Haven't been to it but heard good things about the food and the beer choices. I tend to stay away from OB, too many college kids, bro's and hippies. lol

i had dinner at osteria mozza about 4 years ago. pretty much 4 years to the date of my last pizzeria mozza visit (anniversary dinner both times, haha!). it was good, but the pasta's a little too al dente for my taste. i like it al dente but molto does his pasta about a minute or two less than standard so the pasta is borderline crunchy. dessert is the best thing at his places though.

it's not crunchy like it is out of the box, haha. maybe chewy is a better word. I'd say it's like if for instance you should boil spaghetti for 9-10 min to get it perfectly al dente but molto takes his out at 7-7.5 minutes...
I've heard him expressly say that he likes it cooked less so all his restaurants follow that dictum.
I like that crispy noodle chow mein dish also... but it's meant to be crispy!

that's a possibility but i feel like it's not that kind of restaurant. lol. pretty fancy and people kind of just take their time eating there. so i don't know about pumping lots of plates out, hahaha. i got linguine with clams, pancetta and fresno chiles so not much of a sauce. honestly, it was good anyway and i'd go again. i just haven't had the chance to go up to that part of LA in a while. it was great though. i was 8 months preggy, they sat me at the bar so i wouldn't have to stand up while waiting for my table and they gave me some water. then i ordered wine with my dinner without any probs. apparently, some places'll subject you to their own personal moral judgements. (for the record, i only had a glass of wine once every 2 weeks, kid turned out fine).

I'm not judging!
haha. i didn't think you would but i've seen people post about it here on lgk before. then there was a time i distinctly remember where i was at a wedding and some older gentleman was chatting with us and as he went off to get a glass of champagne for the toast, he said "none for you!" and laughed. i went and had one anyway, but it's so funny how people think they can make the decision for you.
i actually talked to a doctor friend of mine and he said that most of those studies are based on women who drink a 1/5 of alcohol a day. like you say, alcoholics.
There's a rumor that my mom used to drink when she was pregnant with me. She should consider herself lucky I wasn't born deformed..oh wait. mhihi:
Hmmm, now I want crispy noodle chow mein!
my husband's mom drank and smoked while pregnant with my sister-in-law. that was normal in 1968 paris. judging by madmen... probably normal here in the 60s also. then she quit smoking because of my father-in-law's asthma so she only drank while pregnant with my husband. both kids are fine. brainiacs, too. my personal inclination would not be to smoke while pregnant, but like mentioned... as long as you're not regularly downing large amounts of alcohol and there aren't any issues with the pregnancy itself, i don't see a prob with wine once in a while.
now i want crispy noodle chow mein, too. damnit!

I may or may not go across the street to Blacks instead.
Hodad's is decent, they have a downtown location if I really want it but I rather go to Crazee burger in Northpark

I didn't get a pic, but did anyone try the new Ludo stand at Staples? The wait to get the actual food was super slow because of the cooking time and general mistakes a new place makes that doesn't anticipate a crowd. I ordered the chicken strips with special Ludo sauce for $11.50. All sides are extra. The sauce was nothing special. You got two chicken strips and I thought they were salty. I think I'll stick with the sushi.

I love me some fried chicken but whoa, two chicken strips for $11.50+?! Goes to show I haven't been to a game for awhile to feel the sticker shock of over-priced vendors. Say what you will but I still haven't found anything more consistently satisfying then some frozen Tyson's chicken strips. haha. I did eat the frozen Claim Jumper's strips for awhile but they got old pretty fast.
