| | | | | | Mid-month means we need a coffee run which also means lunch in the west. Searching for something basic but satisfying on this sultry Monday afternoon we pop into Hiroko's Place for some hamburg. Not a very adventurous lunch but the ground beef patie with special sauce is so perfect accompanied by s... Read More | | | | | | No it's not a bento box style lunch, but may as well be for all the diversity present on one plate. Who else would combine such disparate things as ground beef patty topped with special sauce, a fried egg, an iceberg leaf salad and a delicious mayonnaise potato salad.

A tiny puppy consisting only of an adomen. With delicate skin made of scrambled egg. And organs made of ketchup-coated rice. ...So actually, it's nothing like a puppy. For whatever reason I find the rice-filled omelette bomb espec... Read More | | | | | | "They have not let us down YET!" Location: 71 First Ave Time: 7pm People: RB and myself Feelings: Great vegetarian/vegan Thai food at a great price with nice and fast service. Also, the bathroom has holographic light bulb, which is quite fascinating and makes you want to stay there longer... Read More | | | | | | Melissa Hom Summer allows for brief flings with childhood eating habits like ice cream from a truck or hot dogs in the backyard.
