Simply Wrong Food: IHOP's Holiday Pancakes
losanjealous has got the Top 30 Facts on local newsanchor Chuck Henry. #21, 22 and 26 tie for our favorites.
Porto's, the busiest Cuban bakery anywhere (well, in Glendale, at least) has decided to try to ease its immense lines by opening in Burbank, Franklin Avenue reports. They like the tres leches cakes; we're fond of the potato balls. God, you just can't type "potato balls" without it sounding dirty.
Speaking of dirty, writer Neal Pollack channels Oprah's internal thoughts during the Frey interview (which sound very Deadwood to us) and then spins off in a million little directions, like: "If I were to write a Memoir of my Drug Addiction, it would be called, I Smoked Pot And Sent A Silly Email To My Ex-Girlfriend, And Then I Watched Futurama For A While."

I first read about Portos on a blog somewhere in like 2001/2002 as an alternative to the overpriced, over-bland fairfax area bakeries. After my first visit, i was hooked! Every time I'm in glendale i have to visit...
I'm always a little skeptical about classic/REAL restaurants branching out - too polished and commercial usually, and they always have to raise prices for superficial stuff that doesn't affect the food (granite floor and modernist lighting sconces)... I still will only eat at Tommys on Rampart and Zankou on Normandie or on Sepulveda. It would be nice to walk in just once and not have [literally] 50-70 customers ahead of you.
I won't judge until i see it though...
