Mad Munch in OB... good?

Mad Munch in OB... good?

I feel incredibly stupid that I've walked down Newport a gazillion times over the years and never noticed this spot until today. I was killing time waiting for my oil change.

Looked at it on yelp and has great reviews...I don't think I've seen it come up on reddit, or if it has, not often.

Yelp gives it 4.8 stars, but i figured I'd ask here... good? Fav thing to get?

What does ig remove when blocking?

A friend told me she blocked this guy who was pursuing her.

I looked at her page and seen that his likes and comments disappeared from her main page posts after they both followed each other.

However, his comments stuck to her older reels that are "only visible on the reel tab"...is that a glitch?

Acquerello Rice (for making risotto)

Has anyone seen this at any of the Italian markets here? Hard to search online as they don't have an online inventory presence.

I have arborio at home, but wanted to try acquerello if I can find it.

Whole Foods carries carnaroli rice (acquerello is aged carnaroli) but not acquerello.

I don't have a vendor account with Specialty Produce to check online at the moment.

It's also 6 am so can't call anywhere just yet, but thought I'd try my luck with other ppl who are awake and like cooking. Ty!

Craving fresh made churros that are easy to find on a Monday

​

I've done the ones on Logan avenue. Great but the dipping sauces are Hershey and smuckers, jar/ bottle stuff that's too sweet.

I've had them at Lola 55. Delicious and that might be the one i end up going to.

The ones at tianguis were awful and gluten free. But the cajeta was 🔥.

I know I can make them, but I don't feel like messing with fry oil and cleaning piping tips.

There's a truck that comes around north park, but it's not by the cvs today.

Anywhere else within 5 miles of Hillcrest I'm missing?

Looking for homemade, not frozen. Ty!

Relic Bakery breakfast sandwich

Housemade sourdough muffin, housemade sausage, runny egg, arugula, American cheese, and caramelized onions.

It was $15, but it was very filling/ couldn't finish it. I love the fact that they use local purveyors and make the muffins in house.

Frozen/ Take and Bake food from local spots?

Sometimes I'll eat at restaurants and grab something to keep in my freezer for a lazy or rainy day craving. What other places have frozen options that you can cook or bake at home?

Here's the ones I'm aware of:

  1. Meet Dumpling

  2. Pop Pie

  3. Square Pizza East Village (idk if pb does this)

Which restaurants have good cake (slices or hunks) as dessert options? (Hillcrest/UH/NP/NH, and surrounding)

I've been thru whole foods, vons, ralphs, trader Joe's, Costco, Barons, etc (basically all store cakes.)

Not in an extraordinary desserts mood.

I don't usually order desserts from restaurants, so I'm pretty dumb about who has good cake as a dessert option.

Flavor: any, but preferably dark chocolate. Just want to pop in and buy a slice to go.

Ty!

Home Depot Grand Opening

New location next to the Scottish Rite building.

As of 4pm, giving away popcorn, churros, shopping bags, and home depot hats.

Space is really nice, fully stocked. I found parking up front, but there is that whole big lot

Did anyone find the hidden crochet toys?

Before comicon started, there was a poster who said they would be hiding their handmade crochet toys around the convention.

Just curious if anyone found any of them!

Did anyone go to the Pan's Labyrinth 20th Anniversary party at Parq?

Chocolate bar line

For tomorrow:

If I get to the convention center after the doors open, is there a long line for the chocolates by Ballroom 20? Does it move fast? Do I have to wait in a line to get to that line if the doors are already open?

Adult Swim Activation preview

Got to check this out tonight. The Rambler (Rick and Morty Ride) was really fun. There was a mini golf game, a slingshot/hit the moving target game, a pick an item out of the water with sticks game, and a few others. Food wasn't served yet. I can see the line for the ride being a really long wait as it took time for people to get on and off.

#SaveStargate Campaign Attends San Diego Comic Con with Flyover and Other Events

Just got this in press email, passing along if anyone looking for more offsite things!

Calling on Amazon MGM Studios to Keep Series In TV Universe Canon

Hi friends -

You may have heard the news: Amazon MGM Studios' planned new Stargate series was abruptly cancelled in June after weeks of pre-production prep. #SaveStargate, a fan-organised and funded movement, has worked tirelessly for the last two months to prove that an active, dedicated audience exists for this content.

#SaveStargate plans to attend San Diego Comic Con in force this weekend to raise awareness about the campaign with like-minded sci-fi fans. The campaign also intends to reach out to Amazon MGM Studios, hoping to work with them to bring a new Stargate series to life. We have three main events planned over the weekend. A Save Stargate banner flyover of the convention center, a party at Bay City Brewery on Friday, and an unveiling of a new 5e D&D Stargate module on Saturday. We invite co-goers to join us and play this brand new game written specifically for the #SaveStargate campaign. There will also be a cosplay contest and a fan meet-up.

Badge pickup today 1-5pm

Hello,

Going to try to pick up my badge after work. I don't mind the walk, but just wanted to ask if (historically) the parking lot by the Shell/ next to Joe's by the park is pretty empty after 3pm? Since it's not Wednesday, think I'll have luck back there?

Selling Sunset episode showing on TV on another Netflix show (The Hawk)

Sorry, this made me chuckle a bit. Not a spoiler of either show, but if you've watched The Hawk, did you catch this? 🤣
