Met up with my good buddy John Sagredo who I never get to see sinc he moved to Phoenix. We headed over to the new Bobs Big Boy in Downey, that is actually a renovation of the old Johnny’s Broiler. It was Decked out in 50′s diner fashion and stayed true to the old school decor. It was good seeing John and talking web with him. Feels like old times.

Just randomnly went to this place called Viet Huong in El Monte area. It was really good! It was in a weird area, surrounded by auto repair shops and run down residences. However the place itself was really nice, like an oasis in a kind of run down area.

One thing that set this place apart was their kindness and sincerity. We ordered vegetarian spring rolls which had a nice crunch in them and were served with a uniquely delicious peanut sauce. From there on it just got better when I got my vegetarian bun with crispy yet well marianated tofu.

The best part was when we got the check and it was only $20. That’s an appetizer and two meals for about $10 each. A really good deal.

It was a good experience to find a good place that wasn’t within my normal stomping ground.
