Gordon Biersch

Location: Old Town Pasadena. Type of food: Assorted popular (we went for steak).

This place is like a brewery. But we didn't try the ale. We just ate the food. :) It wasn't so great. Sylvia had the meat and I had BBQ salmon. I think the salmon was better than the steak. Oh, and get this... they didn't have any more steak sauce! It was only 6 p.m. when we went to eat!! How could this be???? Ah well. Can you guess how many more times we'll be going back there? Price range: $12-30. Rating: 2.5 loaves.

Hide (pronounced Hee-deh) Sushi

Location: West L.A. (on Sawtelle near Olympic). Type of food: Take a wild guess.

This place is always busy and the sushi is really good. We're starting to frequent it a lot more often than we thought. :) Price range: $4 - $7 on average for the sushi, depending.... Rating: 4.5 loaves.

Il Faro

Location: Marina del Rey, California. Type of food: Italian.

Great Italian food. More northern Italian. Everything here is delicious. The ambience is great because it's right by the marina. Service is wonderful. Price range: $10-20. Rating: 5 loaves.

Jerry's Famous Deli

Location: Marina del Rey and Westwood Village. Type of food: Sandwiches.

Someone once told me that this place has the greatest sandwiches. So we tried it out.... Not satisfactory to our tastes. You could probably get better sandwiches elsewhere. Price range: $6-15. Rating: 1 loaf

Joe's Crab Shack

Location: Redondo Beach (They also have other locations.) Type of food: Seafood

Very funky-looking place. Decor is pretty interesting. Pretty good food, but be prepared to wear bibs and be messy if you're gonna eat crab. :) Great place to take people on their birthdays cuz they make the birthday person dress up. Hee hee. Service is good. Price range: $10-40 (depending upon season and seafood). Rating: 3.5 loaves
