I can't figure out what's going on in LA sushi restaurants with the music. The last 2 I visited were playing MOR rock. It wasn't bad, just a disconnect.

Say what you will (and have) about Starbucks, their new proposed music downloading idea sounds inviting.

Realized I never updated this. We ended up going to Joe's in Venice, which was lovely. Sat out on the patio, had the game menu, which was phenomenal (some of the best venison I've had) and enjoyed a few glasses of wine. I would definitely go back to Joe's, and it was very reasonable.
Did you close the deal? Is your husband ready to move to California? How was brunch at Shutters?

How about "Rum & Coke?"
Interestingly, there was a famous copyright case about the song, "Rum and Coca-Cola." I think Louis Nizer was involved.

My dad makes enchiladas with flour tortillas. Has for a long time now (maybe 15 years).
Is your dad Nick Hornby?

Before you ask... Croce's is nothing special.

Thanks, that helped.
Well, was it this Porfirio? http://www.cs.amedd.army.mil/rlbc/salinas.htm

One of my college room mates liked to take a flour tortilla, heat it directly on a gas burner on the stove, fill it with refried beans (well, Rosarita's), chorizo and eggs. Yum.

Miscellaneous burrito info. http://www.gti.net/mocolib1/kid/foodmexican.html#burritos

I seem to recall eating something called a carne guisada burrito, chunks of beef in a thick gravy wrapped in a flour tortilla, at Jaime's Spanish Village on Red River in Austin many years ago.

Call me perverse but I like taquitos for breakfast. With salsa.

The DC boyfriend speaks:
As we won't have access to a car while staying in town, we are also looking for a few places to have a nice dinner in the downtown area/Gaslight District. We'd also consider heading to a "must visit" type of place as long as it is accessible by cab and not too far away. (Do you all have cabs in San Diego?!?!)
From the Gaslight District, you can easily catch the trolley to Old Town. Highly recommend Cafe Pacifica there. And yeah there are cabs.

Men's Synchronized Spatchcocking? In Speedos? Team Turnip Tournee? I bet we could get Cauliflower Curling into the Summer Games.
You jest, but if I recall correctly, tournament bridge is now some sort of Olympic sport. Can some sort of Iron Chef event be far behind?

Any suggestions on a good winery that is close to Florence? If it is close enough, we could have a car take us out there or drive ourselves when we pick up the rental car.
I am not sure if going to Sienna by bus or train is really going to gain us much ground winery-wise since we would effectively be in the city and not the countryside.
Thanks!
Ben
p.s. man, this is getting close. I am getting pretty excited!
As you drive around Tuscany, you will see the familiar rooster logo for Chianti. Now, whether or not this will lead to a winery visit is something to be explored. probably best to have some of the on the ground eg'ers guide you.

Any comments on l'Abruci (all the oysters you can eat) + jazz club
or Le Petit Zinc?
Choices, choices...
Many, many years ago, I ate an enormous number of raw oysters at Le Petit Zinc. Very good. Friendly place. Voila! http://www.petitzinc.com/anglais/carte.htm

Depending on your viewpoint, Langer's has the best or second or third best pastrami in the world. It's at 7th & Alvarado, only open to 4 pm, closed Sundays. Just ask for the hand cut pastrami on the excellent rye bread. There's actually an entire thread about our visit to Langer's on this very board! With photos.

Dude, one word: Langer's.

So after a lot of thought
I'd like to reconsider
Please
If it's not too late
Make it a cheeseburger

Culinary speaking, I think the key thing to remember is not to stir out of your house today.

Generally, I'm more concerned about the Ides of April.

I always avoid Caeser's Salad on this day...
My salad days,
When I was green in judgment: cold in blood,
To say as I said then!

For California, I'd suggest something quintessencially California Cuisine-like. Puck did it with Salmon Pizza (but you already have Salmon) so I might suggest something like Lobster Ceviche with Avocado or Duck Confit Quesadillas with Mango Salsa.
Speaking of mango salsas.... http://www.laweekly.com/ink/printme.php?eid=51743

Tighe,
Nice Nirvana quote. And apt too.

Another question: would one suggest pooling our "fine dinind" resources on a single meal at a three star, or perhaps spreading it out over two-three lunches allowing me to taste more chefs' cuisines? What do you think would be more, er, worthy?
A bit of background. I'm relatively well dined in the US, not interested in atmosphere, and not terribly interested in the theatrics of service. I'm just there to taste the food.
You have said things about not being interested in wine, theatrics, atmosphere on the one hand and the fact that you want to taste the food that suggest you might actually enjoy spending time in some flavorful bistros and brasseries rather than in a 3 star temple where whether you want them or not you would be paying for these things you view as nonessential.

I've eaten in the wood paneled room which I thought was very nice. I think most foreigners were in this room.
