This is my order at Rays. Especially those jalapeño cheese sausages.
The ribs are meh. I would pass on them.
I usually get two pounds of brisket and 6 jalapeño sausages.
Sides are meh but I’m really at Rays for beef fest.

Lemon pepper fries is brilliant.
Was in Manhattan Beach twice this weekend for the Dwight Crum 2 mile pier-to-pier swim. On Saturday we went to pick up my timing chip and swim cap. Some friends were supposed to come to hang at the beach, but since parking is a clusterf*ck there, they got frustrated so we decided to meet at Grimaldi’s for a late lunch.
We ordered the Brooklyn Bridge pizza which came with ricotta, sausage, and roasted red peppers.
After the swim on Sunday (which took me 10 minutes longer than last year 'cause of a pretty strong current against us), we went to Rock N Fish since it’s one of the closest restaurants to the pier. All the empty tables were for reservations but we didn’t mind waiting so we were comped some free drinks. My wife got the Hot and Sweet BBQ Shrimp which was a little odd because the sauce was indeed really sweet. I chose the Lobster Benedict. The lobster was pretty flavorless, but the breakfast potatoes were really good.

Yup! at Ray’s, just the Brisket for me, sometimes the sausages.
Angry Chicken has some great QPR going! You get a bowl. A small salad (with homemade, super tasty dressing) and a drink for under $10. The Garlic Shrimp bowl is also tasty.

They raised the price recently from $6 for the bowl to $7 LOL! Calling it a bowl is an understatement. They use a big clamshell container, half of it was full of the popcorn chicken and the other half rice. It was a ridiculously large portion for the price. Good filler after the Gus meal.
I thought the chicken was solid quality too.

I’ve never been able to pass up the sausages. Especially the 3 fer deal. When they first opened, it was 3 for $10, it’s currently $13.99, still a good deal. We just take leftovers home and they make for a great sandwich or I go back to my Filipino comfort food zone. A little garlic fried rice, couple of sunny side up eggs and the sausage on the side.

The rice too! Sometimes Rice Bowl places cheap out on plasticky rice. I like their rice. So funny to see it pop up here. It’s not the most healthiest meal, but it’s easy, quick and GOOD for the neighborhood.

Finished a breakfast at Paul’s Coffeeshop in Fountain Valley.
Had the Wednesday special of Korean Beef/Bulgogi, Rice, Cucumber Kimchi, and a side of 2 fried eggs! Legit! One of the waitress is Korean and it’s her recipe.

do they offer this for lunch? i usually get the spam and eggs, but they never fry it crispy. i’ve also gotten the chicken fried steak which is HUGE but no flavor. It’s like they make it for old people who want it with “salt on the side”
overall i’ve been disappointed.
anything else good to eat there?
Shhh…it’s chicken and plain rice. Don’t ruin my delusion.
Agree about the rice, even after transporting back to westside, it held up well. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality and care of everything. They made sure to punch holes in the containers so nothing steamed and got soggy. They even give you little containers of pickled jalapenos and sriracha if you want.
It’s not destination and I kind of equate it like Dino’s chicken meal. If you’re passing by in the area and want a good inexpensive filling meal, it’s a great option.

That sounds great! I’ll have to make sure we get in there. Thanks for the heads up!
No idea
Fairly small diameter - like a P. Mozza size - but I don’t think that is a PM pie.
Omg, you totally called it! How funny.
It was so greasy and salty, and there was no soupy center. I hadn’t been in a couple years, and it was so disappointing.
At the height of tomato season, the caprese salad is a giant hunk of amazing, creamy, luscious (yes, I use that word deliberately) mozzarella, and four peeled, flavorless cherry tomatoes. I took the cheese home to make my own damn caprese.

The size - and the distance from the edge of the pie to the “beginning” of the toppings (too much distance, IMHO) - is pathognomonic of a Silvertonian pie.

Too bread-forward. “Man (and woman) CAN live mostly by bread alone.”
