Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Artist Saelee Oh offered to come over and cook on my 1950s O'keefe and Merritt. I wondered if it was out of guilt because she was super late on some editorial writing for Giant Robot. She says it's neighborly. Either way, I was hungry, and she cooks well. I hope the guilt comes over her more. I'll eat well that way. She even did dishes!

Artist Saelee Oh offered to come over and cook on my 1950s O’keefe and Merritt. I wondered if it was out of guilt because she was super late on some editorial writing for Giant Robot. She says it’s neighborly. Either way, I was hungry, and she cooks well. I hope the guilt comes over her more. I’ll eat well that way. She even did dishes! She made seitan and kale, and salad with salsa and beans and no dressing. The brown rice, she bought. She did a great job very quickly. She knows nutrition well, so this must be a very balanced meal.

The Donut man. You saw the pic from the blog yesterday maybe. But if you didn't think is what he looks like. Jim Nakano. He's a great man. Really. A true American success story, and he even took his wife and friend to see Mongol at the GR screening, but furthermore, drove out from Glendora. He's a food person, and loves to go far just to eat a good meal. I'm glad he made it to the movie as well....

He’s a food person, and loves to go far just to eat a good meal. I’m glad he made it to the movie as well. But all this said, the LA times best Donuts in LA came out, and he got #2. I’d protest, since #1 is just a super fancy place that isn’t open 24-7, but donuts are donuts. If it’s a ring, I guess it counts no matter what. Here’s the list. Some of the other spots shouldn’t even be on. If donuts aren’t their main dish, then they shouldn’t be on the list. Rockenwagner Bakery? No. Grace? No. Craft. No. Du-Par’s Restaurant & Bakery. No. Most of the list is lame. Stan’s in Westwood. OK. Tang’s in Silverlake. OK! Randy’s. OK. Bobs. OK. Frittelli’s Doughnuts & Coffee. I’ve never been, but sounds OK. Who wrote this anyway? Frittelli’s has two dollar signs. Donuts are $6-11? That’s not a donut anymore. “Worth it at twice the price?” Donutman’s Strawberry donuts are 2.60. I hardly doubt anything double the price can beat it. Ok. Donutman is on top at #1. I pity the fool who believes otherwise. And to the reviewer at the Times, dare not bring Portland into the mix. LA is donut city.

I try and check out tons of places to eat, but then sometimes, in your own backyard, you can get exactly what you want. The seafood marinara penne. It's not on the menu, and I don't know when they serve it, (I hear it's special) but I also heard it rocks. And yes, it does. Quite great. The marinara is on the sweeter side which I like. I know it's not supposed to be sour, so it's on par with what...
