GRUBLR / LA

GRUBLR is a hot new exciting grublog dedicated to reviews of eats, yums, and of course GRUBS. Our goal is to make or break restaurants and grubberies with our venomous and glowing reviews. We will not compromise and we will not be bought.



EVERYONE WON THE GRUBLR BOWL

EVERYONE WON THE GRUBLR BOWL


On The Block: Coles (Downtown LA) THERES TWO PLACES THAT CLAIM THE FIRST FRENCH DIP AND THEY’RE BOTH REALLY RAD AND THIS PLACE IS TOTALLY ONE OF THEM. THE OTHER ONE IS PHILLIPS AND IT’S GREAT BUT THEY DON’T ACTUALLY LET YOU DIP YOUR OWN IN THE AUI JUICE BUT THIS ONE DOES SO I LIKE IT BETTER. NOT WAY BETTER THOUGH BUT BETTER. PLUS THIS PLACE HAS HEFS WHICH IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THE OTHER PLACE DOESN’T HAVE. MY FRIEND AND HIS GIRL TOOK ME AN MY GIRL HERE FOR DINNER BEFORE A SHOW CAUSE SHE TOOK CARE OF THERE ADORABLE CAT. ANYWAYS WHEN WE WENT IN THERE WAS A SECRET BAR DOOR TO A SECRET BAR NEXT DOOR, REAL GANGSTER WHICH IS COOL. WE WERE IN A BIT OF RUSH SO WE DIDN’T REALLY HAVE THE FULL KICK BACK EXPERIENCE BUT WE DID GRAB A QUICK PECAN PIE FOR THE ROAD. NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY, I WAS STRAIGHT UP FULL BUT I ATE IT ANYWAYS, CAME WITH ICE CREAM. ALWAYS IMAGINE IN MY MIND THAT I CAN EAT ICE CREAM EVEN WHEN I’M STRAIGHT UP FULL BECAUSE IT JUST FITS IN THE CRACKS WHERE THE FOOD CAN’T BEND, LIKE ELMERS GLUE OR SOMETHING. Verdict: 9 GRUBBYS (I’D EAT THERE EVERY DAY PROBABLY IF IT WAS BY WHERE I WORK)

ANYWAYS HE SAID THIS PLACE WAS GOOD, ME AND MY GIRL DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK A COUPLE TIMES TO FIND IT AND THEN WE DID AND WE WEREN’T SURE IT WAS IT BUT IT WAS. PAUL FOUND US, HARDLY ANYONE WAS THERE AND THEY HAD A SWEET JUKE THAT PLAYED ALL MY FAVORITE 90S JAMS. WE ATE DEEP FRIED MUSHROOMS I THINK AND THEY WERE MAGICAL, (HAHAHA SAW HELLA TRAILS AND SHIT). ANYWAYS, SO GOOD AND MY BURGER HAD WEIRD STUFF ON IT WHICH IS ALWAYS A JAM, FUCK WHAT WAS ON IT??? SO FRUSTRATING. HANG ON I’M THINKING.

I ATE AN ITALIAN BEEF. SO FUCKING GOOD, GOT PEPPERS ON IT AND EVERYTHING AND SMALL FRIES TOO, SO GOOD TOO. USUALLY I GET THE BIG BEEF THERE AND ITS GREAT BUT I’M COUNTING CALORIES (MYFITNESSPAL.COM REPRESENT!!!!). ANYWAYS, IT WAS SO GREAT, AND THE PRICE WAS RIGHT CUZ I DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TO PAY! WILL DEF BE GRUBBIN BACK AT TILLOS RILLY SOON. OH!!!! ALMOST FORGOT! THE PEOPLE WHO CALL OUT YOUR NUMBER MAKE IT RHYME (I.E. “NUMBER 232, WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU”), KIND OF LAME, BUT ALSO KINDA RAD IN A WEIRD WAY. ANYWAYS, REALLY TIRED, GOING BACK TO WATCH LENNY BUST SOME FOOLS ON LAW & ORDER. LATE. Verdict: 7 GRUBS (KINDA FAR AWAY FROM ME BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT IF I’M AROUND THERE ALREADY FOR SURE)

ON THE BLOCK: MOTHER DOUGH WENT HERE LAST NIGHT BEFORE AN AWESOME PAJAMA PARTY AT A FRIEND’S HOUSE. PARKING WAS FOR SHIT BUT THAT’S FORGIVEN CAUSE THERE’S LOTS OF BEERS I NEVER HEARD OF ON THE MENU. KNEW I WAS IN GOOD SHAPE WHEN I ORDERED A HEF AND THE BRO BROUGHT THE BEER I ACCIDENTALLY ORDERED FIRST BEFORE I RE-DECIDED (SORRY MD, THAT’S MINUS 1 GRUB). IT WAS OK THOUGH, THE PLACE SMELLED GOOD AND THE CONVERSATIONS WAS RAD. MY FRIENDS DON’T EAT RED MEET OR SOMETHING SO THEY ORDERED SOME WEIRD SALAD WITH A BALL OF FANCY CHEESE ON TOP OF IT, ME AND MY GIRL ORDERED A PLATTER OF MEAT I’VE NEVER HEARD OF BUT IT WAS PRETTY RAD. MY FRIEND STOLE SOME OF IT THOUGH BUT I WASN’T MAD, EVEN THOUGH HE HOGGED A PIECE OF BREAD, BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE FINE, I NEEDED SAVE ROOM FOR THE MAIN EVENT. MY FRIENDS ORDERED LIKE MARGARITA PIZZA OR SOME SHIT WITH SOME STUFF ON IT I’VE NEVER SEEN, THERE PIZZA WAS MOSTLY LIKE REALLY LIGHT YELLOW WITH STRINGS OF SOMETHING ON IT. ME AND MY GIRL SPLIT SOME FANCY MEAT PIZZA. WE ALL AGREED THAT THESE PIZZAS WERE PRETTY SALADY BUT TASTED PRETTY GOOD. WELL ACTUALLY MY GIRL FUCKING WASN’T THAT INTO THAT SHIT (SORRY BROS, YOU FAILED THAT PART, THAT’S ANOTHER MINUS ONE GRUB POINT, NOT YOUR FAULT THOUGH). ANYWAYS THE PARTY WAS RAD, MOLES WAS THERE AND TALKED TO CHRISTIAN WHO I HAVEN’T SEEN IN A WHILE. VERDICT: 3 GPs / WOULD GRAB GRUB THERE AGAIN BUT NOT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND CAUSE SHE WAS SORT OF SO-SO ON IT.
