Kachi Deli Cafe

I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Kachi Deli Cafe. The food was good, the service was quick and it was reasonalbly priced for downtown LA. It is worth the walk accross the bridge.  If you are not up for the walk, they delivery for free if you spend over $15.

Pizza Dough Survey

I am a huge fan of homemade pizza. I use store bought dough with fresh ingredients. Recently, I have tried several different brands of dough. Here is what I have found.
Pillsbury Dough (+) Keeps for a long time. (-) It has that canned Pillsbury taste.


Safeway Select Brand (Vons/Pavilions) (+) This dough tastes good (-) It is hard to shape with a rolling pin and cooks up thick.  If you like Chicago style pizza, you will like this one.


Trader Joe's (+) This dough tastes great and it is easily manipulated with a rolling pin. (-) It goes bad quickly. If you like New York style pizza, you will like this one.



** Pizza tip**  Before you add anything to the pizza dough, brush the dough with a light layer of EVOO and truffle salt.  It makes the pizza crust extra yummy.
