After having brunch at Gjelina, we decided to walk around Venice Beach and 4 hours later we were hungry again. I've been wanting to drop by Danny's after they were featured on I Love You, Man. We forgot to try the fish tacos that Jason Segel had in the movie.

Second visit to this awesome spot. Fitting that I went with the two people who went with me on the first visit. As usual, everything we had was fantastic, well save for that one salad. I'm glad we ended up having things we didn't have the last time.

I love this place because it is literally down the street from my house and whenever I go the food is always great. The service is also excellent, everyone there are ridiculous nice it almost feels like you're having a meal at a relative's home.

This place was featured on Guy Fieri's show on the Food Network channel called Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. A ton of people I know around town have raved about this spot, so my sister and I decided to have a late lunch to avoid the crowd. The first thing you'll notice when you enter is the life size poster of Guy. The second thing I noticed was the massive beer collection at the bar. The hardest part is deciding which to get. My first visit was pretty awesome, will definitely be coming back to try other things. 

the bar. they have a ridiculous amount of beer

jalapeno cheese poppers. the sweet dipping sauce tasted like caravelle

the kitchen burger: ground beef burger topped with bleu cheese, apple wood smoked bacon, spicy bbq sauce and onion rings

My friend Nate has been raving about this place for ages so I finally decided to pay a visit. I met up with my friend Gina for lunch. She decided to treat me for finally getting a job.
As per Nate's suggestions, we tried the kobe burgers. There were about 6 different kinds, it is now my mission to try everything.
