Junior’s Delicatessen, R.I.P. – News From ME
www.newsfromme.com
Because Mrs. Ojai and I both worked full time in our office, we wound up eating breakfast out a lot. After we bought a home in West Los Angeles, Junior’s Deli became our regular hang out. It was a huge operation with over 80 employees and a full scale bakery.
By the time we got there, Mr. Saul had passed the business on to his two sons. The food and service were both excellent for many years, although it was clear that the brothers did not get along. Eventually the quality dropped, the restaurant was sold twice and then went out of business. There are more details in Mark’s post from earlier this week.
Over the years, there were three restaurants in the greater Los Angeles area that became part of our lives. We have now survived all three of them.

It's a bummer when when you have to see good places slide downhill and then disappear. Hopefully something new will pop up to take it's place.Junior’s Delicatessen, R.I.P. – News From ME

If you thought (like me) that canned Hormel chili is bad, just try some off-brand no-name canned chili. Ugh.

We made chili dogs last night with a can of Hormel. Bland doesn't begin to describe it.

Bland yet filling, all while providing abundant bowel gases.

I find that problem only happens if you eat it more than once a week.
I think the meat in it is cut with oatmeal.

You could be right, but oatmeal isn't that sharp.
I ate the chili with hot dogs.
That may be why "the warm smell of colitis rises up through the air."

The guy found a simple loop hole that Mickey's should have noticed/remedies. Now that they called him out on it (which is lame as shit on their part), he is crying it has caused him "anxiety".
Yeah, maybe call Alina Habba. Get a really "GOOD" lawyer to represent you for your life-altering "damages" you have suffered. Give me a fucking break.

Indiana Court Rules Burritos and Tacos Qualify as Sandwiches
The decision exemplifies a longstanding issue in legal theory. It also highlights the absurdity of zoning rules.

I started looking at gourmet coffee again from a local coffee roaster (Subculture), and the prices are through the roof. They want $18-20 for a 12oz. bag of whole bean coffee.
I thought paying $9 for a bag of Starbucks ground coffee from Walmart or Target was exorbitant, but now it seems much more reasonable. I'll stick with that, even though I hate that Starbucks is so anti-union.
I know some people think they over roast their coffee ("Charbucks"), but I grew up on Cuban moka pot coffee, so their roasts seem fine to me. I know it's mediocre compared to what I can get from a decent roaster, but I'm not paying $20 for a 12oz bag of coffee.
I recently bought this, and it makes great coffee. I was thinking about getting a Technivurm, but with gourmet coffee so expensive, I'll stop right here.
