Yummy foods from this week.

Date night dinner at Matteo’s in West L.A. Old Hollywood hangout from the 60’s, Sinatra’s favorite. I ordered the penne arrabiatta. It was the best I ever had.

 

My Paloma cocktail from the old fashioned bar. I hope this place stays alive for a long time.

Panini Kabob Grill in Irvine. The hummus trio. Yummy.

The falafel wrap (without the tzatziki) and amazing lentil soup.
