Polka Restaurant

Huell takes us on a Polish adventure, visiting Polka Restaurant in Eagle Rock. Ah-MAY-zing to say the least!

On our Huellventure, Polka Restaurant definitely lived up to the hype. Even at 2 in the afternoon on a Tuesday the place was packed. The decor was intense - with sassy bumper stickers and "Polish Parking only" signs everywhere. As for our meal - the first course of soup was absolutely insane and obviously contained little bits of heaven. The second course was just as satisfying and the Sesame Delight dressing IS delicious. For our main course we shared a plate of kielbasa and different kinds of pierogi (little polish dumplings stuff with meat and cheese). By the time we finished, we had to roll ourselves out of there.

Definitely check it out - and check out their website: http://www.polkacatering.com/index.html which is packed with hilarious and random quotes like "Eating with class makes you healthier and happier!" and a full page on their Sesame Delight dressing.

Well Hello There!

Meet Huell Howser। Host of California's Gold, explorer, adventurer, life enthusiast and my current spiritual guru. Those of you who watch KCET know that Huell has been a staple of Southern California public television for over 25 years, bringing us mountains of hidden historic, unique and interesting gems from every corner of this great state. Armed with a microphone, a cameraman, wide-eyed curiosity, and plenty of southern charm, Huell easily gains amazing interviews from small business owners, park rangers, docents, and random people on the street.

In the thousands of episodes of California's Gold, California's Green, California's Water, California's Golden Parks, Cal Communities, Road Trip, and Visiting, Huell shows us that a positive attitude, enthusiasm and passion for learning new things can lead to all kinds of nerdy fun.

I'm a transplant to Southern California, but I have taken to Huell's teachings with an eagerness that some people might say borders on cultish devotion. Before you judge, let me say that I have visited many of the places Huell has covered and my experiences on these Huellventures have enriched my life beyond belief.

So that being said, this blog will serve as a place to share my past and future adventures, laced with other enjoyable items that make living in Los Angeles fun and fulfilling.
