Southern California Thread

[Dak]

Yeah I don't know where you are in SoCal or whatever, but I could recommend some good places depending. I think I may have been to Stan's, I have family that lives out in Yuma. It was like 20 years ago though and we ate a lot of mexican food so I can't remember what it was like.

I moved away from Yuma in 2012 (was there while stationed there/the wife was finishing out her time). Miss a lot of things about the Southwest, but not the 110+ temps haha. Actually lived about two blocks away from Stans 2008-2009 (pretty much my first year on this forum).

Any of you SoCal people into classical music also? I'm likely going to the LA Phil this weekend.

I've walked past the building when I went on a weekend rumble in LA in 2005 (goddamn over a decade ago, gettin fuckin old), pretty cool place.

My uncle (who's like 78 and gay, but sadly is in an old-folks home because of his poor health (Parkinson or ALS I think?)) had season tickets to the LA Phil for like, decades. That's like all I know about him, other than he taught at UCLA.

[-CC-]

Been dying to go to a show for weeks, but BandsInTown is recommending shit. Anyone know anything good for this month?

 

[Master_Yoda77]

SoCal is gay is so is their shitty whiskey.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Farmer Boys is pretty good. They have a bunch of them out here in the SGV.

If any of you guys are in the Pasadena area, Connals is a must. There's also a spot here called the Dog Haus that dishes out some delicious burgers and dogs.

 

[Nephilim96]

^thanks for the recs. love hole in the wall burger joints and shit.

do any of you guys ever eat at The Hat? I like that place. There's like 5 of them iirc.

 

[unknown]

Being in Long Beach, all you need is MVPs for burgers. Everything else is Busch league

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... i'll definitely be hitting that spot around next time im in LB. I love burgers.

The Hat makes some boooomb pastrami. There chili cheese fries are pretty good too. Haven't tried anything else form them though,

 

[unknown]

MVPs makes the kinds of burgers where you need a shower afterwards

Good pastrami is a tough find. You usually have to go to west LA and hit up dinner Jew delis to find good pastrami. Mmm pastrami on rye
