LA trip no. 132


As you may have surmised from the title I travel to LA quite a bit for fun but also a lot of business. I love it there, my wife love's it there and my son knows that it is the home of Disneyland. Well I was not yet prepared for the experience that awaited us on this particular excursion. First of all, my sis and her hubby live there and have given is a slew of new restaurants to eat at. The star of this profile is a mind blowing trip to the heart of the most amazing greek food I have ever eaten. Papa Cristos is the name of the place and I was not prepared for what was about to unfold.

I was blessed enough to experience what had to be the most succulent gyro, pillow soft pita, and creamy delectable tzatziki sauce that the western mind could comprehend. It was after the my plate was clean that I saw the autographed poster from My big fat Greek wedding that thanked them for all the catering. Everything is making sense until they brought out the baklava. This is just any baklava this is the kind of delicacy that causes you to consider a change in nationality. When was the last time you were excited about baklava? Well I would be willing the wager that this small slice of honey dripping heaven could incite passion on the most stoic of souls (in case you were wondering I do think I will be 400 lbs. by the time I am 60). I have had a lot of amazing food experiences and this has to be top 5 easy.

About the time we were all feeling as though we had become examples of gluttony my son started flirting with the waitress and scored us another baklava this time it was filled with custard! The mind cannot comprehend and I cannot possibly go on any longer else I will get it my car and make the drive right now.
