L.A. Street Food Fest – Winner is…Monsieur Egg

Thoughts on LA Street Food Fest, pretty awesome, pretty crowded too! Vushotcha and me should have planned the day better. We should have hit Ludo Lefebvres truck first. His line was like the old days of the DMV. Fuck That! NO fried chicken is that good (I’m just bitter). Here are the following places we tried.

Phamish – Their Bahn mi was ok. i still prefer the brick and mortar locations all over the SGV and OC.
Flying pig – ate some pork belly, Peking style and a slider. Not bad but was expecting more.
Mama Koh’s – some good KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) wings. I would like Kyochon and Mama Koh’s wings to have a battle.

But the one i want to talk about is Monsieur Egg – my Favorite!
I had their scrambled eggs and thick cut bacon with home made croissant. scrambled eggs were perfect! soft, fluffy and they were still able to retain and keep the custard texture of the eggs.

We were getting pretty full and needed to take a quick rest, walked around and all the lines were waay too long!
I headed back to Monsieur Egg, I was so impressed with his food i ordered another item on his menu – Croque Madam with Fried egg.

On The Nickel


“On The Nickel” contains probably the most devastating and beautiful lyrics I have ever heard. “The Nickel” refers to a section of Fifth Street in Downtown Los Angeles that was gathering place for the homeless and down-&-out folks during the depression era. The song is the title score for the 1980 film by Ralph Waite. The music rings like a childrens’ lullaby, with the words harking to the days when these now hapless “Nickel” characters were just little boys running amok and making mischief. This is one of those songs that is both heartbreaking and beautiful, and I have have a hard time picturing it having the full effect if covered by somebody other than Waits. Cant help but love his music. A glass of whiskey, candles and a lit cigarette. ( Smoking is bad for you kids ). Enjoy!

sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i’ll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they’re lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.

so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don’t get my letter,
then you’ll know that i’m in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they’re sleepin’ like a baby,
on the nickel over there.

and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you’ll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.

so ring around the rosie, you’re sleepin’ in the rain,
and you’re always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.

so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin’ bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here’s to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you’ll be sleepin’ with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.

so let’s climb up through that button hole,
and we’ll fall right up the stairs,
and i’ll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
