We headed to Bakersfield, California for Rob and Emily's wedding (woo!), and got to have lots of great meals along the way.
Shockingly, the first great meal was at.... Newark Airport?!?! We would like to alert the world to the fact that the Continental Airlines Terminal has the BEST NEW SUSHI PLACE! Who would have thought? Our server was extremely personable and kept bringing over free samples of yummy dishes. It was the best pre-flight meal either of us have ever had - fresh and light rather than pre-packaged and deep-fried. :)
Once we landed in Los Angeles, we had the pleasure of meeting up with DJ's Uncle Lakew, Uncle Belete, and cousin David. We went to Little Ethiopia and enjoyed a fabulous meal at Messob.
The tej was SOOOO authentic - not filtered at all. Almost as good as DJ's Aunt Abiti's. And the sambosas? GIGANTIC AND YUMMY!
After our brief stint in LA, we drove up to Bakersfield for the wedding. We got there nice and early, and since the wedding wasn't until late evening we grabbed some tasty lunch where we were staying - The Padre Hotel. DJ went for the trout and Mel tried the chicken salad - we were both surprised by how good our meals were! This hotel restaurant is definitely one to check out if ever in the area.
California = some darn good eatin'!

That's some homestyle-looking tej -- complete with little test-tube bottle. And the sushi place at Newark airport will be something to check out.
