And now I'm insanely hungry.

Not sure about macadamia nuts on pizza.

it's actually pretty good. the nuts and the pizza. probably wouldn't have been so good with tomato sauce but this didn't have any. i think it went well with the savory flavors of the parm, sausage and garlic.

Damn, I went to a bunch of really good restaurants when I was in LA a few days ago. I should have taken some pictures. Anyway, there's some real good stuff here.
 
slater 50/50's - huntington beach

epic brewing co. flights:


maple bourbon bacon wings and philly cheesesteak poutine:


snap crackle pop shake (rice crispies atop a milkshake with toasted marshmallow mixed in):
 
Does said place have vegetarian Poutine? It's a whole lot closer to Montreal. ;)

the only other kind they had was a supreme pizza poutine. i'm sure you could order either without the meat. it was good but it's just not the same. no cheese curds and no gravy. at least when variations are done in montreal, it's got a base of gravy + fries + cheese curds and then extra stuff. i remember i had mushrooms and peppers added to one that i got up there and it was quite good. what made the faux poutine at slater's good though was that the fries were good, the provolone was a little chewy (like cheese curds might be), the peppers were crisp and the thinly sliced beef was really good and tender. it supposedly had au jus as the sauce (in place of gravy) but i didn't notice any and it's either meant that way or probably for the better because soggy fries are no fun. a good poutine is covered in gravy but the fries don't get terribly soggy.
 
the slanted door - san francisco, ca

prather ranch beef carpaccio, roasted peanut, lime juice, rau ram, toasted sesame rice cracker.
only 2 pieces of beef left in the photo because i was too hungry to think of taking pics until i was almost done with the dish, lol.

banh khot - rice cake dumplings with white shrimp, mung bean, scallion oil.

medium rare to perfection. seriously, better than any steak i've had at any of the top steakhouses.
