STREET food for street prices
I was stoked on the idea of Susan Feniger's Street until I realized I couldn't afford to eat there. Apparently, I wasn't the only one because Susan announced that she's going to drop all Street prices to the price of the food on the street.
$5 pho? Fuh sho.

The Upside of Recession
A bunch of the city's top restaurants are having recession specials! Here are a few newbs:
Monday: Boneyard Bistro in Sherman Oaks pairs half-priced beer with an excellent fried-chicken dinner ($12 for a quarter chicken, $17 for a half, including very fine potato salad and cole slaw).
Tuesday: The Park in Echo Park serves a terrific fixed-price dinner for just $15. And it’s BYOB with no corkage, making it an even better bargain. Tonight’s menu is Greek: avgolemeno soup or Greek salad, followed by lamb or vegetarian moussaka, concluding with baklava.
Wednesday: Campanile’s Soup Kitchen, first created for WGA members during the strike, is back on Wednesday nights. You get three courses, including a soup entree, for just $22, with special $7 cocktails to take the sting off the midweek blues.
Thursday: Wine tastings at Silverlake Wine are a deal at $12 per flight — and the Let’s Be Frank cart is outside that night, so you can dine cheaply on superb grass-fed, hormone-free hot dogs.
Friday & Saturday: It’s harder to find bargains on the weekends, but consider the every-night deal offered by Burbank’s best-kept secret, Bistro Provence. For $29.50 you get a hearty, three-course, totally delicious French bistro dinner in a room that’s much more appealing than its strip-mall setting would suggest.
Sunday: Back in Echo Park, the new Allston Yacht Club serves three of its very good small dishes for just $16, and it always has some good-value wines by the glass.

I still couldn't afford to eat at most of these places, but I think there's something about being Jewish and hearing words like "special" "sale" or "bargain" that triggers in me an urge to spend money I don't have.

NEWS: 1/2 price from Dolce Group
According to Eating LA, Dolce Group's "celeb-centric restaurant owners are offering 50% off all food at Dolce on Monday nights, at Bella on Tuesday nights and at Ketchup on Sunday nights."
Am I a tool for finding this insanely enticing? Maybe. But I have never had a problem dismounting my high horse for cheap eats. Especially when they toss in some cheesey bready bits as hors d'oeuvres.
Yep, I think that 1/2 price food might just be sweet enough to counterbalance my distaste for Dolce's Ashton Kutcher. At least for the time it takes to finish my meal.
