In a Shopping Mall in Burbank, North of the Media Center mall, and right next to the Gelato and Ice Cream place Creme De La Creme which I just reviewed. I still don't know the story of why the one in Los Angeles is not on the web site, but I do know that was the first one, so there must have been a family dispute. Anyway, this one is as delicious as the original, but has a photo menu and 2 cashier's, one for cash and one for credit. the food is inexpensive and top notch.

Right next to Zhankou Chicken, and owned by the same people (not the same as the one in Hollywood, but the same food). When they first opened they gave out free samples, and they will still let you try anything. The people are friendly and the dessert is inexpensive and delicious. This is a must try if you have a sweet tooth and are in Burbank.

This is an excellent Deli and Restaurant with a pre set menu, where you go with a tray and get various pasta dishes as well as a slew of salads. The servings are huge and very inexpensive and quite tasty. Not the lightest food, but quite good. And the deli is really worth checking out. I was quite impressed.

Tasty food with good portions, though the 70's decor and really slow service certainly hurt a bit. It is open 24 hours though, and has everything from breakfast to seafood and even greek dishes.

I was introduced to this restaurant by my ex girlfriend whose father from Sichuan would only eat here when he was in Los Angeles. Tonight I went with my girlfriend, her sister and her father to this restaurant to have some excellent Chinese Seafood. Now while everything is good, the crab with house special sauce is the best and a specialty. It has like a deep friend garlic and ginger with chilies in it, and the crab is battered and you rip it apart with your fingers and teeth and spit out the shells. It is the best way I have ever had crab for all time. Well tonight we did better, if by a larger expense.

On the way to the Ferry we had time to kill because of our 10:45 Ferry (going back from MA to CA you always have to take a late flight because you need to take the Ferry and Bus to get to Logan) so we went into Oak Bluffs for breakfast. My mother says this was another place locals go because there are not that many breakfast places on MV. And we had a wait, though not too long, and they have those vibrating things to inform you so we walked around Circuit Ave a bit. The place has a great menu for breakfast food, with some great looking pancakes, waffles, and a huge selection of breakfast meats. Quite tasty with fast service and good prices.

This was always a favorite of mine since I was a kid. Just getting a burger on an excellent bun, and fries in a bag with vinegar and maybe some onion rings while chomping on some pepronchini peppers always made me happy, so we had to go. And the fries and onion rings were as good as ever, but I must say I was disappointed with the burger which didn't seem too special at all.

This is a popular spot for islanders because of the excellent food, and we could tell because we had to wait for a table, though not too long. The menu is excellent with lots of choices including some delicious looking salads that were huge. We came for Chowder and sandwiches and were very pleased.

On our trip to Marthas Vineyard we went out to dinner with our old friends Kate and Sam Sherman and they took us to an Italian Restaurant in Edgartown. This place was great. It has a great look and vibe, with a large bar, and good service, and the place was packed. The prices are pretty reasonable and the food was excellent.
