Chef Brian Huskey's New Beachside Shack



One thing that I love (but not always have time) 
is going to the beach,
even if it's to sit and watch the waves.

But now I have another reason...



Top Chef fans probably remember Chef Brian Huskey
from Season 11 (New Orleans).
Los Angeles diners may know him from restaurants
such as Picca, Mochica, and Paiche.
Regardless, I got a sneak peak tasting of
his latest venture, Tackle Box (at the beach).

See What Jay Eats...

 Shrimp Sandwich
with Romaine on a squid ink roll
(this was a tasting size sandwich)

 The shrimp sandwich was fresh
with crunchy lettuce,
a good sandwich for a day at the beach.

The house chips with seasoned salt
were really good too.


Salmon Poke
with avocado, crispy rice and citrus dressing.

Nice twist with the citrus flavoring
and avocado.


 Buffalo Cauliflower
with blue cheese and celery

Made to taste like Buffalo wings,
but cauliflower.

I really enjoyed this one...
a must order!
Elote
Roasted corn with spicy cream and Cotija cheese

Nuff said...
(if you follow me, you know I love corn)


Tackle Box has limited seating inside,
which is actually outside.
But we're at the beach, so it's perfect.
Tables in front of the service window
are also available.

What a beautiful view from
Tackle Box!


Chef Brian Huskey and team
ready for the opening.
Best of Luck!

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
