LA

I have a lot of friends that go to downtown LA just to get the famous bacon wrapped hot dogs, so i want to make it easier for them and give them instructions to do it:

warm a skillet without oil (the bacon fat will substitute it)
wrap each hot dog with a slice of bacon in a spiral
use a toothpick if you need to hold the ends of the bacon.
add hot dogs in pan for about 7 minutes (i like them crispy)
add veggie peppers and onions to pan with bacon fat to grill
take out toothpicks and add hot dog and grilled veggies/onions to bun
i like to top it off with mustard and sliced avocados, you can also add ketchup, relish, brussel sprouts, mushrooms.

Middle eastern.. just like me =]

If you are in the mood for some middle eastern food I'm telling you to go to Carnival! I myself am middle eastern and the food at this restaurant taste as good as my grandmother's cooking, all the workers are very friendly and make you feel as if your at home. The prices are also very good.

Red Lobster

Sad to say I was disappointed at my last trip to Red Lobster. =[ I'm surprised it's rated #1 Zagat best seafood? I feel their was a lack of flavor and to much sauce. I had Grilled Maine Lobster and Jumbo Shrimp with a side of lobster mashed potatoes. I'm going to have to say the cheddar biscuit's was the best out of the meal.
