Congratulatios! It's nice to see that a pizza place will be opening that someone's soul will be poured into it. YEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

If I were to ever be charged for toasting, I would burn such establishment to the ground.

Yay! Only a six hour drive from LA. I'm down.

I love these.

I wish I had never read this post so that I would never know that there are people in this world that would put time, effort and money into creating such wicked products.

My favorite fast food item is the sometimes-there chicken fajita from the McDonald's dollar menu. It tastes like pure junk.

Failing that, I default to Chipotle ANYTHING.

Pix or it didn't happen.

xwafflesx, some families cannot afford to pack their kid's lunches. They need the school lunches. DCPS generally stays open during snow days and such because otherwise kids won't get to eat lunch (and maybe breakfast too).

I was a little annoyed eating here that they didn't throw the toppings on the burger and wrapped it in paper. That meant I had to unwrap the burger and finish assembling my burger. I ordered the items... PUT THEM ON THE BURGER!

I thought it was a good burger, not great... nothing like UMAMI which is the Gold Star Winner!

I have been to Pizzeria Delfina once and it is my top place on the West coast.

There is a place called Best Fish Tacos here in LA. I had been reading about it for months, all the while going to other places and trying their fish tacos, always being unsatisfied... and then I finally went to Best Fish tacos and it was so good. It was so so so good. In fact, it was the best!

I went there last night with three friends and we all agreed it was incredible. I had the SoCal burger and was completely floored from the first bite. It was really really really really good. From the first bite to the last morsel on my plate. I am not being hyperbolic. The burger is better than that Father's Office burger which is currently the populist king of gourmet burgers in Los Angeles. One friend got the SoCal and agreed, and the other got the 3xPork and insisted I try some, but I was too full.

That being said, I agree with the general feeling about the fries. They taste good, but are more steak fry-ish than burger place fries. It just goes against what I was expecting. Furthermore, while the homemade ketchup provides a good rich tomatoey flavor, I was expecting ketchup and not something as natural. However, the onion rings are nice and light and tasty (which I think are a new addition to the menu, which I took with me to boast).

Overall, considering they've been open for a month, the truly biggest grip I have is their parking lot is too small! I was still thinking about the meal up until I went to sleep and I cannot offer enough praise. Also, above, when I say what I was "expecting," I was not expecting the burger to be so good, but I was very pleasantly surprised. With the fries and ketchup, it was different and made me think about how it was different, rather than the burger which made me think about how AWESOME it was.

In a town where there are so many eating establishments that strive for mediocrity, it is always refreshing when a place attempts to be great and achieves it. I want to bath in umami (if that's possible).

This is great! MORE KOGI!!!!!!
