Mammoth is wonderful in summer as well - Some great hiking to be found in that whole area!

Agreed. I believe John Muir thought Ediza Lake,Ediza Lake, hiking trail near Mammoth Lakes, California, was the most beautiful lake in the Sierras.

So many lakes scattered in that wilderness, often with nary a human at its shores for most of the summer. Ethereally idyllic…

Ediza is hard to get a backpacking permit for. I love the Ritter Range and the Minarets.
This is a little further south, but typical of the High Sierra.

Roasted Duck by Pa Ord lives up to the hype. It was magnificent. (And there was parking…)

The “#1 Special” costs $25 and comes with a generous heap of delicious (de-boned!) duck, gai lan, and your choice of rice or Jade noodles (definitely, absolutely get the noodles to sop up that duck juice), and an extra mini-bowl of that glorious duck au jus… Huge bites!!!

Supreme solo work lunch trophy: Achieved.

Jaraguá. Salvadoran. On Beverly. We tried it due to some Salvadoran-born Redditors saying it was the best Salvadoran food in LA.

Warrior: Best Salvadoran food I’ve ever had? Nah, I wouldn’t say that. Pretty lackluster to be honest. Inherently limited by the ingredients. The ceiling for a dish with factory bagged shredded mozzarella is pretty low. Good tamale though.

Peony: It was cooked properly. The tamale was pretty delicate.
