Paris Baguette - @@@

Who knew that this seemingly French bakery would be run by Koreans?? I guess that's LA for you. We went here for a brunch-ish activity while in town for a wedding and had some pretty good items.

I personally penalize it on the basis of not loving sweets and rather having savory foods especially for a meal. Nonetheless had some unique (for me at least) dishes. Besides the obvious cookies - which were a great touch on the day - I had some sausage roll (top left), cronut (top right) and my favorite some strawberry pastry with cream. Please note the grease from the cronut in the picture...I'm sure it was a super nutritious way to start the day!

For those that enjoy some good baked goods, come here if you get a chance. It is Asian style in that you grab a tray and the items are all in plastic self serve containers so you can examine and choose your selections as you wish.

Moodaepo Fullerton - @@@@

Massive amounts of all you can eat Korean bbq in Fullerton. Went late at night and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of patrons. This is just an unseen phenomenon in Midwest places like Detroit. Quality was as good as I could've wanted and they did not seem phased at all by repeated orderings of beef brisket (left) and bulgogi (right). Also pictured is teriyaki chicken which was alright. Would take the beef any day of the week. Only bummer was the tiered pricing which limits the amount of kalbi to be consumed. Since I went with my younger cousin who had never been there, we stuck with the basics as at the end of the day it is "meat".

Only hesitation in returning next time I go out to the area is the numerous other Korean spots to check out. Again in Michigan I would be a repeat visitor.

Pro tip: if going to eat lots, make sure you go with a college track athlete that can consume the same if not more than you so you don't seem insane at your old age. Thanks Dave!!
