In a shocking turn of events, we were shocked to find out that Almost Famous burned
down yesterday. At least no one was hurt
which is the most important thing. Being
the inspiration for the name of our blog this write up of our visit to LLLB in
April is a tribute to the guys behind the restaurants.
The
items we ordered included the lettuce cups filled with chicken, peanuts,
pineapple and mango salsa with BBQ sauce.
These were quite fiddly to eat by hand but were different and
refreshing. Dirty chicken street tacos
topped with cheese, pico de gallo and chipotle sour cream which was
flavoursome.
We also
ordered two bigger dishes which were the jail break beef chilli filled with
chorizo, smoky andrich, bacon, sour cream and served with tortilla chips and
yum yum sticky pork buns, filled with spicy sticky pork on brioche with pineapple
and mango salsa, also a healthy dose of chillis which you can see from the pic below
which Mrs Nom picked off. We
complimented all this with a side of mac and cheese.
Our
table for two was quite small and we wanted the dishes together which was a bad
combination. However we managed to fit
everything on and attracted quite a few looks from other diners. Not sure why though as it wasn’t that much
food really, just the plates were big! A
diner in the eye line of Mrs Nom was making her uncomfortable by constantly
looking over with a smirk. Most people
we observed were having burritos and not really entering into the sharing
spirit which surely is what this type of food is about.
The
food was more adventurous than what we’ve had at Wahaca and Lucha Libre which
are quite similar being clean flavours rather than the stacked dishes at
LLLB. Each being enticing in their own
right. Both Almost Famous and Lust
Lust Liquor & Burn will be sorely missed until they reopen. We hope you come back bigger, better and
stronger.
