Jamie's spring food travels-laguna beach

Well, for those of you that know me... you realize that I love art, travel and food. In fact, when I can have all three...he's in heaven (with maribel, of course). Ok, here's the skinny from my OC trip. I of course had to have a IN-n-Out burger...a few times, but I also tried some other interested places. These heavenly cupcakes from Sprinkles (New Port beach), and also ate some wonderfully creative (i.e. fusion), sushi at a place call Ten..or Ten asian bistro also in New Port beach.

Mexicali pizza and mayan icecream (cocoa nibs, fresh cinnamon and dark chocolate)


The pizza was good, however...too many sundried tomatoes made the sauce a too bitter. The three cheeses where: queso viejo, matzarella and cheddar.  I also used black cumin in the tomato sauce.  Topped with cilantro, plenty of roasted chicken and a dab of guacamole.

Four young chefs, 10 friends, three courses and a dessert of pears stuffed with marzipan (no tree)

Great food, take a look at the menu below to see what courses were traversed in the pursuit of good eats.

NoLa-the big easy

Well, as you know that i'm of the philosophy: " have fork, will travel".  I ate breakfast at Mommy's, lunch at Central grocery (home of the mulfalatta), Johnny Po Boy's (awesome!), Lucy's retired surfer's cafe (believe it or not), Tommy's, Cochon (very good) ...to name a few. It was incredibly yummy...and incredibly unhealthy food.  Crawfish etouffee, crab cakes, ceviche, ....I could go on...and on. But all of it very yummy!
