That’s An Order.

If your last name is Rice and you don't name your kid Fried, you are dead to me.

I ordered the extra fancy variety the other night: salt cod fried rice, at Suburbia. They make it with shrimp, scallops, and sweet-and-sour pork-crab chili sauce. I tore off my breakaway pants as I approached that dish.

The finisher: death by chocolate. So this weekend, if you find yourself in the South Redondo area, east of Burnout Beach by Avenida del Norte, don’t be a bigshot – get a table.
