We were scheduled to have lunch at The Venice Ale House ,
a recommendation from a big shot over at Playboy Magazine. It was literally a few steps away from Su Casa on the corner of Rose
Ave. The Venice Ale House was a treat indeed. After meeting head chef, Emilio Oliva, the owner/GM, Spoon Singh, sat us at one of
the outdoor tables on the boardwalk. Spoon was gracious and hospitable with a big California smile that reminded me of the
character Jack Tripper from the sitcom Three’s Company.

It was a typically gorgeous L.A. day. A Rastafarian on roller blades came skating by with a guitar playing some Jimmy Hendrix
licks while we sipped our first bloody mary’s of the day (Man, those were some good bloody mary’s!). Spoon came over to the table
to see what we were in the mood for and before I could utter a word, chef Emilio was at the window motioning to wait for his
suggestions that he was preparing especially for us.

I sat there enjoying the sunshine wearing a pair of cheap sunglasses I had just purchased from a Vietnamese lady who also sold
scarves and t-shirts on the boardwalk. She had some interesting suggestions about where we could purchase some medical
Marijuana a little further up the boardwalk. “Yes, I think I like this place”, I thought to myself.
