LA Area: 09/27/09: Meal on Wheels #1

[Skootz Kabootz]

This is the first of what I hope will be many LA Scooter Group Meal on Wheels rides. The specific details of this ride are still being worked out but here is the idea:

On the afternoon of Sunday, September 27th, we will take a relaxed ride to 2 or 3 different dining locations: 1) for an appetizer, 2) for a main course, and 3) for dessert. Where we will dine on this particular ride has not been decided yet, and that is where you come in...

We want everyone to feel involved, so between now and September 19th please post your suggestions for great places to eat in the comment area for this ride (HERE). It could be a great location, a place with a particular item on the menu that is to die for, or something else special or unique that makes you love to go there. Three dining locations will be chosen, and a route put together based on your suggestions. This way we will all get to discover something new, which is always fun.

Suggested locations that don't get chosen for this ride will be kept in mind for future Meal on Wheels rides.

The locations we visit don't have to be fancy pants establishments. In fact, casual places with good grub are ideal; restaurants, bars, local holes in the wall, Best of LA winners, it's all good. Here are some things to keep in mind:

1) Scooter parking: Wherever we go we'll need to have parking for our scooters near by.
2) Price: Let's keep things affordable to start; say no more than $25 for appetizer, entree, and dessert combined. (Beverages separate.)
3) I'm willing to travel for good food but some general geographic boundaries to keep in mind are: Malibu to the north, Manhattan Beach to the South, Pasadena to the east.

Remember, each Meal on Wheels route will visit 3 locations in the same general geographic area, and within a fairly easy ride of each other. So, for example, Meal on Wheels #1 may be in the Pasadena area. Meal on Wheels #2 in the Santa Monica area, Meal on Wheels #3 in downtown LA area, etc. You get the idea.

This is a new way for us to put together a ride and one that I think can be very fun (and tasty) for all of us. I look forward to seeing everyones favorite restaurant and food suggestions. In fact I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!


Thanks everyone. I look forward to the day!

Happening this Sunday! First we are headng to The Oinkster for some amazing homemade grub (even their ketchup is homemade!). Then we ride off to old Route66 and the Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda Bar where people have been cooling off on hot days with incredible old school sodas, floats, and ice cream everythings, since 1915.

Come join us!
