If you live in So Cal, then you know about the infamous Alberto’s, Alerto’s, Roberto’s, Albert’s, etc…

I was in San Diego one day, enjoying my beloved Carne Asada Burrito with ONLY cheese, rice, and sour cream, and I thought to myself, why are there so many variations in the restaurant names?

I mean, they all look the same. They all serve pretty much the same thing. So why the different names?

Well, I came across this blog and it had this story about it. It’s been so long since I visited that blog, so I don’t remember the site.

Anyways, it went on about how Alberto’s was the original chain. It was owned by a family and several brothers.
And just as Biggie said,
“Seven: this rule is so underrated
Keep your family and business completely separated
Money and blood don’t mix like two d**** and no b*****
Find yourself in serious shit”

So pretty much the brothers had a falling out, and everyone parted ways and divvied up the restaurants.

I’m not sure if that’s the real story… But that’s what I heard. If you have different story, hit me up.

Oh BTW… The burrito that I had coming home about 12am from my homie Moodz01’s home. MmMMMMmmm..Sooooooo…Gooooood!

I’ve had Kobe Burgers in a few places before, but this place is #1 on my list. It was very juicy, and cooked perfectly per my request.

Thanks Grish P. @ Yelp for the photo

This was the fried chicken dish that I had. Freakin awesome! The chicken was battered lightly, and the chicken was very flavorful and moist! This dish is a must if you eat there!

Thanks Janice for the food photos. I was too hungry to take any pictures. =)

Having a crown on the rocks at the Boulevard in San Francisco.
I’ll have details about the food here later.

I just tried the tropical passion latte at Coffee Bean for the first time. I must say, it exceeded my expectations.

My mother and I checked out this restaurant called Gerry’s. It was recommended to me by my cousin Martin.

Hands down, one of the best Filipino food places. Their menu is filled with the traditional filipino dishes such as Kare Kare, Adobo, and Crispy Pata. The dish that amazed me was their take on Ceviche with tuna, onions, and slices of roasted pork on top. MMMmMmMmm.

On Sunday, Margaret and I went to this restaurant in Hillcrest called Chow. This was our second visit to the restaurant, but it wasn’t as good as the first. I tried to be adventurous and order something different, but it turned out to be ok. I should of stuck to the Tom Yum soup that I had last time.

Although, the spring rolls that we ordered above were awesome. They prepared a traditional Vietnamese spring roll with pieces of crab meat sprinkled on top. A+

FOOD FOOD FOOD! I love food! Especially good fast food. I’m sick and tired of the same Mc D’s, Jack In the Box, Burger King, Etc. The one thing I love about NY is the variety of fast food.

I mean a $1.50 for 2 hot dogs and a drink. Insane & So Good!

This right here is the Mexican food of NY. Falafels are the sh*t! I mean, who knew? I bought this one right off a roach coach. This was awesome too!

We initially went to this area to try out Grimaldi’s. But as I suspected, once a restaurant airs on the travel channel, everyone and their mama was in line for this place. Being that we were pretty hungry, we tried this spot out.

And I’m telling you, one of the best Italian food I’ve ever had.

Margaret and I started out with this grilled Eggplant stuffed with cheese. I usually hate eggplant, but this thing was off the hook. The chicken parmigiana below was awesome as well. I think they have one of the best marinara sauces.
