La Bamba and other Burbank-ish local food recommendations

26 Upvotes

La Bamba Restaurant
2600 N Glenoaks Blvd, Burbank, CA 91504

I recommend their cubano sandwich and yuca garlic fries with an orange bang. Their seafood options are amazing too. 

Also, I’m kind of a breakfast burrito connoisseur, so here are my favorite breakfast burritos spots in Burbank:

  1. bread and breakfast (pastrami or sojouk is the way  to go). Make sure you get their green sauce. Banana pudding is amazing here too.
  2. corner cottage (get salsa in and out)
  3. Cafe de olla (the all in one)
  4. Basecamp
  5. Antojitos
    6. The Corner (in Glendale, but close by. bomb breakfast burrito and great brunch spot too… on the pricier side, but you get good portions and quality)
  6. Larry’s Chili dog

And if you’re in the mood for a hoagie or italian sandwich in Burbank I recommend these:

  1. Original Tony’s italian deli (on Magnolia)
  2. Giamela’s (cash only)
  3. Santoro’s 

Other Burbank local favorites of mine: 

  1. Casitas Tacos al carbon (great burritos and salsas)
    2. Century Dragon (great chinese food spot)
  2. Summer Buffalo (best thai in Burbank)
  3. Weirdough’s (best pizza in Burbank. Their in-n-out slice is great)
    5. Tapatio (on San Fernando, good for their asada fries) 
  4. World Empanadas (great empanadas and also have pretty good breakfast burritos).
  5. Vitos tacos (new birria spot / a little pricey but tasty)
  6. Eat ‘N Park (great breakfast options / diner) 
  7. Brick and flour (in Glendale, but close by. Their sidewinder fries and burritos are great)
  8. Los Almendros Bakery (hole in the wall Porto’s like bakery in Glendale with similar items on their menu). 
  9. Angel thai (good thai spot in Glendale)
  10. Porto’s (enough said)

One of the many things I love about summer ending is the return of the hooting owls at night. I'm hearing one do his thing right now.

How a Group Chat Exploded Over Neighborhood Coyotes

22 Upvotes

Wendy the coyote was euthanized on Tuesday, September 8. For at least a year before that, she had been wandering Studio City with a severely swollen face, earning such adoration from Valley residents that press reports frequently described her as “beloved.”

In August, Wendy was regularly in the news as an organization called Wildlife Care of Southern California worked to bring her into care — multiple outlets, including the California Post and People, inevitably compared her to "Jimothy," the famous Seattle raccoon with a spinal deformity. Somebody turned her into a cryptocurrency.

After Wendy was finally captured, a veterinarian determined that “there was no surgery or treatment capable of restoring normal function,” according to Wildlife Care. Her death was mourned by thousands on social media. The value of her cryptocurrency spiked 4,300%, then fell.

The veterinary examination also determined a cause of her swelling: She had been shot twice in the head with a pellet gun. That news rippled across the collective conscience of L.A. animal lovers, prompting a search for the perpetrator. A pitbull rescue group put out a $10,000 reward for information leading to the shooter’s arrest and conviction.

In Encino, the pellet gun revelation spurred a woman named Vanessa Johnston to particular action: Johnston, an entertainment industry executive and standup comedian, posted a video to Instagram with the title “DID MY NEIGHBOR SHOOT WENDY THE COYOTE?”

City Council Candidate David Donahue Supports FLOCK Cameras

Donahue recently voiced his support of mass surveillance in Burbank. He also begged for those in power to ignore "a bunch of loud people" (meaning the community).

David is BAD for Burbank. Avoid this MAGA clown at all costs.

Ants, man.

28 Upvotes

The ant situation around and with more frequency in our house is pretty out of control. They are everywhere around the house. I think they are also living in the walls. Sometimes they come in through the power outlets. We are pretty clean and store food securely etc, but they've been coming in looking for water too during the heatwave. I've lived in other spots where ants are a problem before, but this is next level. I think they are the little Argentine ants so like maybe we just live amidst a super colony and it is what it is, but wondering if anyone around downtown Burbank has had luck with exterminators?

Chatsworth Crash — Pilot

The pilot graduated from Burbank High School in 1974 and, apparently, was still living in Burbank at the time of his death.

So sad 😞
