Saw Tam’s representing in the Halftime show made me want to get some chilli cheese fries, orange bang, and a hood burger

That sign made me laugh. In addition to being a South LA staple I wondered if they used it because it was easy to license. There was an article on Tommy’s Burgers I can’t find that mentioned they’ve never gone after the knockoff names so it would be a little rich if Tam’s licensed their name for money.
Then again, it’s the Super Bowl so it’s not like money is an issue. Man, that whole set piece was amazing.

Went to Pasta|Bar last night. I do not recommend anyone else going. I will definitely not be returning.

what went wrong?
I actually liked Scratch Bar back when that existed. The service/presentation was a bit over the top for my liking, but the food was generally pretty good even though it was overly fussy and always included some sort of foam/gel. The food at Pasta|Bar just wasn’t on the same level. None of the dishes were bad per se, but there was not a single standout and a couple were bland and straight up under-seasoned. I would not advise anyone spend the money dining there when there are better meals to be had elsewhere for the same price or substantially less.
LOL I saw the Tam’s sign and I suddenly had a jonesin’ for jook, cheung fun and wonton egg noodles…

Light morning snack at Porto’s in Glendale.
Getting my fill of guava. Also coconut strudel.

Seafood potato ball. What’s in it? Seafood, I guess. I did get a chunk of shrimp.
Not pictured, ham croquettes, chicken croquettes and regular potato balls.
THIS IS A DRUG….

You guessed correctly:
“Porto’s signature potato puree filled with a seafood ragout (calamari, shrimp, and scallop with garlic, cilantro, lemon zest, and tomato sauce). With a crispy cilantro panko crust.”
(We’ve a gift card for their “Bake at Home” stuff: need to actually redeem it at some point.)

I’m a big fan of those mystery seafood balls. The Porto’s bake at home is 90% as good as the bakery product imo

…and a brilliant and adaptive business move.
John’s Roast Pork, South Philly.
Cheesesteak with american and fried onions. Long hot on the side.
Notice how the cheese and onions are integrated with the steak? Not some melted glob on top.
Bread is always from a local South Philly bakery. Even better if they baked it in house like Angelo’s. Amoroso is kinda crappy tbh.
The steak all have a similar seasoning but the way it is chopped up varies on the location.
Cheese and fried onions is a must.
That’s a proper cheesesteak my friends.

Same! It reminds me of shrimp bisque inside a potato ball. I prefer it to the regular.
