Saturday, ever-loving Saturday
Most of our weekends are routine: sleep-in, eat nachos, grab a chai, check some stores for good sales, and watching the sunset from different vistas. Last Saturday we realized we were bored with it and decided a day trip/food fest to LA was in order.Of course Kogibbq was our first stop. Even though I don't live in the LA area, I follow them on twitter, waiting for the day to track them down for good food.
Saturday afternoon they were parked off Sunset, across from Amoeba Music, and there was no line!
The menu is definitely budget friendly :)

We got a Korean short rib taco and a Korean spicy pork taco. It was delicious.
Next stop was Melrose. I got this fun ring at Tarina Tarantino. So sparkly!
Then headed to the Alexander McQueen boutique to look around.
Fans had written notes on one of their front windows and it was busy inside.
Third Street Promenade was our dinner stop.
Hubs saw a feature on Barney's Beanery on either Food Network or the Travel channel, so we decided to dine there.
I ordered an amazing California Salad with finely chopped lettuce, turkey, tomatoes, bacon, cheese. Topped with brie and avocado, and with a side of ranch. I was in heaven.
Hubs enjoyed a bowl of chili.
And dangerously delicious cheese fries.I really liked the festive ambiance of the place, 90s photos/decor, and countless tvs.
No food fest is complete without dessert. We are cupcake fanatics and Yummy Cupcakes was our choice stop.
They got an A!
The menu is so great! This cherry pie cupcake screamed homemade.
We ended the day watching the sunset from Ocean Front Walk. It felt extremely good and refreshing to have a change of scenery, enjoy yummy (fatty) foods, and embrace the weekend. I am definitely energized to tackle this week and cannot wait until the weekend!Hope you are having a good one :)

Cherry pie cupcakes? Kogi truck? That is my food adventure girl! Glad you had fun!
I still haven't tried the Kogi trunk yet, but adore the Grilled Cheese Truck. You have to try! 3rd Street is my home away from home. I've been meaning to try Yummy but I always get drawn in by Vanilla Bake Shop which is a couple of blocks down.
Sounds like it was an amazing weekend! Yummy food & ending days with amazing sunsets is the perfect end of the day!
sooooooooooooooo hungry after reading this!
