Lots of good food here but of course everything is getting too expensive. We’re all a product of what we are exposed to, I’m just a hick from the Midwest but I’m constantly being exposed to a food scene that has leveled up my understanding of great food, even if I don’t get a chance to experience all of it. I just learned about this place today from an article in the local news, apparently it’s been voted the best restaurant in the world multiple times by food critics and it’s coming to LA:

Never heard of it before but then I’m not a foodie on that level. Will be a tough reservation but still! I also know that this is a bit of a segue from the OP but hey, that’s OT.

Sadly I have here, at least close. There use to be a neat little restaurant, in a Park in Downtown Jacksonville, and I took a date for lunch there, a homeless clown comes up, asking for money, clearly I didn’t give him enough, as he turned around and dropped trowel right there. Had I reacted the way I wanted, I’d still be in jail. Just last week, a local pub I go to ($3 Sweetwater 420 pints and $3 Jagarbombs) some chick was out front asking people to buy her a beer( no, I didn’t, I only do that when I want to irritate someone inside, but a few drinks, pay for them and leave them there) yea, I know,I’m a A-hole,
And the manager told me that when she came to open the other week, that another person, in a “similar” situation, was taking a squat on the side of the building.
Mind you, this not near the city core, nor near anything close to ghetto, but there are some woods near by that are inhabited.
