I tried to look for the modern soul food joint Larkin’s one hungry night without the exact address on me (only knew that it’s somewhere on Colorado Blvd.) I didn’t find it, but I did spot and drove past a lovely craftsman house. Turned out that house was the restaurant. I absolutely loved the restored […]

Very good Banh Tom (Crispy fried Yam with shrimp). Fresh […]
