Cavaretta’s Deli: Caprese Sandwich

April 15, 2010 Gourmet, Italy No Comments

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 – Awesome Italian Gangster Film

April 15, 2010 Film, Italy No Comments

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.

Ichimi Ann Honten (Bamboo Garden)

April 9, 2010 Gourmet, Japan No Comments

For lunch, craved soba, so I dropped by this much-hyped about place in Downtown Torrance. It’s a self-service, standing soba shop, something pretty common in Japan. Order and pay first, help yourself to hot or cold tea, and even pour your own soba yu. No frills, just a nice atmosphere and quality food.

They import their buckwheat from Japan, and make the noodles fresh daily.

Indeed, as part of the Inaba group, the soba was pretty much the same as that served at I-naba and Ichimi Ann Rolling Hills. That means, fantastic. Of course, soba wasn’t the only thing I ordered.
