Vote for Don Garza for Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Director.

Where in LA Should Barack Obama Eat?

Ed, Pamela and I were hanging out at Banquette last night and were talking about Hilary eating Mexican food with Antonio at King Taco the other day.

If Barack comes to town, where would be a good place for Eric Garcetti to take him to eat that will impress Angelenos?

Ed said any old street hot dog vendor in downtown. That might work, but some of his people might advise him to not ea anything phallic with so many cameras around or something that can drip on him and get his cloths dirty.

I am torn between:

a) Tamales Liliana's (My favorite place to eat Mexican food east of the River. They have two locations, one on Cesar Chavez Blvd. -I used to eat regularly at their other location on Cesar Chavez Blvd when I used to work by there. And the other location is on 1st St.),

b) Pink's Hot Dog on Fairfax Ave (I think that place is waaaaaay over rated, but I am curious to see what would happen if he had to stand in that long ass line.)

c) The Sunday farmers' market in Hollywood or some other farmer's market. (Because farmers' markets are just plain fun... and the one in Hollywood is one of my favorites).

d) Something else.

What do think?



[Edited note: Even though he probably shouldn't eat a hot dog, Pinks came to mind because of the extremely long line. That being said, I probably should have mentioned The Pantry instead of Pinks.]
