dropdeded 0 #1 May 7, 2004 Had a run to UCLA and called a friend after. My partner, his wife, and I met at I think it was called TYPHOON? at an airport just off the 405 then the 10 freeway (yes I got lost). Excellent food, highly recommended. dropdeded------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #2 May 7, 2004 Typhoon? Yeah, I've heard plenty of things about it and turned down many an invite. It's at Santa Monica Airport. Typhoon's specialty? Insects. Considering I am profoundly phobic of insects, I won't go there. You can get deep fried scorpion, stir fried crickets, baked bamboo termites and giant mountain ants. So, tell me, Ed. Did you get to experience what Typhoon is all about? My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoShitThereIWas 0 #3 May 7, 2004 Deep fried scorpion??? Whoa ! I miss the LA restaurants. Never been to Typhoon, I moved from LA 8 years ago but my favorite places to eat were Chaya Venice in Venice, CA and of course Jerry's Famous Deli in Studio City edited to add: Hey Dropdeded: You should try and make it up to the American Boogie!Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires."

Probably cost a pretty penny too, would rather go to another place. Or eat some cheap good food and save the $$ for jump tickets and equipment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
