December 2025 Rundown

Some nice meals to end the year!

Pacific Diner, San Pedro (whoa we’re still in LA? ohhh that’s how you pronounce Pedro. It’s like the Houston trick in NY!) - John Wayne Special: sausage, eggs, potatoes, peppers, “Spanish sauce” and cheese piled onto some tortillas.

Gjelina - I went for lunch; the only time they serve their delicious lamb burger that is always worth getting. The veggies and plates are the way to go here, and I think I will skip the pizza the next time. I really enjoyed the umami burst and char in the grilled oyster mushrooms with tarragon butter.

Donna’s - Been too long since I had a nice Italian meal. A black walnut Manhattan, chicken parm, pasta alla vodka, caesar salad and tiramisu to end the year right.

Glad to be a part of the FTC community, thank you for all the insights and helping me eat my way through LA! Happy New Year everyone!
