I love randomly taking photos when I’m out and about. Mostly of my food. I’m weird like that. But then I end up with all these photos that I don’t know what to do with. So they’re going here on my blog…<\/p>\n

When I traveled to San Francisco for work back in May, I took the opportunity to order room service at my hotel<\/a>. It was a Kobe beef burger and fries from the hotel’s restaurant, Grand Cafe<\/a>. There’s something about room service that makes me feel so indulgent.<\/p>\n

Since BFF’s wedding<\/a> was up in Santa Monica, Rob & I decided to take a few extra days off from work and stay in the area. We’ve been wanting to check out Umami Burger<\/a> (saw a feature about it on the Food Network)… so we did! AND IT WAS SO YUM. We went with some friends so we got to sample the Umami, Manly, and SoCal burgers. My favorite was the SoCal. It had some sort of spread or dressing that was DELICIOUS. Guh. I want to go baaaack.<\/p>\n

For brunch, my LA expert (Carms) recommended Huckleberry<\/a>. We tried the fried egg sandwich and the Niman Ranch brisket hash. So good! Seriously, I think I need to plan a staycation\/foodie weekend in LA someday.<\/p>\n

The last foodie-ish thing we did in Santa Monica was go to Happy Hour at a bar (the name of it escapes me) that serves chicken and waffle SLIDERS. Sadly, they were average at best but I’ve never seen them in slider form before so they get points for that I guess.<\/p>\n

Rob & I are food truck fans. We’re also fans of hot dogs with Japanese toppings like the ones we had at Japadog<\/a> in Vancouver<\/a>. So when we heard about Dogzilla<\/a>, a food truck with similar hot dogs roaming around Orange County, we decided to check it out. Luckily there was a stop in Irvine a few weeks back and off we went. The BEST part is that it was at an elementary school open house. LOLARIOUS. And no, we were not the only people there without kids. Heh. All that said, it was AMAZING.<\/p>\n

On Memorial Day, we had some friends over for a little barbecue. Hot links and sliders, oh my!<\/p>\n

Last week we went to see The Hangover 2<\/i> (not as funny as the first) and before the movie we stopped at Bruxie<\/a> in Old Towne Orange to try their waffle sandwiches. I wanted to save room for movie popcorn so we split a chicken and waffle sandwich (can you tell we really like chicken and waffles?!). SO GOOD. Only bad thing is that they don’t offer gravy. What’s that about?<\/p>\n

So to temper all these foodie pics, Diesel wants to show you all his haircut. Above is before when he was all shaggy.<\/p>\n

And here he is after!<\/p>\n

I think that’s enough pictures for now. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
