Prince Street Pizza
Spicy Spring Slice - Fra Diavolo Sauce, Mozzarella, Spicy Pepperoni, Pecorino Romano / 5 🌟!
The Sunset Square Slice - Sunset Marinara, Fresh Garlic, Shredded Mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, EVO / 5 🌟!
Naught Pie Slice - Spicy Vodka Sauce, Spicy Pepperoni, Mozzarella, Ricotta, Honey / 5 🌟!
Prince Street Pizza is a New York pizza place that has been opening up in LA. They've been here a few years already and I am sad that I only just tried them out. They are amazing!
While they have the iconic large, super thin style NY pizza is famous for, Prince Street Pizza is known for their square pie. I love all kinds of pizza. There is something very special about the dough and the crust on these square slices. I had three very large slices and I already want to head back and try out more.
I loved the spicy pepperoni that was on 2 of the slices. It is delicious and captures some of the greasy goodness in the little cups that they generously add to the slices.
The sauces on all three were fantastic. The pies are all quite fresh and tasty. Just a really great place that serves a lot of different slices. I'm glad they decided to open up in LA and I can't wait to go back soon!

Zankou Chicken
Chicken kabob plate / 2 grilled chicken kabobs, grilled tomato, marinated onions, rice, hummus, cucumber salad, pita, garlic sauce - 5 🌟!
Some folks think whole chicken is the way to go at Zankou. Others like the vertical grill meats. I have a personal preference for their kabobs (but definitely enjoy everything on the menu).
Something about the Zankou Chicken kabob plate is magical to me. I'm a big guy, and this is a meal that never fails to fill me up. It is always made fresh to order, and the meats they use are tender and filled with flavor.
The kabob meats are placed on top of a bed of basmati rice, and the standard plate has cucumber salad and hummus. Every bite winds up being awesome.
This is the Burbank location. It's in a place with a big parking lot, so there are no issues there. The decor is whimsical and fun. The place wasn't crowded, so food came out fast for me.
If you are new to LA and want a Mediterranean meal that has many locations, Zankou is a great pic.

The Fox and Hounds
The Full Monty aka Full English Breakfast / two grilled bangers, two Irish bacon rashers, two eggs, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, toast - 5 🌟!
I have an October birthday tradition that I only started last year but have carried on into 2022. I seek out a full English breakfast! Or at least as close as LA can get.
This year I was at The Fox and The Hound.
I forgot to take photos of the restaurant itself. It is a nice English pub with a very good, broad menu with featuring lots of English classics and some American options as well.
But I was there for the English breakfast and it certainly did not disappoint. Very satisfying meal. Everything tasted great! It was a lot close to my house than the place I found last year. They have indoor and outdoor seating and even at 11 am on a weekday it was getting a good crowd.
We also had some sausage rolls that I also forgot to take a pic of. They were made in house and were awesome. Five stars unofficially since there's no photo evidence.

Five Guys
Cheeseburger w/ ketchup, mustard, grilled onion- 5 🌟!
Thick Cut Fries - 5 🌟!
Five Guys naturally gets five stars, one for each guy. But seriously, their burgers are worth each star so there is nothing to worry about. They are one of the more prominent higher end burger franchises but they make sure they back it up with a solid burger. An interesting detail I enjoyed was they don't call it a double burger. Instead, the double is the normal and the single burger is a junior.
I was watching the chef put my order together and he nonchalantly dumped a huge amount of fries into the bag. The amount of fries in the picture is far beyond the serving container. They are nice, thick cut fries. Five Guys has vinegar as a condiment. If you've never tried salt and vinegar fries, it is a good combo to enhance the fries.
I was in the area for a movie and hadn't planned a place to eat at. I felt inspired to go here. I've had their burgers before but it had been a long time. I'll certainly visit other locations for more reviews.

The Little Jewel of New Orleans
Craw Mac Deluxe - crawfish, shrimp, andouille sausage w/ side of corn bread / 5 🌟!
I have know about Little Jewel for a long time now. I go once or twice a year. The owner/chef is often there and he is a boisterous and fun character who clearly cares about his guests.
I have had many po boys here but the chef turned me on to the craw mac a while ago and I often find myself thinking about it, it is that good. It has a Cajun spice to it and it is loaded with proteins. You have to order the deluxe to get the side of corn bread and I recommend it to mop up the juices.
Chinatown has been home recently to some excellent culinary creative chefs but Little Jewel has been around since it transformed into a foodie zone. Check them out if you're in the area and are hankering for some Cajun cuisine.
