Encino, Los Angeles by Chelsea Robinson
The Stand
Chelsea Robinson: Note: Burgers do not come with fries, so be sure to order a side--shareable sizes. Tried the Gold Coast with Turkey & the Big Bleu. Big Bleau was so good--crunchy bacon added great texture. Gold Coast has some heat from the jalepenos in the pepper slaw, but not too hot to be able to eat, and the texture was also nice!
Sushi Stop
Chelsea Robinson: Well, you certainly can't be the price. Love that I can actually get sushi to go too. Portions are small since most rolls are 2.75 each, so keep that in mind. Tried the Baked Salmon, Philly roll, and Avocado/Eel Roll and picked up a green salad. It all hit the spot just fine--not blow me away amazing, but certainly good enough to go back often when I want sushi in a pinch.
Pastries By Eddie
Chelsea Robinson: Tucked in the CVS shopping strip. When I first showed up, it took awhile for anyone to help me--to the point I was starting to get a tad annoyed. But once the girl came over, she was very pleasant. Took home a large cannoli and a mixture of cookies and they were all VERY good. The cannoli was AWESOME--but perhaps on the pricey side. Favorite cookie was the sugar free walnut thing. Whatever it was, it tasted like a play on baklava. Yum!
