Don Pepe’s in Fresno, Part 2

Shrimp Cocktail

I loved Don Pepe’s so much I had to go back 2 more times. Here are some new pictures of other items they offer. Although I am not a huge fan of the beans in a taco, the al pastor taco was really good which makes me realize that their carne asada is just okay. …

Every month, Chop Bar (Yelp) in Oakland roasts a whole pig and invites you to come eat it (unfortunately, they are taking a break until Spring). I believe it was something like $15 for as many servings as you want. Sides included cornbread, green beans, salad, and beans. It was a great opportunity to see …

The Oinkster

Meal at The Oinkster

I got the Oinkster Pastrami which comes with caramelized onions and is very filling. Jessica got the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich which was equally as big. I must …

Front of Red Lion Tavern

After struggling to find German cuisine in Los Angeles for quite a while, I finally got referred to a pretty awesome place in Silverlake called Red Lion Tavern (Yelp). In addition to having an extensive food menu, they also have about 11 German beers on tap including the Warsteiner Pilsner that I really enjoyed. Red …
