The Park’s Finest (Echo Park)

Posted on December 27, 2012 by Rachael

Due to my own self-imposed rules of not posting more than one media event per week, I get a little behind. Back-logged with media invitationals is not a terrible aspect of ones life, though I do feel guilty for being unable to have a quicker turn around time. However, bloggers posting about their “freebies” is a sore spot for a lot of people, one that I have not addressed head-on as of yet (and don’t worry, I will) and adhering to the “one media event per week” is a rule I am going to stick to for the time being.

All right, enough with the idle rambling – onto the food! Back in October, I was invited to The Park’s Finest, a barbecue joint in Echo Park owned and operated by the Concordia family, along with their life-long neighborhood pals, the Bautista’s, Pajimula’s, and the Araquel’s, who tell their story in better words than I can ever do justice:

“Established in 2009 as a small-scale catering company, the family business has grown each year. With support from family, the block, and community, The Park’s Finest was able to open its doors to the public in January 2012. The Park’s Finest now functions as an eatery near Downtown L.A. that provides fast casual convenience with a sit-down dining experience.”

We all sat family style, cozying up to strangers; familiar faces in the home grown food scene of L.A., bloggers, Yelpers, journalists and family friends alike. In fact, I invited my big brother to accompany me this evening, which deepened my enjoyment of the evening as I could relate to the feelings of family that The Park’s Finest wanted to emphasize.

As if their enthusiasm and passion for their food and business wasn’t clear enough, photo albums were made (pictured above) for every guest to help underline the message of family and community which The Park’s Finest stands for. I still have my copy, and I intend to keep it as long as possible. Detailed touches like these are soul-bearing, and I respect the level of vulnerability these good people showed a handful of strangers by sharing their story.

Coconut Beef
smoked chuck roll, cubed, and stewed in a coconut cream

My. God. I want it. All of it. I really could have had this dish all night long and been a happy camper. I’m not going to lie; it doesn’t look significant in the least, but this dish packs a hell of a wallop in flavor.

San Pablo Pulled Pork
sixteen-hour slow-roasted pork shoulder

Though I am generally not a fan of pulled pork, once I experimented with the two sauces available to us – a sweet and tangy vinegar sauce and a savory slightly sweet sauce – this heap of pork was transformed. Secret is in the sauce!

Smoked Banana Leaf Salmon
olive oil, lemon pepper, pink himalayan salt, house pepper blend, house garlic blend

Salmon will never be my favorite. Unless it is in raw sashimi/sushi form, I am not a fan.

Ann’s Cornbread Bibingka
Cornmeal/Rice flour mix, baked on a banana leaf

As I prefer cornbread to be on the sweet side, this was a home run for me. I especially enjoyed the sugary crusted top.

Eagle Rock Brewery Manifesto Wit

I think the description of this is so incredibly fantastic that I cannot top it: “Belgian-style ‘wit-bier’ or white ale has a light wheat base and is typically spiced with coriander and citrus peel. for a unique twist, we add rose petals as well. manifesto wit is pale straw-colored and slightly hazy in appearance, with invigorating citrus, floral, and spice aromatics.the light body and subtle sweetness of this beer accentuate the peppery flavor produced by the yeast.these lively flavors, combined with the slight tartness in the finish, create a crisp and refreshing experience. it’s sunshine in a glass!”

Aside: I want to get paid to write these kinds of descriptions. I don’t know if I truly tasted that many levels of awesomeness, but it was a mighty tasty beer nonetheless.

Ligaya Veggie Medly
zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms and red pepper

My brother was just about dying from meat overload when these arrived, satisfying his desire to balance out his meal.

Mt. Malindang Pork Ribs
seasoned, slow-smoked St. Louis style pork ribs and rib tips

A touch too fatty for my liking. Ribs are tricky, and I’m particular about them.

Beef Tri-Tip
tender, deli-thin season-crusted sirloin beef paired with homemade horseradish sauce

When tri-tip is done well, as these were, it can be positively magical for the tastebuds. This sampling as one of my favorites, along with the horseradish sauce.

Candy Coated Ham
coated with signature BBQ sauce every half hour for 12 hours

Quite easily, the best ham I have ever eaten. Tender, juicy ham with a richly sweet sauce…it will convert all of you “Honey Baked Ham” purists in a heartbeat.

Elota
corn off the cob served with mayo, fresh parmesan cheese & cayenne pepper

When I taste something like elota and my first thought is: “Oh, Jeebus, how do I replicate this glorious dish?” I know someone in that kitchen is doing something right. I really need to gussy up my corn dishes.

Beef Short Rib
a smoked, seasoned, meaty beef rib paired with house own crema horseradish sauce

Unless it’s lamb, ribs really aren’t my thing. I find them to be prone to dryness and all-too easily caught in ones teeth. I only had the smallest of bites of this beef rib, and cannot truly comment on it.

Gabi Greens

I wasn’t into these Filipino tubers, as they tasted like bitter collared greens, but my brother heaped them onto his plate. Dig in, bro.

Turkey

I’m not one for turkey outside of the obligatory Thanksgiving holiday, but I would dig into a stack like this one with no problem. Every piece was moist and bursting with flavor of its own natural basting. I imagine this turkey is the kind of turkey Ben Franklin envisioned for our great country when he suggested the noble beast be our avian representative.

Cornbread Pudding with Salted caramel top

The dessert was provided by friends at Crème Caramel LA, known for their gourmet approach to bread pudding. This gorgeous dish left me curious to want to explore more of CCL’s offerings.

It was at this point the good folks at The Park’s Finest realized we could no longer consume any more of their fine fare. In a stroke of mercy and genius, they packed up the two remaining meats and passed around doggy-bags to take home. In them were the hot link medley (smoked, sliced spicy sausages with sweet filipino longanisa) and chicken wings. These, along with candied ham were taken home and enjoyed for my lunch the next day.

My Top Picks: Coconut Beef, Candied Ham, Cornbread, Tri-Tip and Elota. I could have died from the food coma this night gave me, but after having tasted these five items in particular, I would have gone with a smile on my face. I have every intention of recommending The Park’s Finest to all who ask, and returning in the (hopefully, soon) future.

Appetizers and Drinks at Trader Vic’s

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Rachael

I’m not really a big fan of Polynesian food. Neither is Steffie or my sister. What we are game for, however, are tropical fruity drinks on a Friday afternoon. Despite being armed with the knowledge that splitting any sort of restaurant coupon rarely saves me any money, I still bought the $25 for $50 worth of food and drinks for Trader Vic’s via Living Social. Between parking, tips and the down payment of the “coupon” itself I shelled out approximately $35. Well, surprise, surprise for me! I did save some change.
Our bill spilled over about $14.00 (including tax), which Stef and Annette paid the difference of (plus their share of the tip – which of course, we tipped on the $74 and not the $14 because that would be shitty). The good staff of Trader Vic’s also applied happy hour prices to the drinks and snacks that applied.
This is what we got for our monies:

Bahia – light rum, coconut and pineapple ($10, $6 happy hour)

This was tasty, though a little too much ice for my liking. Could have definitely used more coconut. Still, for a happy hour drink, I’d order this again.

Mango Mai Tai ($10, $6 happy hour)

While I find Mai Tai’s to be the most hideous cocktail in creation no matter what flavor they dress it up in, my sister seemed to enjoy this drink immensely. It was her first Mai Tai experience.

Chicken Wings ($9, $5 happy hour)

Steffie ordered these and I think she got Kung Pao flavor. Schezwan would have been hotter and BBQ would have been, well, BBQ. Both Stef and I were pleasantly surprised how well these little morsels were prepared. The flavoring was all in a light with-a-slight-kick marinade and not some sticky, gloppy sauce and the meat was juicy and tender.

Spicy Spider Roll – crispy soft shell crab, cucumber, avocado ($9)

This would have been excellent if it weren’t for that nasty sauce on top, which was neither spicy nor even appetizing, really. It was thick, cumbersome and sweet. I would not have ordered this had the menu accurately described the roll. The only spice was from the wasabi I added.

Tiki Bowl – light & dark rums, brandy, almond & orange juice ($20, serves two)

This the the only picture that adequately depicts the quantity of booze these two ladies sucked up in their novelty straws. I was pretty gung-ho to try one of these multiple-persons drinks but the choices were very uninspiring. I wasn’t a fan of the Tiki Bowl, but Annette & Steffie were and that’s what counts. Steffie threw the towel in 3/4ths the way in and it was up to my sister to make sure nothing went to waste.

Peach Tree Punch ($10), Crispy Calamari ($9, $5 happy hour)

The drink was with “light rum, flavors of peaches and oranges and a soft southern whisper of coconut” and though I could have used more peach flavor, this was delightfully refreshing and strong enough that I took my time with it. I think Annette ended up finishing it, though.
The crispy calamari is what I should have ordered in lieu of the lackluster sushi. It was supposed to come with wasabi mayonnaise according to the website, but I don’t recall if this was listed on the menu at the time or not. Regardless, it came with a very disappointing sauce that I’m assuming is supposed to be marinara but tasted like jarred spaghetti sauce.
HOWEVER! In a surprising twist of culinary fate, the calamari was cooked so incredibly well that all it required for optimal flavoring was a squeeze of a fresh lemon wedge, which was already provided. I was amazed to find that their calamari was not disgustingly breaded fried but lightly battered – so when I tired of the batter I simply removed the exterior and enjoyed lemon kissed calamari by itself. Delicious.

Would I return to Trader Vic’s? Maybe, but only with the good company of my fellow lushes for drinks and snacks, or one big entree to share.

Would I recommend Trader Vic’s? If you’re into Polynesian food and tropical drinks, absolutely. They don’t skimp on the booze, even when you’re doubling down with a coupon during happy hour and everyone was pleasant, informative and attentive.

Sneak Preview: Comikaze Expo

Posted on November 2, 2011 by Rachael

The high of Halloween excitement wearing off? Trying to figure out where you can wear that Doctor Who costume you so lovingly pieced together? Well, come on down to the Los Angeles Convention Center for Comikaze Expo! It’s not too late to grab your tickets – which are SO cheap it’s almost suspicious (but it’s not really, they’re legit).

Guests include: Mark Hamill, Stan Lee, Elvira (in her LAST official convention appearance!), Jhonen Vasquez, Ernest Borgnine, Tippi Hedron and the entire cast of ALL THAT! (minus Kenan Thompson) and a bajillion trillion other guests.

Panels I am looking forward to attending:

Saturday

Screening of the new THE WOMAN IN BLACK trailer (11:00am, room 306AB) – This movie looks so fantastically creepy! This would only be better if Daniel Radcliffe were there in person to introduce it.

Uncool Japan: The Trials and Tribulations of Japanese Pop Culture (1:00pm, room 3) – Though I’m no longer actively watching anime or reading manga, there will always be my inner 17 year old, curious about the Japanese culture and how they incorporate the otaku while still making them taboo.

Character Studies: Geek Girls in Popular Culture (2:00pm, room 4)
While I see there are some of the same names that were at the Geek Girl Con panel of the same name, I am hoping for a more well-rounded, not so panelist-creations-only focused discussion.

DC COMICS NEW 52 Q&A (5:00pm, room 1)
I’m very curious who is going to come out for this and what is going to be said.

There is a Doctor Who panel on Saturday at 6:00pm in Room 2 but whose description has been diced off in the pdf of the programming schedule. I’ll probably be there.

Sunday

Fraggles, Froud and a Frog Named Kermit: Bringing Jim Henson to Comics (2:00pm, room 306AB)
I love anything to do with Jim Henson, bonus points for my friend Tim co-hosting this fun panel.

Tournament of the Nerds! (3:00pm, room 4)
Tournament of Nerds! pits two fans against each other to battle it out in heated debate. THIS CAN ONLY BE HILARIOUS.

Comics and Comics (5:00pm, room 306AB)
Stand-up comedians performing geek related sets. This could turn out to be a serious abuse of pandering, but I may pop in, depending if I feel like attending the cosplay contest.

Tickets are dirt cheap – $12 per day, $20 for the weekend. Who the hell can top that? Nobody! BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!

Are you going? What programming events are you looking forward to? I hope to see you all there!

Review: R23 (Downtown Los Angeles)

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Rachael

I’m not afraid to eat alone. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, I’m always amazed to find that many people do not, cannot, will not venture out on their own, especially to restaurants, for fear of being pegged as lonely or without friends. For me, this is a foreign insecurity; I don’t give a shit what other diners think of me. I’m too busy eating.

As was the case when I purchased a Groupon to R23, a Japanese restaurant located in downtown Los Angeles. Blocks shy from being situated in Little Tokyo, in what is now I believe called the “warehouse district” I made my reservation as early as dinner could be made, simply for the fact that not too long ago the area in question was not somewhere I would venture to in broad daylight, let alone the evening. The Gold Line light rail that now travels into Little Tokyo allows me freedom and ease I could only hope for when I was a teenager and trekking out to Little Tokyo on a weekly basis.

R23 is three blocks in from Alameda, in an old brick building that was once a railroad loading dock that splits its space with an art gallery. The restaurant is modest but comfortable, with chairs constructed of what appeared to be upcycled cardboard. I sat at the sushi bar, situated along the back. There was no booming “IRASSHAI!” from the staff, but a very serene welcome in soothing tones reserved for upscale places. Not your usual sushi joint.

The sushi chef was reserved and kept to himself mostly, never really engaging with customers other than fulfilling their orders. He wasn’t unfriendly, he just didn’t initiate any conversation – again, I’m not quite used to this more quiet sushi chef. It was different.

>
Oyster Shooter $9

Easily the best oyster shooter I’ve had in my life. With sake, quail egg, masago, and scallion. I began my meal with this and it was the ideal ZING! to awaken my taste buds.

R23 style Crispy Rice $15

Spicy tuna and avocado atop a bed of crispy rice with wasabi tartar sauce. A little heavy for one person, and I could do with thinner beds of rice, but otherwise very tasty.

Beef Sashimi $15

Ever since I ate at Guu, I’ve been on the hunt for its Los Angeles equivalent in beef carpaccio/sashimi. I wouldn’t trust just any place, of course, to feed me properly prepared raw beef. R23 did not deliver in full; it was not thin or raw as I was expecting, but still good. Just not worthy of the name sashimi. It was plentiful with a tangy sweet sauce. Nice portion size and the onions, mixed greens and wedge of lemon were appreciated additions.

Tsubugai Conch + Asparagus $15

Sauteed with creamy soy sauce. Wow, warm. Who saw that coming? A very flavorful sauce, creamy but light. The asparagus was just the perfect green to pair with both sauce and conch. The conch is chewy in texture, definitely not for everyone but I enjoyed it. I would like to try conch cold next time.

Uni $12

My love for uni knows no bounds, save that I will only ever order it in a restaurant that has its sushi in order because I feel like this is something that can go horribly wrong in lesser hands. The uni was luxurious in both satin smooth texture and burst of flavor. Every time I eat uni, I swear I’ve been sexually harassed…just a bit.

Hamachi Sushi $7

A clean finish to a lovely meal.

My voucher was $25 for $50 worth of food, but a little quick math will tell you that I went over by $23.00. R23 is definitely not a cheap eat, but a place to spoil yourself or someone you love.

Would I return to R23? Possibly. The food is good, but due to the prices, I would likely return with someone to split the food and cost.

Would I recommend R23? Yes, a good spot for dates and small parties looking to treat themselves.

Event: The Los Angeles Times Travel + Adventure Show

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Rachael

Thanks to KCET, the local public television station, I won a pair of free tickets to the Los Angeles Times Travel + Adventure Show. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to get out, talk travel, enter giveaways, watch global dance routines, listen to speakers and network with other folks in the travel business. I’m a writer who writes about the city she lives in, but I’d like to branch out and be able to write about various parts of the world – particularly Ireland. <--- hint hint

I took my mother along with me and I convinced her to buy a day pass for the L.A. Metro Rail – our local light rail/subway system. She parked her car at a free lot in town and off we went! Admittedly, she was a bit overwhelmed but I was an excellent guide (how can I not be? I don’t drive!) and I got her to the L.A. Convention Center with expert ease.

Welcome!

Traditional Irish Dancing

blue13 busting out their Bollywood moves

Bollywood style dance performance from blue13

Belly-dancers

Real Zip Line!

Highlights…
- Receiving awesome vouchers for the Soleil Day Spa in Palm Springs ~ so mom and I may just have to indulge in an off-season weekend of pampering!

- Meeting Mary Anne Been of Jetset Extra

- Being interviewed by a Balinese TV anchor for Bali news segment

- Meeting author and travel journalist Linda Ballou

- Learning some helpful travel tips during the Traveling on a Budget Panel

- Handing out my business Moo cards willy-nilly!

The absolute highlight of my day was getting to listen to Rick Steve’s talk about his history as a traveler, the shows, the ins and outs of smart traveling, and then getting to meet him and have him sign his book, Europe Through the Back Door. Unfortunately, my camera’s batteries died during his lecture and I was unable to snag a picture. Sad, considering meeting Rick was like meeting a rock star! If you’re unfamiliar with Rick Steve’s, be sure to check out his website (link below).

If the weather had been better on Sunday, my mom and I would have gone back to listen to local travel guru Huell Howser and Travel Channel wanderlust guide Samantha Brown. Native Southern Californians are prone to staying inside when it rains, though, curling up with a good book or a movie and some tea and popcorn.

I would definitely give the Travel and Adventure show another go next year! Thanks again, KCET!

Review: Bool BBQ food truck

Posted on January 31, 2011 by Rachael

I can’t get enough of the Bool BBQ truck. No suspense in this review, huh? I think part of the reason why I decided to purchase a membership to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was because I know the bool bbq truck is typically parked across the street for the lunch hour rush.

I’ve hit it up three times – usually for a bool gogi beef pastel – and every time has been a slice of Heaven. I find the food at bool bbq to be well worth the expense. I dig what the bool bbq is doing with the Korean-Central/South American fusion; they’re cuisines compliment one another wonderfully.

OK, onto what you’re really here for – hard core food porn!

Bulgogi Beef Pastel & Taco

Taco: bulgogi beef, spicy cabbage, peppers & fresh cilantro double wrapped in corn tortillas

Pastel Guts: bulgogi beef, cheddar/mozzarella mix, topped with pico de gallo

Review: The Cat and Fiddle (Hollywood)

Posted on January 29, 2011 by Rachael

I met up with Steffie and her beau at LACMA on Thursday and afterward we headed to Hollywood for an early dinner at The Cat and Fiddle, a place that Steffie’s beau, a bona fide Brit, wholly endorses. Situated on Sunset Boulevard, sitting back from the noise and grime of the street is a tranquil courtyard perfect for outdoor dining. We ate inside where the decor is English pub-centric, though not football hooligan over the top. There is an area for darts and a stage for their live music nights, typically Sunday and Thursdays.

Steffie ordered macaroni and cheese with peas, bacon and mushrooms while her beau and I each ordered the chicken and mushroom pie with steamed vegetables and fries (for Kris) and mashed potatoes (myself).

Steffie enjoyed the mac and cheese and let me have a few bites to judge for myself. The macaroni (or pasta) in question is penne style. Very cheesy and rich, though I could do without the bacon. Stef is too much of a bacon purist to due without it.

I was careful to ask the waiter if canned mushrooms are used for the pie, which they are thankfully not. Anyplace that uses tin mushrooms does not get my business. I enjoyed the pie – though I was surprised that the chicken and mushroom mixture came in a ramekin with no actual pastry shell or bottom. This bummed me out just a bit since the top shell was extraordinary. I mixed the mashed potatoes up, added a little HP sauce (I wasn’t fond of the gravy) and ate it all up.

Prices are a little steeper than what I am used to for Brit pub fare, but the quality holds up and the portions are nice. HP sauce available for purists. I’m not promising anything, but you may spot a rocker or two here as The Cat and Fiddle’s roots lie in rock and roll with its co-founder Kim Gardner.
