HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

Had to celebrate at one of my favorite taco joints in LA... Guisados in Boyle Heights!

This one is the chef's sampler... veggies, chicken and beef only...no pork or seafood!

And here we have a special Cinco De Mayo Chile Colorado taco using the owner/ chef's mother's recipe, made specially for me with chicken instead of Pork! Thanks dude! It was the shiz!

Crazy Coyote Tacos

There is no way in a million years we would have ever stopped at Crazy Coyote Tacos just from the looks of the place. It's located right outside of the Cabazon Outlets in Banning Califonia, right next to a place that specializes in thugged out fleece blankets. So why you ask did we stop there? Well the answer is simple. We had heard about this place on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations Southwestern Roadtrip Episode. And since we were going to be out near Palm Springs for Easter, you know we HAD TO try the place. As expected, Mr Bourdain led us to a wonderful eating experience..

La Cabanita

We went to a new Mexican Restaurant tonight after I discovered it on Yelp. The funny thing about it was that La Cabanita was a mere 5 minutes away from where I grew up, and has been there for 20 years, but somehow I never even knew about it. DOH! So anyways to make up for lost time we went there, chowed down, and it was AMAZING! The menu had so much diversity on it, we felt like kids in a candy store. I had heard that the Mole Enchiladas were the bomb, as were the Enchiladas Verde, so I ordered one and my fiancee ordered the other so we could share. I also ordered a Cactus Taco and scarfed that down like I hadn't eaten in years. It was so delicious we probably finished our meals in about 10 minutes and then had some margaritas. A few minutes after that, food coma began to set in so we called it a night and went home.

R.I.P. Gay & Larry's

In honor of starting up a Yelp account to review restaurants, I am posting the only 2 pictures I ever took, of my all time favorite place in the history of the world, when it came to eating food, Gay & Larry's. Maybe sometime I will gather my thoughts and write a posthumous review of this beloved Mexican Restaurant.

Yelp Yourself To My Reviews

Quite often when my fiancee and I are trying to check out a new restaurant or store we turn to the trusty review site Yelp.com to see what other people have said. After yet another review steering us in the right direction, I decided that I would join the ranks of Yelpers worldwide and start posting some reviews of my own. Especially since the economy is so bad right now, I figure the more positive reviews of places I love to eat at and patronize, can only help their chances of survival, which works out great for all of us. So if you are ever wondering what "Mr. B", the sole proprietor and founder of Crumdirt.blogspot.com thinks of a place, or if you just need some ideas of where to go in Los Angeles check out my Yelp Profile at Crumdirt.yelp.com. I promise I won't steer you wrong!

GU

In search of a new "energy" product to help me through grueling runs, hikes, bike rides, basketball games and workouts in general, I decided to try a product called GU after seeing it in both my favorite local running and biking stores. All I have to say is WOW! Not only does this stuff taste way better and have about 1/4th of the calories that a power bar does, but it also gave me a super clean energy boost like no other. Unfortunately I think I'm addicted now so I'm going to have to buy this crap in bulk or else its gonna cost me way too much!

Korean BBQ Craving

A friend was in town from the Bay Area so we had to take him and his sister to the best Korean BBQ in LA, SOot Bull Jeep. Unfortunately I didn't take too many pictures since i was preoccupied with stuffing my face, but here are a few to make your mouth water...
