What Is Your Favorite Restaurant?

Have you ever seen Pulp Fiction? He explains why the Quarter Pounder is called the Royal with Cheese.

In Paris, the Quarter Pounder with Cheese is called a ``Royal with Cheese'' due to differences in measurement systems and cultural references. The term was popularized by the film Pulp Fiction, where the character Vincent Vega, played by John Travolta, explains to his partner the name change.
"Check out the big brain on Brad!"
 
Hardee's fast food on the east coast is call Carl's Jr. on the west coast.

Hellmann's mayonnaise on the east coast is called Best Foods on the west coast.

Hellmann and Best Food are the brands of mayo. What I'm talking about is how a burger from McDonald in America is called something different in another country. McDonald is the company in both countries.

Your example is a little different. Same product but different company.
 
I’ve eaten at The Luau , and a Brown Derby and Alice’s Westwood and Malibu and El Coyote and the Formosa Cafe and the original Pantry and El Tepiac and dozens of other Famous So Cal Favorites , including Tito’s Tacos in Culver City ( But I liked the Burrito Machaca at Lucy’s next door ) and the 1920s Tamoshanter in Atwater and Hop Sing’s near Venice


Tito's Tacos was a frequent stop for me and my buddy on the way to concerts at The Forum. Good food, good times...

Funny, when I was in Liverpool 2006, I had the Quarter Pounder With Cheese. I was amazed that it was indistinguishable from its American counterpart.

Ingelwood? What professional sports are played at the Forum?


The Lakers and The Kings both played at The Forum, I went to many a game there. Down on the floor for The Lakers, Showtime Lakers... Magic, Worthy, Kareem, Rambis, Green, Scott...

Saw Gretzky when he was with The Kings. And the concerts...

I went to a Lakers Game years ago. I was trying to find the local restaurant that is famous in the area for hot beef and turkey open face sandwiches and it's all former felons who work there. What's the name of that place?
 
I was at A Magic Johnson Rookie Season Early game at the Forum ( And was at the earliest events when it opened like The Circus , and Ice Capades ) oh and many concerts like ( Foghat / Eddie Money on his two tickets to paradise tour )
 
Went to the one on Pico Blvd ( WLA ) at the longtime location of Poppa Pete’s
Now you can get already cooked chicken at any grocery store. Grocery stores are killing it.

Chicken companies used to make a lot selling to restaurants. That kept prices down at the supermarket. We don't go to restaurants anymore. So they jacked up the price on grocery store chicken.

You got me... I can only think of Phillipe, their claim to fame is French dips... and their out near Dodger Stadium.

I stayed across the street from the Forum. The year was the year Gary Payton and Karl Malone played with the Lakers because Gary Payton walked into the bar after the game. Now I can remember what year it was. 2003-2004. The same year the Piston's won. It wasn't a game against the Pistons. I was there at a trade show at the Forum called Westec. I worked for the company that put the trade show on. Very interesting. Isn't there two Forum's? This trade show I believed was down the street from where the NBA plays. It's been awhile.

The place where felons ran the joint was famous. There for years. I did a search and I think it's gone. No longer there. Hard to believe it was over 20 years ago.
 
Maybe it's not cool in Hungary to be associated with a King.

The monarchy of Hungary was formally abolished on 1 February 1946
None-the-less, the EU and NATO are today bent on rendering the population hungry.
Have you ever seen Pulp Fiction?
I have.

I am trying to understand why it's called Quarter Pounder elsewhere. Anyway, it's a film. You know, Hollywood?
 
Here's the view from the deck of the Lone Eagle. Just took it

I just went to


Chima Steakhouse, named after chimarrao, a traditional drink of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, that symbolizes hospitality and friendship-certainly lives up to its name.
Legend has it that, in South Brazil traditional gauchos (cowboys) would consume a diet that consisted almost entirely of beef. The meat was seasoned, placed on skewers, and slow cooked over a wood burning flame. Historically, gauchos were known for their generosity and hospitality.
The first Chima restaurant originated in Uberlandia, Brazil located in the state of Minas Gerais. In 2003, the Silva family introduced a new style of dining and superior service to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Chima combined traditional Brazilian rodizio and excellent service with an elegant setting.

I didn't expect what was coming. They have this salad bar with a wide variety of things. When I go back, I will only take a little bit of what's on the buffet.

Go sit down. In 1 minute a guy is going to come up to you with a skewer of shrimp and ask if you want some, then he leaves. In 30 seconds a guy comes and asks you if you want this amazing chicken. Then a guy comes with sirloin, angus, lamb chops, leg of lamb, salmon, filet magnon, sausage, filet wrapped in bacon,

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH CINNAMON, flank steak, beef rib, and a few more I didn't mention.​


Eventually I would tell the guy to shave me off a piece, then my uncle and I split that one piece.

If you love meat, this is a must do. And only $60. 2 of us, with the valet, tip and all, $200 even. Not bad. Not bad at all. I don't do it up very often and a lot of times I'm not satisfied when I go to a high end place. They don't give you enough food. You can't say that about Chima Steakhouse.
Haven't you ever been to a Brazilian restaurant before? That's what they do, meats come by and get sliced off.
