lamb french dip was spectacular
http://www.philippes.com/

friday

had the burger, sweet potato fries, bone marrow, sea smoke pinot noir and some awesome beer from japan called hitachino
the burger comes decorated one way--arugula, onions agro dolce, gruyere--doesn't matter because they don't give you a choice--don't ask for ketchup
well i did have a choice of temp-med rare for me
the sweet pot fries are the best fries i have ever had--perfect in every way--crunchy outside tender inside with out being mealy
http://www.fathersoffice.com/

some bar for some more drinking
and early morning burrito king drunking eating

sunday
lunch at in and out burger-double/bouble animal style =good stuff
dinner at soot bull jeep for korean bbq, my friend prefers places with natural charcoal instead of gas-- great dinner
http://theguide.latimes.com/koreatow...ull-jeep-venue

monday
