Visit California: The Kettle

We were famished when we landed in Los Angeles, so after checking into our hotel, we went to The Kettle.  

Fried Pickle Chips
If I see Fried Pickles on the menu, there's a good chance I'm getting them.  These Fried Pickle Chips were super tasty!  The coating didn't adhere very much to the pickles when eating, but they still tasted great.

Grilled Four Cheese Dip

I love a good grilled cheese and I love French onion soup, so the Grilled Four Cheese Dip, which is served with French onion soup jus, seemed like a no-brainer to me.  The Grilled Cheese consisted of cheddar, mozzarella, & Swiss, as well as onion jam on Parmesan-crusted corn rye bread.  It was yummy, but I think it wouild've been better without the onion jams, which was a bit overpowering, and the soup already offered a nice onion flavor.  

The seasoned fries accompanying the sandwich were delish!

I was a little wary when we first entered because there was some trash and food debris on the restaurant floor, and it was not a good first impression, but the food and service both turned out to be great.

Visit California: Manhattan Beach Creamery

I'm always Google searching for "ice cream near me" whenever I travel, and while in SoCal, Manhattan Beach Creamery was just 400+ feet away!  

It's such a cute shop with all kinds of confections.  I was very tempted to try an ice cream cookie sandwich, but I ended up getting the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream, which the employee said was one of the more popular flavors.  

Strawberry Cheesecake

It was so creamy with chunks of cheesecake and swirls of strawberry.  Loved it!

Cookie Monster

Super Sonic

Cotton Candy

A popular chain ice cream shop that I love is literally across the street from Manhattan Beach Creamery, but we always try to support local, and this ice cream shop did not disappoint.
