LA4THOFJULYWEEKEND

For the long 4th of July weekend...we hauled down to L.A. in the heat.
When you need a good fix of Japanese stuff, and you can't go to Japan, the next best thing is Los Angeles.
Cool bike.
Linda coming out of Lucky Cat.
In hindsight, I wish I would have bought a box of these just to try them...
Weird graffiti in Hollywood.
An even cooler bike.
Reminds me of Japan.
Really cool...
Facebook kills your brain...indeed.
I like the baby Predators and the happy coffin guy.
Satanically possessed Astroboy also rules.
Linda waiting for sake.
Sapporo on tap with a nice don of unagi, shrimps and crab meat.
Seafood.
And more Japanese food...this time Okonomiyaki from a place called Gottsui....which means Great in Japanese.
Damn straight.
Captain Kidd's meal #1.
Captain Kidds meal #2.
Best hushpuppies ever.
Linda found a bad spot on the side walk.
FJ from a time when they were actually cool and not bloated cartoons like they are now.
Aquarium fish at the hotel.
Spoiled on sushi.
Us at The New Church.
Cool looking gallery we drove past.
Ilegal Mezcal?
For our last meal, I wanted to find a Yakiniku place that might be as good as the place we ate at in Japan...
LEFT: Marinated Beef Cheek  RIGHT: Beef Tongue. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it.
I'm kind of obsessed now with Japanese grilling, so much so that I intend to buy a Japanese charcoal grill for the back yard.  Problem is, finding meat good enough to cook on it.
