Not Just Fast Food

I've been working hard and traveling a lot. Last week we were in Austin and Dallas for a client. This week it was LA where we had two really good prospects plus work on existing clients and an new proposal for more work for an existing client. Yay team!

On top of this it has been a good couple of weeks of culinary travel. In Austin we found a good steak house, had BBQ on the road between Austin and Dallas and had a totally acceptable meal and glass of wine at a hotel restaurant near Love Field that I thought was going to be a total bomb out. On top of that the hotel buffet which was 10 bucks was over the top. It had hot food, cold food, smoked meats, smoked salmon, cheeses, etc. It was crazy good for 10 bucks.

In LA we were rushing around from one end of the area to the other but we had time and we almost went for dim sum in the Chinese area of Monterey Park. But there were only two of us and it's hard to get a good sampling with only two people. We ended up going to this Hawaiian fast food joint.

They specialize in the Hawaiian plate meal which is some type of meat with two scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad.

My partner had a chicken combo with a grilled chicken and fried chicken cutlet

Mine had Korean style ribs, teryaki beef and the grilled chicken
There was a lot of food. It was real food. There was even a bed of tasty steamed cabbage underneath. A real meal for $8.

Wow. Finding a good and cheap hotel buffet is something akin to finding water in the desert.
