Getting some tongue on foothill blvd.
Last night I set off looking for fortune. I went to the ATM, took out a couple Hamiltons (Benjamins are so 2008), and headed for Lakeview Terrace and my friend Alex’s weekly poker game.
I arrived expecting to throw some bucks down on pizza or whatever delivery we could score. Alex had another idea altogether. We got to talking about EatMeCalifornia and Alex let me know that nearby Sylmar had more taco trucks per capita than UCLA has asian people.

Sizzler had that great cheese toast. I used to think there was crack in that cheese crust and I could never get enough of it. Sizzler has fallen a long way down. It was once a proud steak house where the people got together for a killer salad bar, great steaks and even great fried shrimp. Fresh baked potato’s covered in butter and sour cream made it the best all-you-can-eat joint around. Who doesn’t remember all you can eat night at the Sizzler? Continue reading
