Taco Report 07.14.08

IN HONOR OF MY BIRTHDAY COUPLED WITH MY LOVE FOR A FISH TACO—-

Part of LA Food Week on Aziz is Bored

I’ve been living in LA for a while now and tried many places. I want to write about a few of them.

First off, a report on tacos. These are my favorite places, if there are any must try spots, please let me know in the comments, particularly if they involve outstanding carne asada.

Yuca’s

(on Hillhurst near Ambrose)

If I were in real estate, I’d make property values go up just for being in close proximity to these carne asada tacos. Yuca’s is incredible. You walk up to this little shack and it looks pretty unassuming. Then you see a James Beard award. Whoa, that’s pretty badass. Then you take a bite of the carne asada and you know what life is all about. Its not about family and loved ones - its about delicious carne asada.

Best Fish Taco in Ensenada

(on Hillhurst near Prospect)

You know how most places that have “Best” in their name are usually fucking terrible? That is not the case here. Go here immediately and get the shrimp and fish tacos. They are super delicious, and only $2 and $1.50 respectively. My strategy is usually to order one fish and one shrimp and see which one is striking my fancy, and then proceed to order a couple of more. Radishes, hot guac, mango salsa, and sour cream? Yes please.

Taco Zone Taco Truck

(Sunset and Alvarado near the Von’s parking lot)

Someone at LA Mill recommended this great taco truck to me. Its open til 2 AM on weekdays (quite a treat with LA’s thin selection of non-diner late night food.) Try the carne suadero tacos, and the carnitas tacos. I also like to throw in a carne asada quesadilla, just to really punish my body late at night. An incredible late night snack.

this song is funny only if in yer iTunes you change the album artwork to a foto of you and someone you really aren’t friends with anymore. when it comes on shuffle it acts as a helpful reminder. “oh yes, i DO hate that twat.”

If I had a nickel for every time a person said to me…”Paul, please, please tell me what are your thoughts on the fashion stylings from the new “Sex and the City” movie?” Hell I’d have 5 cents.

But it might be something like this….

”…that outfit could never come off in the throes of passion. That’s the kind of dress that has to be carefully unhooked by a team of trained professionals and placed in some fireproof panic room….On the other hand, the dress definitely got me excited about seeing the new movie: I had no idea it takes place in the future.”

For more thoughts on Carrie Bradshaw’s Fab New Dress check out a segment that the Daily News calls “Style Pro Vs Average Joe” - I’m the average joe!

OH GOD. paul scheer is so hysterical. p.s. did you see him on 30 rock? so good.

San Francisco Bay Area tumblr meetup NEXT Friday

If you don’t end up going to the Saturday afternoon meetup this weekend, it is mandatory that you join us next weekend on Friday, May 16th at Lucky 13. (well not mandatory but you’d be missing out big time)

Lucky 13 is on Market Street between 15th St and Church (near the Castro and really close to all kinds of public transportation)

Why you will be there:
Kick ass tunage on the jukebox
+ drinking $2* cans of PBR on the back patio with good people
+ visits to graffiti-filled bathrooms
+ bullshitting with internet friends over whiskey shots
+ munching on free popcorn
=
SF tumblr love.

*unfortunately it’s CASH ONLY but if you spend what’s in your wallet, there’s an ATM inside.

REBLOG THIS AND LET’S SPREAD THE WORD!!

ps. if I’m missing anything, let me know. See ya next Friday! -Katy

I’m there! Can’t make this Saturday, but I’ll be at Lucky 13 on the 15th.

Even more reasons you will be there:

+Rad photo booth

+A cat mural

+Chimay Red

Should we all wear something to distinguish ourselves from the commoners? Like pleather hats, or white lace gloves on our left hands?

I’m there for:

-Awesome photo booth

-Chimay white

-Great juke box

I say we wear moustaches!

YEAH! maybe maybe maybe. perhaps it’s a possibility.

why jake and amir are amazing.

this is a reference to the article i wrote about jake and amir for california state university, sacramento newspaper.

jakehurwitz:

If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?

AB: Penguin. Next.

JH: She asked you why.

AB: Because they can fly.

JH: No they can’t.

AB: Oh.

That’s an excerpt from an interview Amir and I did for The California State University Newspaper. You can check out the whole thing here. Also, just for clarification, Amir is the one who yelled the “Spread the word” thing at the end. Not me.

mikhail doesn't watch PBS.

Mikhail:
it reminds me of the chris farley show on SNL
b r o o k l y n B: (1:28)
well i think it's a peg on charlie rose though
Mikhail: (1:36)
yeah i see that
but it's his questions that remind me of the old snl skit
b r o o k l y n B:
did you have to google charlie rose to see what it was?
Mikhail:
no
b r o o k l y n B:
you took an awful long time to reply.
almost the same amount of time it would take to look up charlie rose on the you tubes.
i'm just sayin.
Mikhail:
i'll have you know Jamie Kennedy compared me to Charlie Rose when I interviewed him
b r o o k l y n B:
i'm pretty sure that's an insult
goodnight

because i am a hopeless romantic…

i find this absolutely fantastic. an adorable guy in new york saw a girl on a subway train and didn’t have the guts to talk to her… and he felt something so magnetic that he made a website (http://nygirlofmydreams.com) devoted to finding her! AND HE DID FIND HER!

lately i’ve been thinking a lot about connections - people we meet every day could be that person that will knock us off our feet, change our lives, make us a better human being.

for a long time, i haven’t felt ready to meet someone who truly threw me for a loop, and, to my knowledge, i haven’t really met that person yet.

i’ve loved a lot. it sounds cheddar, but i absolutely have a lot of love to give.

i guess what i’m trying to convey here is that i need someone to see me on public transit and make a website devoted to finding me.

no stalkers, please. oh, and i guess this means i’ll have to start using public transit. boo.

guess what...

Mikhail:
hey guess what I bought!
b r o o k l y n B:
pocket pussy
Mikhail:
already have 3
so no
b r o o k l y n B:
gross
well what'd u buy then
Mikhail:
it's electronic
b r o o k l y n B:
dildo
Mikhail:
gross no
b r o o k l y n B:
fuck
Mikhail:
a short italian man is there mascot
b r o o k l y n B:
i am getting annoyed and impatient
just tell me
Mikhail:
haha
right
i got a Wii
b r o o k l y n B:
oh i don't care about that
Mikhail:
well i do
so i'm excited
i'm a child remember
b r o o k l y n B:
so it IS a pocket pussy?
