MILK part II

After having a great meal at Loteria Grill we decided to get dessert at MILK. A quick seven minute trip down Beverly Blvd, we were hungry for some sweet action. After debating on what to get, Lieto picked the coffee toffee ice cream sandwich. She liked it a lot, but when I tried it I felt that the coffee flavor was too strong.

Here is Lieto showing us here MUNCHIE FACE!

I chose the caramel banana nut ice cream bar. This was packed with an extreme banana flavor and laced with a stream of caramel down the middle of the bar. I really liked this one and would like to try this as an ice cream sandwich.

Here are my friends doing the "Munchie Face"

We journeyed out to MILK for a late night "sweet tooth" craving. Boy did that totally hit the spot. The interior was all white with displayed desserts at the counter. My eyes got big when I walked in because the first thing that caught my eye were the frozen treats display.

The strawberry sorbet ice cream sandwich was amazing. The flavors were doing the happy dance on my tongue and I was doing the happy dance in my seat. This was really good because the sorbet was sandwiched between two macaroon cookies. That's right, just like the little things I get from Boule.

One of my friends got the special sandwich of the day, grilled ham n cheese with poached eggs in white sauce, that I cannot recall the name of. This, my friends, was the shit. The sauce was awesome and everything together was even better. All I got to say is that poached eggs are the "Shit"! I totally regret not ordering this myself because when she offered me a bit, I wanted it all!

The blue velvet cake caught our eye so we had to get it. Starring into to blue colored cake, I knew it contained wonderful flavors that were just waiting for me to taste. I really liked the blueberry taste of this cake, but I really enjoyed how soft and moist it was. My friend disagreed and said that she is gonna stick with red velvet from now on.

I order house made bon bons. I did not care for the toffee flavored bon bons, but I really did enjoy the mint n chip bon bons.

The cookies n cream ice cram bar was really good too. The ice cream on the inside was rich and creamy and the outside was full of crushed cookies.

I am so glad that this place is far away because I would be one fat ass biatch! I like this place so much, if I lived closer, I would come here everyday and wait for it to open. I would get a job here and get paid my bon bons.~ Bootsi

PIZZA MOZZA part II

I was pretty disappointed with my first review of Pizza Mozza because I didn't have pictures to show readers what I ate. I have been itching to go back ever since then. I finally had a chance to go there during spring break and to my delight we were seated at a table and not the bar. I took many pictures and I felt like a food paparazzi. I think I came close to crashing into the waiters when I was trying to get that one good shot! Thank goodness no one got hurt.

Like I said before this place was packed, but somehow we were seated right away (It just shows you how hot looking people get treated.....not me, the two ladies that I was with.) We ordered the brussel sprouts with prosciutto breadcrumbs. It was a little weird at first because of the bitter taste, but the more I ate it, the more I couldn't get enough of it. Never was a brussel spout fan, but this ended up pretty good. There wasn't much prosciutto, but you could taste it's salty flavor. The only sad part to this dish was that it came out a little cold.

I decided to get the egg, asparagus, onion & pramigiano pizza after hearing good things about it from other bloggers. This is supposed to be the only pizza that's not cut at the counter because the egg yolk would run all over the place and ruin your crust, but to my surprise it was already cut! They did not cut through the yolk though, so I had to pop it myself. This was an amazing pizza. The toppings worked wonderfully together; soft sweet onions, perfectly cooked asparagus and a runny yolk equals "the Shit!"

This is the squash blossoms, burrata & tomato pizza. This was damn good too! The burrata made all the difference, it was soft, sweet and refreshing. It went really good with the crust, but then again this crust is amazing, so I guess anything would be good with it.

I take back that comment that I said earlier. Not everything goes good with the crust. An example would be this, the bufala mozzarella, speck & black olive tapenade. This was by far gotta be the worst thing on the menu. The tapenade was terrible. If the olive tapenade wasn't there this pizza might of been pretty good. The tapenade totally overpowered the rest of the toppings.
I ordered this to go for my brother and his wife, but guess where the fennel sausage, panna & red onion pizza go? That's right, it went home with me and eventually settled in my stomach like broccoli between teeth. This was just as good as last time, with big boulders of sausage and extra sweet red onions and creamy panna.

My dessert was the rum raisin gelato and chocolate chip gelato. The rum raisin was strong on rum but was decent. Thought my low tolerance of alcohol was gonna turn my face into the color of a baboon's ass, but thank goodness that it didn't. Unfortunately, I would pass on this the next time I come.

The butterscotch pudding is always a winner. It's a very relaxing dessert.

The the best overall dish of the night would be the lemon gelato pie. Man when I tell you this thing makes your mouth water, I really mean that! In fact this pie might even make your eyes water, it's that damn good! The lemon flavor totally explodes on your tongue. I don't think I will ever get another dessert from this place after eating this one.

So I think I have a crush on Nancy Silverton. There is just something about her that I find intriguing. It might be her desire for perfection, her work ethic, her curly hair. Even when I saw here leaving, they way she dressed was cute! Next time I'm gonna ask her to take a picture with me!

Sorry no pictures for this one! After reading about Pizza Mozza from other blogs and many magazines, I have been wanting to go to this place for many months now! This past Tuesday, I finally made my way out there. This place is owned by celebrity chef Mario Batali, you can see him on food channel, and Nancy Silverton, the lady behind La Brea Bakery and Campanile Restaurant. So, I heard this place was hard to get a reservation and the only time that you should go would be during the off hours of 10pm (it closes at 12 everyday). There was supposed to be five of us at first but as the day wore on. it just ended up being just two of us. Thank goodness because we arrived a little after ten and this place was still fuckin packed like a can of sardines! It was so damn packed that the valet wouldn't even take Blu Gal (my car). He told me to check how long the wait was first then go back and tell him if I was gonna stay or not.

As I walked in, there was about four groups waiting to be seated. The hostess told us that it would take about twenty minutes, but since there was only two of us, she seated us within three minutes. See everything works out for a reason and if the whole group would of came it probably would of took over an hour to grab a seat.

We were seated at the pizza bar and Nancy Silverton was right there in front of me. Before I even sat down sat down, Nancy looked me right in the eye, gave me smile and said hi!!! Can you believe that shit, I was star struck. There was no way I was gonna pull out my camera for this one, SORRY! This place was dark, with red walls and high black ceilings. The joint was small and the place was really loud. I noticed that I had to lean towards my friend to conversate. We ordered the fried potatoes with sage. This was pretty good. The crisp sage was wonderful and went well with the potatoes and the aoili. For the pizzas we ordered the prosciutto & arugula pizza, hold the arugula, and the fennel sausage pizza. Both were damn amazing. The prosciutto was semi salty and just melted in my mouth and the fennel sausage pizza was really sweet from the red onions and salty from the sausage that I had to shake my head in amazement. The crust was out of this world, crunchy and chewy. I never had anything like this before! For dessert we ordered vanilla ice cream with espresso poured over the top. This was nothing to special at all. In fact, I really don't care for coffee and I really didn't care for this dessert. I also ordered the butterscotch pudding. This was delicious. It was like a mousse or was it like a pudding? All I remember was that there was mousse/pudding then a layer or butterscotch, then a shower of Fleur de Sel (salt) and topped off with a dollop of whip. It was really good, but the sprinkle of Fleur de Sel made this piece, the shit! ~ Bootsi
