Carousel Restaurant@Glendale ★★

Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean Food. I have been waiting to try this restaurant 10 years ago because of their raw beef. The raw beef tastes too much like cheese. I think Korean raw beef tastes better. The Cheese Turnover is good. Their best eggplant dish is Mousakka. I think it's so-so. All these 3 dishes are appetizers.

Gumbo Pot@LA Farmers Market ★★

New Orleans Food. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but somehow the portions are smaller this time... Even the Oysters are smaller. Green Salad with Roasted Sweet Pecan is good. Gumbo is good. I like their Fried Oyster Po' Boy too. Poor service.
