Ivy at the Shore

Father's day as we know is the day for children to obey everything their father says without any hesitation. We usually go to Campanile for Father's day, but due to miscommunication with the landlord, the restaurant closed unexpectedly this past year. My father thought the " Ivy at the Shore" would be suffice for this annual occation. The restaurant is located on Ocean Ave with a lovely view of the ocean. Due to the occasion the restaurant had a special brunch for those fathers. While looking through the drink menu I noticed that they had quite a broad range of juices to choose from. I decided to order a glass of pineapple juice. I was waiting for my beverage for a bit until I asked the waitor where my drink was, he replies "it is being juiced as we speak." The pineapple juice was some of the best I had ever had the opportunity of trying. The juice was filled about three quarters of the glass, while the remaining fourth is was foam made from the juice. I woke up that morning with a sweet tooth, and the special for the day was their one of a kind french toast. The french toast was soft and had enough for flavor so that I did not need to top it off with a boatload of syrup. The side of fruit that came along side my dish was some of the most fresh fruit I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The raspberries tasted like they had just picked these an hour ago. I had nothing to complain about at the end of the meal. I gave the restaurant a 9/10 on the conch scale due to the tastiness of the food and the flawless service we had.

Plan Check

Well school is out, and I do not know what to do now. You always says it is going to be so much better once you hear that final bell ring, but now that I have so much time, I do not know what to do. I always  am open into trying restaurants who claim they are home to the best burger in Los Angeles. I have been to Umami Burger, Marty's, and Houston's, which all meet my ridicolously high standards, but I am sick of the same places, I need a change. Located on Sawtelle Blvd roughly a block south of Santa Monica Blvd, there is a corner burger joint known to the plublic as Plan Check. The restaurant is suitable for all ages, as it has a strong barscene with flat screen televisions brodcasting sports, while the outside dining area is relaxing. I am so obsessed with their one of a kind burger, the "Plan Check Burger," which is the combination of americanized dashi chesse, ketchup leather, schmaltz onions, mixed pickles, and a crunch bun. I was a little hesitant to try the ketchup leather but it turned out to be quite tasty. It is a solid layer of their home made ketchup, which resembles a slice of cheese, but has the taste of what one would think is just normal ketchup. It only takes about ten to fifteen minutes from when you order your food for that hot sizzling burger to come out on a pan. After I took my first bite in that juicy burger, I knew it would be a taste I would never forget. The combination of the crunch bun with the juicy from the sizzling meat combines to form one hell of a burger. The burgers are not huge in size, but are quite rich due to the truffle oil. I gave Plan Check a 9/10 on the Conch Scale, which is quite high compared to the previous restaurants that I have reviewed. I was quite impressed with all aspects of my meal.
