Baja Cioppino. Jumbo Shrimp, crab meat, scallops, clams, calamari, and fresh fish simmered in a mexican seafood broth, chili flakes, cilantro, bell peppers, and garlic toast. I added pasta. Delicious.
I like this place. My dish was tasty, and it was the right portion size.

Picked them up on a whim at Neiman Marcus. Comfortable.
Hi, I’ll take a jumbo 12″ Italian sub delivered….. Uh, huh. My name? Batman. Thanks, see you in 10.

I guess you can say I like mozarella…. a lot. For the third time this week, I needed it to satisfy a lunch craving. This time, I got my fix from Cavaretta’s Italian Deli. Similar to South Bay’s Giulianno’s or Santa Monica’s Bay Cities Italian Deli, Cavaretta’s is an institution to Canoga Park. The place has history and a cult following.
Service is decent, ingredients are of high quality, and the bread is fresh. I’m getting hungry all over again.
Tip: Phone in your order to avoid a potentially long wait time.

Gomorrah was a joy to watch. Gritty and honest, it intertwines five stories of people who were affected by the Camorra, Italy’s largest organized crime syndicate. Matteo Garrone, the director, did an excellent job portraying how entrenched the group is in Italy’s culture and economy. From drugs and weapons to high-fashion textiles and waste management, they’re everywhere.
The above picture is from the story of Marco and Ciro, a couple of wanna-be gangster teens who quote Scarface and try to create their own little gang. Kind of funny.
