Speaker 1: diary for you, oh mate. Lots lots of food reviews

00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: for you. I'm halfway through Maliburi Rising, so hopefully a

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: book review for you next week. I have a movie

11
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: review for you. So I just think let's crack on in,

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: shall we. Coming to you from Lovely Los Angeles Radio.

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: Oh ps, there's a few sayings in LA. I've been

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: here a bit now to get you some So there's

15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: a thing called May gray in LA and June gloom,

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: so it's like right before summer hits it still can

17
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: be cold and a bit gloomy and a bit gray,

18
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: especially on the West side, which is where I've been

19
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: spending my time this year, whereas in the past I've

20
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: always been east in Los Phelis, which it's like five

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: degrees hotter, And so when people would be like, ah,

22
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: gray May, I'd be like what, or gee, June Gloom,

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: I'd be like, what are you talking about?

24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: It's hot. It's literally a whole five degrees cool.

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: Like I've been walking kind of around the beach and

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: that kind of area around Santa Monica and stuff, and

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: you got to wear a jumper. So interesting that gray

28
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: May is a thing and June Gloom is a thing.

29
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: Just if you're traveling to La you would not think

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with it, but just Los Angeleans will

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: say it. The other thing is there's this it can

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: get really windy this timing year. It's like change of season, right,

33
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: it's going into spring vibes or tefically, I think it

34
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: is spring. Anyway, they call it. Oh, there's a name Sanna,

35
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Santa Anna, Santa Ana wins, and it's like there's a

36
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: saying with like anything can happen with these wins.

37
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: There's like a.

38
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: Kind of like whimsical meaning to it all. But I

39
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: think they're called the Santa Ana Winds. I could be

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: saying that totally wrong, right, Yo. First of all, I

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: went to an influence event, actually my first influencer event

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: this year in La. My friend Chanelle took me. I

43
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: went as her plus one and it was for the

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: launch of this awesome as I found out on the

45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: way there Byron Bay based clothing label, Australian based clothing

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: label called and I hope I'm saying it's right moom

47
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: as well. So it's either Muma's World or mom as Well,

48
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: but I think it's Momis World and it's been created

49
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: by this lovely founder Sasca, who if you watched Byron Bays,

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure her and her partner are on that.

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: But anyway, this stuff is really cool. It's kind of

52
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: like Palm Springs meets La meets Byron Bay luxury kind

53
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: of it feels like not holiday, but like there's like

54
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: a casualness to it, but then it's also super lux

55
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: and gorgeous. It's all very silky and anyway, they careered

56
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: over an outfit for me to wear this event. So

57
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: the event was at this place in I think it's

58
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: in Hancock Park, but it's on Melrose av right, so

59
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: not far from West Hollywood at all, and it'd be

60
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: like right on the Cusp.

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: And it is called Meteora. It looks like you're in

62
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: too loom.

63
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Like there is like hanging plants and all these like

64
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: wooden accents and they're burning this kind of really cool

65
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: incensey smell, and it's a full experience for the sensors.

66
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: They own another restaurant that has two Michelin stars, and

67
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: so you can see that they're kind of going for

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: that here too. So it's that real deconstructed kind of meals.

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: We did a five course tasting menu. I actually took

70
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: a photo of the menu for you because I was like, look,

71
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to want to share this, right, I'm going

72
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: to want to tell But it's a really fun ex

73
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: experience too if you're in LA and you're like I

74
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: just want something that's not going to be like back home. Now,

75
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: where is this menu?

76
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: Here?

77
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: We go? Okay, So we started off with the Stonnington Scollop.

78
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: I think Stonnington is a place on the East Coast.

79
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: I think so Stonnington scallop. So it says with six

80
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: So it was with six hour roasted pineapple, long ganzina oil,

81
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: and habanero ash. The scalps were cooked in a citrus

82
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: like literally orange juice. The second course was burnt yam.

83
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: This was my favorite, yeast butter emulsion, smoked trout, row

84
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: red maridol, papaya and grilled hazel nuts. That was delicious.

85
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: So yam is very much similar to sweet potato. Then

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: we had spring peas grilled over embers, smoked almond cream,

87
00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: boiled peanuts, and candied mottia chili. Then you could pick

88
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: for your choice of the wild Pacific halibate, which is

89
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: a whitefish twenty one day aged duck breast grass fed

90
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: wago from New Zealand or oh that the next one

91
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: of the dessert. I went the wago. She now went

92
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: the halibet and we kind of shared a bit of

93
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: each and both were amazing. And then the dessert was

94
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: whole mandarin saorbet with tiger nut, moose, young coconut wood drift,

95
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: almond pastry and parsinate milk. Incredible. You could do wine pairings,

96
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: but I was driving, so I did the non alcoholic pairings,

97
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: as did now and so it was like co butcher's

98
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: and teas all designed to match each course.

99
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: Really cool.

100
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: I did get a cocktail at the very beginning when

101
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: we got there, and that had like lemon, grass, ginger

102
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: and pineapple and it was really yummy, and it had

103
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: like cammamal flowers in it and was gorge gorge, gorge gorge.

104
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: But the meal was amazing. Their fashion label, I think

105
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: it's called Moomer's World, is beautiful and like bright and

106
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: fun and there's like it feels like there's like an

107
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I would call it like luxury with ease. And I

108
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: was wearing this set of pants and then like a

109
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: big like scarfing that you tie around that I tied

110
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: around like a top so fun.

111
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: Loved it. I can't wait to hear it again.

112
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: And I yeah, I just think that's going to definitely

113
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 1: a brand to watch because these guys are for sure

114
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: blowing up and doing really well.

115
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: Okay.

116
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Another experience was my dear friend Alex's birthday. She really

117
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: wanted to go to the Dodgers for her birthday. Now,

118
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: George's Stadium is notoriously hard to get to if you

119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: don't live on the East and being west, what should

120
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: be like a forty five minute drive quickly becomes a

121
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: two hour drive if it's a nightmare a Friday night match,

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: because that's what everyone goes to. There's like ninety thousand

123
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: people there and we all you always stay for the fireworks.

124
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: So we thought, okay, well, let's have an early dinner

125
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: in downtown La which is like five minutes from the stadium.

126
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: And then you know that saves the traffic time. So

127
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: we went to this Mexican place in downtown La cordt

128
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: oh Lost Pelars Pearlers. Hope, I'm saying that right. There's

129
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: also another location in West Hollywood. We got the Cassadea.

130
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: We got two different types of taco. There was a

131
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: like slow roasted pork with pineapple, and then I snagged

132
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: a friend's chicken one. The chicken one was epic, and

133
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: then we just got Guaca chippies and I had two

134
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: mez cow skinny marks and they were really really good.

135
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: I quite like mez cow because it's got that smoky

136
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: kind of aftertaste, so it feels quite different to tequila.

137
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: You probably know this by now.

138
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm not a big drinker, but like I do like

139
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: an of food experience mixed with a drill. Like I

140
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: like to match my flavors, so I feel like the

141
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: mez Cow margs are so yummy with Mexican. So then

142
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: we went to the Dodgers game. It was the Dodgers

143
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: versus the Padres, so I think they're San Diego.

144
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: And Dodgers one.

145
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: And what was really cool was while it was going on,

146
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs were happening in the NBA, which was the

147
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: Lakers versus the Warriors and Golden State Warriors I think

148
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: they're called. And so like in between the Dodgers' matches,

149
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: they'd play on the big screen some of the playoffs

150
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: and it's like, right at that point end, like that game,

151
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: that La Lakers game, basically like Leonardo DiCaprio was there,

152
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny, Kim Kardashian, Jack Nicholson, like all

153
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: the big stars.

154
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: Like the playoffs is what you want to go to.

155
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: The tickets are crazy expensive too, So anyway, as where

156
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: so the Dodgers win, right, and then basically they'll let

157
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: you file down to the actual I want to say pitch,

158
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: but no, it's like, you know, you're in the stadium

159
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: and you walk onto the grass, right, but like what

160
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: you used to do at the MCG. You know in

161
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: the nineties they'd let you go on to the MCG

162
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: and kick the ball with it. We used to always

163
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: do it with Dad and my bro. You go on

164
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: to the grass, Anyway, my point is, so they do

165
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: that at the Dodger Stadium and so you can stand

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: there and watch the fireworks essentially, and we were kind

167
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: of trying to They do block it off at a

168
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: certain amount of people, so we were trying to kind

169
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: of make our way there. And then as we were

170
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: walking to the field, they were playing the final moments

171
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: that LA Warriors Warriors Yeah game. And it was cool because,

172
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers fans were going wild as the Lakers won.

173
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: It was really cool.

174
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: Just made me feel very felt like a very cool

175
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: LA sporting moment. So that was awesome. That was a

176
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: really really fun night. Now what else have I tried?

177
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

178
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: Now, I promised last week I would try Goop Kitchen

179
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: for a salad and I would try Outvalve for a salad.

180
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: My friends I have done both. So I went to

181
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: Goop Kitchen and I just tried their simple chopped salad.

182
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: Interesting fact, if you are in LA and want to

183
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: go to Goroop Kitchen, it is all created in like

184
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: an industrial kitchen where you go in, you order it

185
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: off iPad. There are like fifteen other companies that you

186
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: order food out of this one location too, like from

187
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: Prince street pizzas, to like juice companies, to everything. So

188
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: it's not like you're getting some luxurious Goop kitchen experience.

189
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: You literally audo your food. You wait there, they give

190
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: it to You can either sit in the courtyard, which

191
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: is what I did, or you can take it home.

192
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: So I just got the chop salad and it's got

193
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: like this like flaff.

194
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: Or crumble thing on top.

195
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: There's some marinated dates and then that make it really

196
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: yummy and sweet. But then there's like beats loads of

197
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: greens seeds. I think they put a little bit of

198
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: cheese in there too. Really yummy, wasn't crazy. I picked

199
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: the cheapest salad on the menu, which was fourteen dollars fifty.

200
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: As soon as you start adding extra proteins and stuff,

201
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: it quickly becomes a twenty dollars salad American, which is

202
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: like thirty dollars lossie, maybe a bit more, but it.

203
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: Was really nice.

204
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: I also got their gluten free vegan carrot cake, which

205
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: was so good and like the perfect consistency, perfect amount

206
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: of spice, so so yummy. And I was getting my

207
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: period last week. I was like a little I was

208
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: just in sweet tooth.

209
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: You know when you're just like in sweet tooth mode.

210
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: So then I also got a dark chocolate gluten free

211
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: plant based brownie. Also delicious carrot cake winds. Though, if

212
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: you're ever ordering from Good Kitchen, then In the last week,

213
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: I've also visited Alfalfa, which is in Santa Monica. It's

214
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: a salad bar essentially, so I got the Buffalo Goddess.

215
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: It's got an alfalfa mix, which is like their greens mix,

216
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: wild rice, buffalo cliflowers.

217
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: That just means coliflower.

218
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Cooked in these kind of like buffalo spices, Brussels sprouts,

219
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: sweet potato, sunflower seeds, creamy goat cheese, green Goddess ranch

220
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: got it all gluten free.

221
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: I really liked it.

222
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: It was a bit too ranchy dressing for me, but

223
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: because with the dressing you can get it on the

224
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: side mixed through light, medium or heavy. I should I

225
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: picked heavy. I should not have guys, I should not.

226
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: I should have said a line. It was just a

227
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: bit too creamy, but it was really really nice and

228
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: yummy and just a fun salad from the go.

229
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: You know.

230
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: The other food experience, Oh my gods, so many food experiences.

231
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: In the last week.

232
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: I've had two other ones to talk to you about.

233
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: My friend Alex and I were talking about this place

234
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: in Brentwood called Pizzana. It's everywhere they do gluten free pizzas,

235
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: and so we're like, let's finally have this pizzana experience.

236
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: I've told you about Prince Street Pizza, which is more

237
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: that New York like square pieces of pizza. That was

238
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: ten out of ten Pizzana. We got the Katcher pep

239
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: beer pizza.

240
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: We got a.

241
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: Vodka sauce pizza with anchovy, and we got a simple margarita.

242
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: And then Americans do this thing where they put honey

243
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: on anything that's either meat or spicy, and so we

244
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: put a little bit of honey on top of the

245
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: vodka one.

246
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, neck levels so good.

247
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: And then we've got an olive oil chocolate moose cake thing,

248
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: which was like imagine you know those wool Woolies chocolate cakes,

249
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: imagine that, but made like fine dining version. It was

250
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: so good and like eggy, so yummy. Loved it really good.

251
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: And then I have one. If you're a sushi fan

252
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: and you love going out for Japanese, you have to

253
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: go to this place. It's called Kasanori it's the same

254
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: owners as Sugarfish. So Sugarfish is like an iconic place

255
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: in our way to go for sushi. It's delicious, kind

256
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: of expensive but really yummy. You know, everything you're gonna

257
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: get is so fresh and ten out of ten. So

258
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 1: this is the same owners. The price point is a

259
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: little bit less and it's just hand rolls. So you

260
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: go in and you can get three hand rolls of fifteen,

261
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: four for nineteen five for like I'm guessing twenty something

262
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: and then six. Basically they're your options that you can

263
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: get it with saki whatever you want, right, And I

264
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: got the four option. I got salmon u shioving me

Speaker 1: the crab toro th I'm saying that, right, which is

267
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: like the fatty underbelly bit of the tuna delush and

268
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: tuna and sea bream, which I think.

269
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: Was like full rawy vibes.

270
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: And then they give you proper with sarbi proper not

271
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: dyed ginger, and tamari really good. You just walk in,

272
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: you can't book, and you sit around like at a bar.

273
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: They're a chain, so that like Sugarfich, you'll find them

274
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: around la Kasunori really good, really yummy, highly highly highly

275
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: wreck o meant yeah. Okay, so that's all the food stuff.

276
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: Now I've got the bar stuff. So you know, I've

277
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: talked to you about smart sweets before. I saw these actually

278
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: last night. So they're red twists, so like red liquorice.

279
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: They were good.

280
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why I got it. I don't really

281
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: like red liquife that much, but it was good if

282
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: you like red licorice. I was running between jobs and

283
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: I ran into a health food store and I picked

284
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: up this nutty pumpkin bread.

285
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: It's basically just a bar.

286
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: The brand is called Base Culture, grain free, gluten free,

287
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: dairy free, preservative free, pure Paleo ingredients. It was good,

288
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: wasn't wow, But the macros were good.

289
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: I remember so three.

290
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: So it's high in coals, but usually Quito's stuff and

291
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: Paleo stuff is. But there was how much sugar? Oh,

292
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: there's still ten grams of sugar. Okay, so probably a

293
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: bit too much sugar. Won't be getting that one again.

294
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: I again went back and tried legendary bars. You know,

295
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: we've talked about these before, so basically they read like

296
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: a protein bar. Twenty grams of protein, four grams of

297
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: net carbs, and I last time I got like the

298
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: little cinnamon scroll version and the wild urious scroll. Anyway,

299
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: I got this birthday cake flavored protein pastry. Not a fan, guys,

300
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: it's too fake. I just can't can't do it. I

301
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: know the macros read well, the ingredients aren't that clean.

302
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: They're like all the flavors. And I'm pretty sure there's

303
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: some seed oil in here. I should check that before

304
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: I say that. Yeah, sunflower oil palm. Well, but it

305
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: says higher Lake sunflower oil. But there's like red dye sucralose,

306
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: which we don't want. Okay, So there legendary bars are

307
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: out slap my wrists if I ever try them again

308
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: and tell you about them. Oh, I got one really

309
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: yummy health treat from air one. You know how much

310
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: other hair one. I had ended a meeting there yesterday,

311
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: and I got the big green juice that I love

312
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: from their great coffee there. Here's the hack. All their

313
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: nut milks are made in the house, so you get it.

314
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: You get a latte on half arm and half coconut

315
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: milk ten out of ten, perfect combo of.

316
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: Like creamy and sweet.

317
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: Oh without nych sugars so good, and then yeah, we

318
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: got the big green juice, and then I wanted to

319
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: get some chlorophyll because I'm gonna do some saunering, and

320
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, a little bit of a detox. As

321
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: you can tell, I've been on quite the little food adventure,

322
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: and I just haven't, you know, moved my body the

323
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: way I like to the last week or so. A

324
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: full disclosure, I think I might have mentioned this to

325
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: you before, but after doing iv before doing IVF, I

326
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: had subclinical PCOS and had no idea, and then after

327
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: doing IVF, it manifested right, So I had full adult acne,

328
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: put on loads of weight, and I worked really closer

329
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: with that doctor to kind of like get my health

330
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: back on track, but it was full on anyway, I'm

331
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: noticing my cycles are starting to drag out again, so

332
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: basically I'm starting to get super long cycles again, because

333
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: that's one of the signs of PCOS. So I'm already

334
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: trying to just like I'm trying to really like rein

335
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: it in and like keep their surf with p sos.

336
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: I always try to like watch carbohydrate, keep the good fats,

337
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: keep the good proteins you use berries and whatnot as

338
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: sweets and just kind of like find the balance that way.

339
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, once you have a taste of the sweetening,

340
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: if it is quite hard to pull that handbrake up.

341
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: So I'm just slowly, slowly kind of like cleaning up,

342
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: cleaning up.

343
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: That said, I loved every second of my food adventures.

344
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: So anyway, I found this awesome raw s roll from

345
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: Air one. So it's in the fridge section.

346
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: It's raw.

347
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: It doesn't look anything like a cinnamon roll really, but

348
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: it's really clean. So they use gluten free oats, pecans,

349
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: filtered water, maple syrup, date cillium, husk, cinnamon, vanilla extract,

350
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: top ten to rolls. I can never say that word right,

351
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: pink salt and it's all organic. It's really good, and

352
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: it's really good if you just want a sweet treat

353
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: without feeling terrible after So that was really good. I

354
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: got that yesterday and had that is my deserved after dinner.

355
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: All right, gang, So oh, I have a movie with

356
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: you for you look at me all over the shop.

357
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: You wouldn't think I have notes in front of me,

358
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: I assure you I do. Okay, we watched Air so

359
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: I think it's out in Australia on Amazon Prime. It's

360
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: been in the theaters here. And I listened to a

361
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: podcast where SmartLess, which is Jason Bateman, Will Onett and

362
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: Sean Ryer, Sean hath I always get Sean Hayes from Anyway,

363
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: the actor off Will and Grace. They interviewed Ben Affleck

364
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: on the pod as a promo for Air, which is

365
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: the new movie that Ben A Fleck has directed, executive

366
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: produced and start in. Jason Bateman is also in it.

367
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: It's essentially about how Nike acquired Michael Jordan for as

368
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: the collab for Nike, and you know, the rest is

369
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: history essentially, and.

370
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: It's a really good story. Matt Damon is in it

371
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 2: as well.

372
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: So I was after having listened to this podcast episode

373
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: of smartlest which would highly recommend. So just type in

374
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: SmartLess Ben Affleck, it will come up straight away. I

375
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: must say I was really excited to.

376
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 2: See a movie.

377
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: It's a great movie. It's light, it's fun, it's inspiring.

378
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 1: It's kind of the thing you can just sit down

379
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: and watch. It's shot really simply, like I think from

380
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: what I heard on the pod, they shot in a

381
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: very small timeline and window. But yeah, look I would

382
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: recommend it if you just want to watch a movie

383
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: with like.

384
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: Family, all of that. It's great.

385
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: I loved it and it's fun, like Ben Affleck's character

386
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: drives an awesome car, and like you're obviously seeing some

387
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: cool Nike shoes in there as well. So I recommend

388
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: that on Amazon Prime right now, I think worldwide, so

389
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: you can totally watch that today.

390
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: All right, that's me, Gangles. I've got yoga.

391
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: I think I told you I got a job at

392
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: a yoga studios. That's exciting. I have a little another

393
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: interview and another one, so I'm just hoping that I

394
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: can get some more teaching and make some American mula

395
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: because it's just it is stressful, Like essentially, look at

396
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: me folding on my can you hear these all the

397
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: things I was road tested for you? It is stressful,

398
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: like when you convert you every time you stop, you're

399
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: kind of converting it to Australian dolls and it gets

400
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: a little bit confronting. So I'm really trying to, yeah,

401
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: make some American dolls, even if it's just for my

402
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: petrol and my groceries, you know. All right, Gangles, hooru,

403
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: hope you have a wonderful day, and this is your

404
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: Friday Diary. Hopefully I have a book review ready to

405
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: go for you for next week's EPPS. I put some

406
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: on Instagram instead, but I found the coolest coffee cut

407
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: up three dollars at Ross. So Ross is like dressful Less,

408
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: so it's a cheaper clothing shop. Three dollar mug Yellowstone.

409
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: And then on the other side of the yellows and

410
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: my favorite show. And then on the other side of

411
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: the mug it has like the Yellowstone logo and it

412
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: says go ruin somebody Else's day, which I think is

413
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: a line that Rip says to Beth.

414
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure.

415
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: Anyway, there's a little bit of nerdy Yellowstone facts for you.

416
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 2: All right, Turtles, hooru make a love.

417

00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,840

419
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: scares you.

420
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: Tootles
