Actualy the place to go for a good Japanese style curry (as odd as that phrase sounds) was a place in a strip mall in Los Alamitos (Cypress?) where all the Japanese companies were.

The In-N-Out talk reminds me something that always bothered me. I know there is one in Barstow, but why was there never an In-N-Out in Baker where one is sorely needed? Reminds me of the great “Does Bun Boy Suck?” question.

Wahoos was founded by two Chinese guys. Imagine that, huh?

Dram, the Japanese supermarket is now called Mitsuwa. Great place to get some curry katsu is a sea of Mexican and Italian eateries that is South OC.

Wahoo’s? In that complex with with the Japanese supermarket (Yohan’s?). Not bad, but my favorite was Pesco Majado in Santa Ana. Beautiful grilled fish with a side of rice, beans, and a few tortillas?

Wahoo’s, yes, I fondly remember that joint. The cashier was an ex-Coldwell Banker in-house counsel who left the fast track for a simple existence.

Wahoo’s fish tacos on Bristol in Costa Mesa. A couple of those with a Dos Equis amber would be nice right now.

Cause that’s what we miss, isn’t it? I’m not looking forward to sun-dried tomatoes, pesto or wood brick oven pizza, I want a decent American breakfast and a burger that isn’t pre-made and wafer thin. And some onion rings! I guess I could go to Outback and get their onion blossom for ten bucks but it wouldn’t be the same. Hey, and a carne asada burrito from one of those places that used to be a Taco Bell and is now a Roberto’s or Rigoberto’s.

What is it about burgers and breakfast in LA? Not only In-n-Out and Fatburger, but what about Tommy’s? Anybody that puts a fried egg and bacon on three patties is AOK in my book.

And then there’s the excellent brekkie joints found up and down PCH, with Joe’s in Redondo my personal favorite: four-egg omelettes and huge bricks of hash browns, ummmmm… hash browns [slobbers into unconscious…

Anybody ever tried a Fatburger? I used to go to the one in San Clemente on the way to San Diego to see my Dad. Had to ask for it to be char-broiled though. I think those burgers are starting to kill me now. But when I get to LAX and take my wife down to Low-Cal in the rent-a-car I’m gonna stop there again. The onion rings were deadly too.

Reminds me of another story to prattle on about.

On the way to LAX on the 405 there is a huge In-N-Out sign for a resturan (on Hawthorne I think). Once I stopped there on a flight to Detroit and picked up a few DD’s to go. This was in the days when you could arrive like 30 minutes before your flight. So I cruised into the lot, ran to the plane, and then when aloft as people were deciding “Chicken Puke or Fish Crap” and if “would you like red colored lighter fluid” for wine I sat down to two DD’s and an coke. The looks I got from people were just evil.

After that experince for every LAX flight I ate at In-N-Out on Hawthorne BEFORE the flight.
