FOOD! FUN! FRIENDS! SHENANEGANS! did i spell that right UNA??
Mike and Anne’s in South Pasadena (thanks for the rec Becky!). GREAT BRUNCH!…but alas, no pics because i forgot and we just took side profile coffee shots! GREAT COFFEE by the way! (4.5 out of 5)
GETTY VILLA! So fancy shmancy, but fun and FREE! and the architecture tour…LONG.
wow. you really can’t even see our faces. that’s water behind us.
Then we at…REEL INN in Pacific Palisades. I’ll have to give it 3 out of 5 stars. it was a bit overpriced. I think i enjoyed their shrimp quesadilla the best!
Tilapia cajun style
Shrimp tacos (this was yummy too)
Good place just to try once. I wouldn’t mind going back again, but i wouldn’t seek it out.
(check out my review on YELP!)Then, to FILLING STATION! in Orange, CA (4 out of 5 stars)
coffee…SO GOOD. thus, coffee shots:
Eggs Benedict: Hollindase sauce was so so…it reminded me of velveta cheese
Banana pancakes….SO good! good amount of crispyness and softness and sweetness
Banana Waffles. Good, not great, but i enjoyed this as well.
My sister got a Eggs florentine where it was like an eggs benedict but had spinach and bacon. It was pretty good!
AUNTIE EMS! MY FAVORITE! in Eagle Rock (5 out of 5)
I always get specials because I’m never disappointed!This was the beef brisket sandwich. doesn’t look too appetizing, but it was very tasty and i got it with a side of grilled asparagus, which was great as well
Kaitlyn’s chicken sandwich…very large and in charge. but she liked it!
Vickie’s mac and cheese. SO good! this was a special too. Very light, yet crispy.
Tina’s avacado, cheese sandwich. I think she liked it?
They also have a fantastic bakery and GREAT coffee as well!
They have the best red velvet cupcakes hands down!
and a pretty good coconut cupcake (and usually i’m not a huge fan of coconut)
Went with some old roomies to GOAT in west LA. (on La brea). (5 out of 5)
I am never disappointed by this place (been there twice). The service is awesome and the waitress recognized me and remembers my sister’s name.
I admit it, i’m a foodie. If you have any great suggestions or want to try something you’ve heard of, let me know! let’s go!
count down…three more weeks to go!! I gotta get crackalackin!

i used to go to auntie em’s all the time in college – do they still have a confederate flag on the wall? but the food is SO good – your entry made me ravenous!
mmmm loved this entry, sister! i didn’t know you wrote reviews on yelp! i’m dyyying to go to auntie em’s as soon as possible! there’s a GIANT fry on that plate with the chicken!!! i kept staring at it! and that beef sandwich looks pretty yoo-cie. i love goat! they’re the bast!
i thought expensive cupcakes were overrated until michelle shared her red velvet cupcake with me. i have been enlightened since then.
omg, i thought this was joyce’s entry the whole time! then i looked at it again and realized it was yours! 3 more weeks til graduation, right?
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG i love red velvet. and the getty villa.

haha debbie! i understand the confusion! i want to go to the getty villa too! looks pretty!
I love Goat!!! Can we try South?!?!?! It just opened! And they have a yummy cocktail menu!
Dontcha just LOVE hangin’ with the girlfriends???!!! I didn’t know you were a yelper!!! Yelp is cool. I’ve been to the Reel Inn… yeah, I agree with you… it ain’t all that, but it’s good to try once. Some people LOVE it, though. Never been to Auntie Em’s… those pics make me wanna go, though.
Those banana pancakes look soooooo good. If I could find a sistah that can make breakfast like that, she can have my wallet! I just can’t promise that there will be anything in it.
