Foodies Unite

Michi! you will appreciate this post. John! Don't read this post.

I only have a very small handful of friends that like to splurge on a great meal with me. And one is DINA! Who will be arriving in LA this thursday.

Now...the foodie in me finally gets to come out and explore the best of LA's cuisine! There are so many places I want to check out. But with the limited time that we have, I had to cut down the list.

1. BOILING CRAB! The fun begins with boiling crab on thursday night in Garden Grove.

2. CAFE FIRENZE! On friday we will head all the way up to Moorpark for lunch at Fabio's restaurant! (Fabio from top chef that is. Yes the hot italian guy) Just so the drive isn't wasted, we will stop by camarillo on the way back. (If it's on the way back because my geography skills basically suck)

3. STEFAN'S AT LA FARM! Friday's dinner will be at Stefan's restaurant in Santa Monica. Yes the bald finnish guy from top chef. Is he finnish?

4. CRAFT! Sunday night we will head to Tom Colicchio's restaurant. Ok it's not Craft in NY, but whatever. Same Craft. =D

Also on the list is Boa's steakhouse in SM and Mario Batali's restauarant Osteria Mozza. I also want to check out Jar. My goodness too many. But I think the above 5 are good for now. Next tuesday you will see an awesome foodie post full of pictures!

Also Susan is tentatively coming Oct 17 and we are also planning to have an LA foodfest! That will be more of a hunt for the best hole in the walls.

October will be a great foodie month. But of course, I will be pumpin iron hard core inbetween!
