So, here's a collection of takeout revisits on places I've posted on a bajillion times.
De Cabeza/El Único:
I was off on a Wednesday and wanted something rich, beefy, and hefty for lunch, so De Cabeza was a natural pick. We hadn't been in a while and Cabeza en su Jugo is so nice during colder weather.
I forgot that Wednesday is Jesus's day off. He really knows how to put things together the way we like.
Still, this was quite savory, warming, and rich…..beefy goodness, with a good amount of spice as well.
Even though we get two orders; we usually have leftovers…..
I need to remember to ask them to put the onions and cilantro on the side……

Zgara Greek Grill:
I think it's rather surprising that I don't get stuff from Zgara every week, since it's not too far from home. Still, I do visit quite often and always get the same thing, the pork gyro.
The place seems to be doing some great business. Good for Eric and his Family! He opened during the middle of all the Covid restrictions and has done well!
Seasoned porky goodness, with nice crisp bits, pungent onions, refreshing milky goodness of the tzadziki……..enrobed in a pillowy pita.

Sue's Korean Kitchen:
Speaking of businesses that opened during the times of Covid. Think we were still in "red-tier" when Sue's opened in April of 2021.
The main dish I get here is the Kimchi Fried Rice with Spam (of course). It's still makes my preferred "under $14 for lunch" mark priced at $11.99. Though back in March it was $10.99.
Still, Sue's opens early at 10am, so I can get there before any lunch rush. For some reason, the woman there always remembers me?
I will say, that on my last visit, the portion size seemed to have shrunk a bit.
Still, this is enough food for me…… I like the fermented spice of the house made kimchi and of course the Spam. You know, the salty-savory-fermented kinda thing.

Speaking of fermenting….here's a photo of a take out meal that has been relegated to one of my folders for so long that it would be the photo equivalent of Suan Cai. So, while I'll delete all the detail photos, here's one of the entire meal. Can you figure out where it's from?
And on that note, I'd like to know, what's in your current "rotation"?
