I bought 2 turkey legs and roasted them with herbs and vegetables to make the hugest pot of gravy ever. There’s literally enough gravy for two dinners here.

I wish I tried this place sooner… It was great comfort food. Thanks Ryan for letting me use your pics!
A view of Canter's from Fairfax... the parking lot is right there to the left, unlike Langer's, who's parking lot is a block away, and is closed on Sundays.
I've seen this sign so many times in tv shows and movies.
It was HUGE inside! The restaurant was packed, but there were still plenty of empty tables.
First thing we got were the pickles. They weren't very good, but you gotta have pickles at a Jewish Delicatessen.
Anthony Bourdain says to order Dr. Brown's Cel Ray soda at Katz's Deli, but I forgot. I made up for it with this meal. It's celery flavored soda!
My first matzo ball soup with bagel chips. This was ultra comfort food! Soup tasted like a chicken broth... the matzo ball was like a juicy soaked bread, similar to the corn meal in turkey stuffing but without the intense flavors.
Corned Beef with Cabbage and Potatoes - a childhood favorite. GOOD!
Ruben sandwich with fatty fries. Good!
Pastrami and corned beef sandwich. I thought the corned beef was a little overbearing to combine with the pastrami, but it was still good.
Conclusion: Canter’s is really good. It’s open 24/7 which means you can eat it whenever you feel like it – literally! It’s got cool old Hollywood charm, and it’s common to see celebrities here. If I had to compare the food with Katz’s, I would tell you to go shoot yourself. Katz’s is on an entirely different level… If I had to rate, Canter’s is a 9 out of 10 and Katz’s is 12 out of 10. Canter’s is still good, but man… Katz’s is touched-by-God good.

I made this up in my head and cooked it up last night. The idea came from different things I’ve cooked or eaten in the past combined with what I had in the fridge and freezer.
First I rolled up some pounded chicken breast with prosciutto, spinach and cheese. I tied it up with bucher’s twine. Then I seared it on all sides in some rosemary and garlic infused butter and olive oil.
I deglazed the pan with some chicken stock and cooked the rolled chicken with some orzo, tomatoes and more rosemary.
It always feels good when everybody is fighting for the leftovers.
With mozarella and dipped
Can't forget my favorite peppers in the world
Whenever I’m in the Irvine area I like to eat at the places I used to frequent back in my UCI days.
Last weekend the family and I decided to go to the beach so we stopped into Kohryu for dinner. I always thought Kohryu was unique because, besides the typical Japanese food like Ramen, they serve Chinese food with a Japanese twist. I always order their Chinese food because although their ramen is decent, I’d rather go somewhere better like Santouka or Daikokuya.
The food is not spectacular, but it’s good.
We started off with their homemade gyoza and beer combo. This combination is my newest obsession.
Miso beef and cabbage
An omelette with gravy over rice
Japanese style chow mein
I’ve been working hard trying to figure out how to best make a burger.
This is what I made last weekend… but I was too drunk and hungry to actually know how good it was.
