Jay Eats Worldwide

Just outside of the gates of Universal Studios, lies a brand new secret supper club. Located next door to the famous  Larrabee Studios ,  home of the world's top artists, producers and mixers, such as Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys, Madonna,  RollingStones, Lady Gaga, and Bruno Mars, just to name a few. Behind this nondescript door, lies  INTRO Art Gallery & Chef's Table   What's INTRO you ask? The space is part dining room and part art gallery. The room opened in December 2016  and features different artists on a rotating basis. Who's behind this hot new supper club and art gallery?

If you follow me, you know I like the new SpireWorks ®  first store in Westwood. Read my Westwood SpireWorks® post HERE Now that their Eagle Rock location has opened, (Grand Opening on January 24, 2017) this one is a lot closer to me. Which means,  I can come in just for one of my favorites, Nitro Brew Coffee. What's Nitro Brewed Coffee? It's coffee that has been infused with nitrogen gas. Nitro brewed coffee is creamier and a richer  taste.   IMO, the acidity is lower and no need to add cream (if you like it that way). Yup, SpireWorks® has Nitro Brewed Coffee, BUT, they've taken it up a notch.

Last year about this time, actually December 23, 2015, a new ramen restaurant opened in Pasadena.  Happy 1st Anniversary! Ramen Tatsunoya on Fair Oaks Ave, just North of Colorado Blvd. If you don't remember my post from last year's opening, read  HERE   See What Jay Eats... Seaweed Chashu Wraps Great texture, the chashu (pork) was a bit over done for my liking, and had a nice kick. A good side dish Koku Tonkotsu Ramen Rich pork broth with a dash of spicy miso I love a good tonkotsu (pork broth) and this one is one of my favorites. Or maybe I like it cause it comes with thin noodles... I would've had another noodle, except I was at Smorgasburg earlier in the day. As gift to celebrate their anniversary, Ramen Tatsunoya gave a spoon to all if their guests Ramen Tatsunoya 16 N Fair Oaks Avenue Pasadena, CA  91103 (626) 432-1768 Arigato! Tomoko Imade Dyen Mi...

You might have seen the Pink Taco Truck L.A. around town at various events. Not your typical taco truck, using local and farm-fresh ingredients. I was invited to the media preview at the Pink Taco restaurant on Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood. They had their taco truck parked outside. Pink Taco Truck LA aka "The L.A. Woman" You probably remember the song, "L.A. Woman" by the Doors. Did I just show my age??? Tonight's Menu on the 32" monitor at the back of the truck With a lot of goodies to try, and since I'm a taco guy, it had to be a taco order. While waiting for my order, I got to sample the Watermelon aqua fresca. I'm ready to eat now. See What Jay Eats... My tacos were ready, so it was time to go inside the restaurant and try some Pink Taco Truck tacos.
