If you had to put together a picnic of your favorite small bites from local establishments, what would you include?
This is something I do often. Today happens to be a very tough mental health day, which means it’s a good day for it. Gonna go eat it at the park & photosynthesize. Might seem like a lot of of running around but, today, driving in the sunshine is a big plus and I’m begging you pedants to ignore logistics for the sake of a fun prompt.
Here is today’s list (west side version bc gas is unfortunately ten million dollars a tank):
- Lumpia, both veggie & beef, from Parilya
- Momo from Himalayan
- Pepperoni rolls from Georgio’s (specifically Denison location) (Don’t judge me this was my first job and a very sentimental pick)
- Dolmades, Hummus & veg from Assad’s Bakery
- Spam musubi from Dang Good Foods ❤️
- Crab rangoons from Brown Sugar Thai (as a connoisseur, best in town imo)
- Cheesecake slice from Slices - Today’s is Lemon bc availability, Orange Creamsicle would be best
And of course, a crispy fresh Diet Coke to round it all out.
For the record, this is by no means a complete list of my favorites, just today’s selection. What are your picks? Bonus points for tiny hole in the wall ethnic restaurants bc we all know that’s where to find the good shit!
