I'll definitely have to ask you for more food recs when we come down next time.

Aged in wooden barrels until fully mature.<br /><br />There are many good reviews out there for the 15yo. Could be it is reduced age as well as batch variation.<br /><br />Greetings<br />kallaskanderkallaskandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-52385870995136543252012-06-13T14:23:53.885-07:002012-06-13T14:23:53.885-07:00If you're looking for dumplings, you need to g...If you're looking for dumplings, you need to go east to the San Gabriel Valley, which is just about 20 minutes east of Glendale. For dim sum, hit Sea Harbor or <a href="http://recenteats.blogspot.com/2008/10/dim-sum-elitism.html" rel="nofollow">Elite</a> or for a more traditional palace-with-carts type experience, though not quite as up to par food wise, <a href="http://recenteats.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-nbc-proud-as-peacock.html" rel="nofollow">NBC</a>. For XLB (Shanghainese soup dumplings), you want <a href="http://recenteats.blogspot.com/2009/09/xlbshen-jian-bao-alert-tasty-bao-at.html" rel="nofollow">Dean Sin World</a> which is a tiny little place, but oh so good.<br /><br />If you're in Downey, you're just a short hop from one of our best Mexican places, La Huasteca in Lynwood (I've been meaning to write it up but haven't gotten to it yet). <br /><br />All of the good Korean is in Koreatown, southwest of Glendale. My K-Town reviews are <a href="http://recenteats.blogspot.com/search/label/Korean" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The best Korean BBQ is probably Park's but Dong Il Jang is more kid friendly. See a comparison <a href="http://recenteats.blogspot.com/2008/09/smoke-and-gas-korean-faceoff.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Have fun!skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-195986076816194312012-06-13T12:32:55.737-07:002012-06-13T12:32:55.737-07:00We'll be staying at an Embassy Suites--either ...We'll be staying at an Embassy Suites--either Downey or Glendale. We will have our minivan so easy parking would be great as well as kid friendly places. However, we're willing to drive to destination spots.<br /><br />Thanks.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09645197662375448990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-80580671994880006892012-06-13T10:48:35.486-07:002012-06-13T10:48:35.486-07:00James, it was the same bottle which we split three...James, it was the same bottle which we split three ways.<br /><br />As far as food recs, well, there area lot on the blog.

Looks like you and Tim pretty much hated it, while Jason gave it good marks. <br /><br />Also, I'm heading to LA (from SF) for a last minute trip tomorrow and would appreciate some food recs. Korean, Mexican, Chinese (especially good dumplings), and anything else that might be a must try.
