stick"

Warm milk with a piece of dark chocolate on a stick
and you stir until it's the right flavoring you want.

It's chocolate, nuff said...
See What Jay Eats...

You've got chocolate on my peanut butter... 

Regardless, it's Mmmmmm


Each food vendor has a unique space, not like the typical
food court where they all look alike. 


We're on our way to a chef competition
at Scott's Restaurant,
so didn't really want to eat (besides Pop Bar),
until I saw this... 

The "Pork of July!" caught my eye


 Geez, had to order something...


Just do a great grilled cheese sandwich,
no frills, just a good product!

This was a really good grilled cheese...
The Fish and Chips at The Chippy
looked really good.

But on our way to a chef's competition,
so keep moving.

Other places I want to try:

The Kroft:  Their poutine looks amazing 
The Chippy:  Fish and Chips


It will have to wait for another time...


Parking is limited,
but there are other parking lots you can use.

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

Image
I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+. Little Tokyo Sushi at the Little Tokyo Market Place (former Mitsuwa Marketplace) 333 S. Alameda St #100 Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213) 617-0343 Niku (Beef) Udon  $5.00

Recipe: Ahi Masago Poke - May 2012

Image
Where do you get good poke in Southern California? If there is a place, I haven't found it yet. I'm really picky when it comes to poke, so I make my own. Having competed in the Sam Choy Poke Festival on the Big Island in 2003, I got to try all kinds and some with imitation crab and tofu. But, I prefer the simple kine, like in my Ahi Poke recipe. Ahi Masago Poke This is my version of Alicia's Market "Wasabi Ahi Masago Poke" Alicia's Market is my first stop in Honolulu after I leave the airport. First Stop Honolulu: Alicia's Market Yellowfin Tuna I start with 1.5 lbs of chopped sashimi grade tuna My Ingredients Low Salt Soy Sauce White Sesame Oil I start with 4 TBS of soy sauce and 2 TBS of white sesame oil. As you mix in, the tuna will absorb the liquid, you can add more in later. Add in a sweet white onion and green onions The secret is washing the onions with water a
