Rocco’s 29 Tavern (New Menu) - Media Preview



At the media preview of 
“Rocco’s 29 Tavern”
on Sundays and Monday Nights


Where does the “29” reference 
come from?

NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson’s
number during his playing days,
beginning with the LA Rams.


What a better day to have a preview 
than during Monday Night Football...


If it’s good enough for a Hall of Famer...


Eric Dickerson sharing insight 
on creating the menu from
growing up in Sealy, Texas.

With Vince Ferragamo 

I met him a couple of years ago at
a chefs dinner at The Farm in Pomona,
 a great guy!


So of course I had to have a slice of 
pizza with Vince’s 2016 Super Tuscan.
(Sorry for the bad pic)


Overall, a great place for food and drink
AND to root on the Rams!
(Available on Sundays and Monday Nights during football season)

Look for Rocco’s Taverns in 
Studio City, Culver City, Pasadena 
and Westwood.




Thank You!

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

Stokes Purple® Wave Pie by Lauren Ko

Image
Getting stoked for the holidays can be delicious! I was invited to a Frieda’s  Specialty Produce event, featuring cookbook author, Lauren Ko. Her cookbook “Pieometry” is a wonderful book of pie recipes  and techniques that even a baking novice like me can do to make incredible  looking pies to impress my friends  and family. But First, a little bit about Frieda’s… I’m familiar that Frieda’s is a specialty produce  company, but I didn’t know that Frieda was the  first to introduce Chinese Gooseberry to the U.S. in 1962.  (before my time) After changing the name to Kiwifruit, the item took off! (Did you know?  I didn’t…) Frieda introduced other exotic items, maybe I’ll do a video at a later time. Frieda’s Specialty Produce  is a second generation, female owned, family business in Southern California. But tonight, it’s all about the Stokes Purple® Sweet Potato. Grown in California, this is a denser sweet potato  with good flavor. Just look for the Stokes Purple® Sweet Potato label Lauren
