Northeast Los Angeles eats

I think they’re claiming Glassell

I’ve always considered Cypress Ave, especially south of Division, as MW.

Correction: At least on Google Maps, Barra Santos is right in their zoning of Cypress Park.

That map looks like CP is southwest of MW.

No way there’s a pound and a half of tofu in one sandwich? Got to be a typo.

Definitely not! I would be surprised if the tofu even weighed half of that. Still tasty though

Is the yellow thing in the middle tofu?

Yup curried tofu.

I bet it’s 1.5 pounds of tofu for the marinade recipe which then make enough tofu for several sandwiches.

That’s gotta be the intention but it’s pretty poorly written recipe considering it says this makes one sandwich

To Assemble and Serve:
Yield: 1 sandwich
1½ pounds fried tofu, julienned

and also that they indicate some ingredients are to taste but not, ya know, the amount of protein.

In a mixing bowl, combine tofu and desired amount of fried shallots

It definitely reads like a recipe that wasn’t scaled or copy edited for the reader

The recipe also says julienned tofu, but in the photo you can see it’s not.

Is it not? They’re closer to batons but I think the parts I circled in red are tofu:

I’m talking about JuteKeenBao’s photo above. Could be they switched from julienned to sliced at some point.

Sam’s Place. The sweet potato dish is really good. Enjoyed the thicker tahini that goes with it.

Secret Pizza. Tomato pie and lemon water ice. Sleeper hit on the menu. No hiding behind cheese. Sauce and crust have to be on point. Better than South Philly bakeries because it’s warm not room temperature. The warmth brings out the herbs and olive oil

There’s a spot called Ine that’s just opened on York. Japanese looking and casually interesting from the outside. Menu looks pretty interesting? Who is behind this spot? Can’t find any press!
