Re: Los Angeles, CA

You’re right by Thai Town there. The heat was around Luv2Eat (godawful name, great food) pre-pandemic, and I had some awesome stuff there.

Re: I hate YouTube: A5 Wagyu source locally

Re: Anything good at Westgate?

Salt was one of the worst restaurants in the city when I was scouting it for a potential review, but that was a very long time ago. (Years.) I would definitely defer to more recent intel. I haven’t been to the Westgate location, but Los Arbolitos de Cajeme is a very respectable midsize (maybe 15 loc...

Re: Bar Cena

This is a pernicious bug that I am trying to fix. Many cameras/phones tag photos with the correct orientation rather than actually rotating the image. phpBB is reading the image, but NOT the tag, so it’s posting the images in the orientation they were actually shot. I thought I had it nipped and pr...

Re: Bar Cena

Are the photos correctly oriented before you upload them and somehow getting rotated in the process? This is a pernicious bug that I am trying to fix.
