    Fashion Island, Newport Beach dining

    Who serves Tater Tots?

    LeRoy's, the little coffee shop in Arcadia (or is that Monrovia?) on Huntington Drive serves tater tots. They’re fun. Incidentally, so does the cafeteria at the Hall of Infestation downtown, but why would you eat there unless...

    Dollar Deal of the Decade [moved from General Topics]

    Wendy’s Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe. I always ask for a fresh one off the griddle and say I am willing to wait. I had a Wedny’s burger last week that was so hot and juicy that there were little pools of juice/grease...
