Burnt Links

BURNT LINKS (postings from around the local web)

[Blackbook.com]
I might add Benito's Chorizo Burrito, Pharroah's Breakfast Burrito, and King Taco/El Taurino's Carnitas Burritto

[LA Times]
Non-shoutouts to Eagle Rock's Casa Bianca (ehh) and Echo Park's Two Boots (me gusta).

[Gridskipper]
I'd skip the Auntie Em's for lunch...definitely need to go back and try breaky though. 

[Eat Drink & Be Merry]
Mmm...taco trucks.  Would be fun to do this...even without my fav comedian Aziz Ansari.  Gotta check out his standup CD when it comes out soon...he's friggin' hilarious.  Can't wait to try out some of the recommended trucks.

Taco Tourney Time [LATaco.com]

Head over to LATaco.com to vote for your favorite LA Taco...March Madness style.  I'm putting my money on El Taurino.  Coming soon:  Burnt Mac's review of  my current favorite sit-down Mexican restaurant, Montrose's La Cabanita.

The Burnt Mac Reborn with Kogi Korean Tacos







Bernie finally had the Kogi Korean BBQ taco truck last night at its stop outside the Golden Gopher in Downtown LA.  Not worth a 2hr wait as some have claimed but 30 min last night I could handle.  In fact, they were so busy they brought in their second truck.  When the Verde truck approached its sister Roja truck, the homeless dude playing the keyboard for the line remarked, "You guys must smoke more weed than I do!  Gots the munchies REAL bad!"  They will be throughout LA every day so follow them on Twitter or check their location on their website.  For the less mobile and more alcoholic, you can get some Kogi at The Alibi Room in Culver City.  For the Burnt Mac locals...Kogi sometimes hits up Silverlake and Eagle Rock.

MUST HAVES:
-Spicy Pork Taco
-Short Rib Taco
DISAPPOINTMENTS:
-Short Rib Burrito (see innards in last pic)
-No Horchata or Orange Bang (not that I would expect them to...just saying)
