Other good food or drink recommendations welcome - we love most all food, beer, and whiskey.
if you're referring to this coming Mon night (26 Sep), I'll be in El Segundo ... not well acquainted with Korean bbq options, but always up for "adventure dining" (and, of course, libations )

Libations... when are you headed this way again?

driving from Ridgewood NJ to the IAD area Sun 22 Oct; my Sat night hosts have Giants season tickets, so I will probably be departing their house around 11am

Yep, though I'm hoping that you meant 25 Sep, because otherwise I've completely screwed up this segment/mattress run =p

We get in late Sunday, but plana to hit a few breweries in Torrance on Monday afternoon, followed by an oyster happy hour in Manhattan Beach before we catch a nice Pacific sunset. Further plans that evening are all up in the air, but will definitely revolve around food and drink. If any part that sounds fun to you, we'd be happy to have some company at any point!

fat thumb yes this coming Mon 25th

I was at HopSaint (5160 W 190th, Torrance) and the King Harbor Brewing Co tasting room (on the International Boardwalk at the namesake location in Redondo Beach) a couple weeks ago; while I can highly recommend the brews at both, there is no food at the latter

more than happy to meet up somewhere in Manhattan Beach or Hermosa Beach (or El Segundo, where parking is **much** easier) around 7 ... will PM some ideas

On a related note...
I see the intersection of Main and Franklin in El Segundo has El Segundo Brewing Company on one corner and tap houses (Rock & Brews and Brewport Tap House) on 2 other corners. Any experience with these places? It seems like going to that area might be an easier and cheaper option for our overnight layover than making it out to Manhattan Beach. I see a brewstillery (Rob Rubens) nearby as well, but it's closed on Mondays.

Which means you'd arrive around 2?

I wouldn't worry about it. IMO, part of terrorism is getting people to worry and not do things like travel.
mattp1987 and synergistic like this.

I posted about Brewport a few weeks ago ... ESBC has good brews but no food; Rock & Brews is really a sports pub with an outdoor patio, and I haven't actually sampled their beers

And I still find the concept interesting.

Ah, I actually responded to that post. Looks like BrewPort would be right up our alley. Thanks!

To MR or not to MR that is the question. I do not need, MQMs, MQDs etc. However, I have calculated that by Dec 31st 2017 I will be at 999,680 Million Miler miles. This would million Miler in time for the new year. Decisions, decisions
