I took the redeye back Friday night and got back at 6:00am on Saturday.
Los Angeles (really Montebello) was uneventful. As usual it was eat, sleep, work. About the only good thing was putting the meals on an expense account. Even so, with a severe per diem and time constraints, we didn't do anything too exotic.
Went a little crazy at the Mongolian BBQ at the Montebello Mall food court and finally realized that I am getting too old to eat really spicy food.
The place that stands out the most from this trip was
Robins BBQ in Pasadena. I was avoiding pork and the chicken and beef ribs were great. Since we were eating late, we only split onion rings as an appetizer. There was almost too much food and we skipped dessert, but on the way out I saw this large glass goblet like a triple sized champagne glass filled with ice cream and completely covered with chocolate and nuts.
If I can make it there at a decent time, I'd like to try more items. They have a 'garbage can' appetizer sampler served on a metal garbage can lid.
I'm going to be back there for round two the weekend before Thanksgiving and I might have a free day on Sunday.
