To wit, PILIPINO (PILIPINO!) food is having a moment here in La-La Land, and we will have nothing to do with it! Keep that ube and halo-halo away! But if they make something &rsquo;murrikan enough, we will have no choice but to put it inside our mouth at mealtime. Of course, we don&rsquo;t shill for just any Amero-Mechica restos. There&rsquo;s a budget-friendly option right here on the eastern edge of Studio City, and they do a good job &mdash; and you don&rsquo;t have to be drunk to understand the food is tasty, either! Over here, we go for the Shrimp Scampi Burrito. Again, not authentic Mechica, more Amero-Mechica, but how can you not enjoy a Shrimp Scampi Burrito every now and again, as long as shellfish do not pose an allergy risk or dietary-law conflict. A good mix of garlic, butter, white (!) rice and pico de gallo.<\/p>\n<p>At the other end of town, west on Ventura Blvd. nearing the border with Sherman Oaks, go over to the Sharky&rsquo;s and enjoy another shrimp burrito, this time Tempura Battered (remember, we are in La-La Land now, where the cultures get all mashed together; sorry, U.S. Rep. Steve King, R.-Iowa!) and filled with firm black beans and cabbage.<\/p>\n<p>At both, have a few freshly made chips with the fire-roasted salsa. We are suckers for fire-roasted salsa, which has a smokiness and depth plain-old salsa does not offer.<\/p>\n<p>Again, we are not adventurous eaters, but we are all in the bag for shrimp burritos and fire-roasted salsa. If you think of it, send a shrimp burrito with some fire-roasted salsa over to U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. Let&rsquo;s see what happens there.<\/p>\n<p>(P.S. Sorry for the delay this time. Sorry we missed Keeneland Opening Day for yourself. Maybe tomorrow.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yesterday<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Chas.
