For those of you who only watch the Super Bowl for the ads, SNL made this fake ad for chicken wings.

Pedro Pascal doesn’t do much in that clip, but I love that guy ever since I saw him in the Nicolas Cage movie “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”, followed by “The Bubble”.

That might have been the moment I lost it completely, the sight of the baby pool. That elevated the bit beyond predictable SNL humor to out-of-control silly.

Even without an injured Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson’s 42 points scored helped the Golden State Warriors silence the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder.

Next up: a visit to the Portland Trail Blazers on NBC Sports Bay Area HD on Wednesday.

Having grown up in a sea of hamburgers (we never saw bbq ribs or visited a barbecue place in KC) I fail to understand how hamburgers can be quintessentially Los Angeles. They are, unfortunately for everyone's health, a staple of many US diets.

For LA, I would redirect you to Real Food Daily https://www.realfood.com/ -Southern California's premier organic, plant-based restaurant, serving a quality, authentic, creative, and nutritionally balanced menu. Since 1993, RFD has been a cherished destination where community happens around education, connection, and hospitality, over delicious, accessible food that's real.

Organic, authentic, accessible -- that's the LA food vibe.

If you must have a burger, there's always https://montysgoodburger.com/ or https://honeybeeburger.com/

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to upset you.

Perhaps I should just go San José and get a Togo's sandwich, even if it doesn't make much sense for this coming Super Bowl?

I was also considering a Super Bowl meal of a steak sandwich and baked potato from Longhorn Charcoal Pit in Sunnyvale (which I haven't had the time to visit since late last summer) even though it's more Texas than it is either Los Angeles or Cincinnati.

But I then looked it up just right now and discovered to my horror ...

"Popular Silicon Valley BBQ Joint closes after more than 60 years in business" (hoodline.com - Friday, 10/15/21)

Ohhhhhhh... damn!

I haven't been this sad about a restaurant closing since HomeTown Buffet, Golden Wok (in Mountain View) and The Elephant Bar all closed a few years ago.

And now the Santa Clara location of The Fish Market can officially be added to the list (although unlike the other examples, at least this restaurant chain still has other somewhat-local locations currently open) :

"The Fish Market closes Santa Clara store after 4 decades: 'An unexpected development'" (San Francisco Chronicle - Tuesday, 7/26/22)

The Fish Market, at 3775 El Camino Real in Santa Clara, has permanently closed after 43 years. (Kahanalei M. on Yelp)

Oh no, now Sam’s Hof Brau in Sacramento (I’d eaten there a few times before). Hopefully it can recover and open up again soon.

“Early morning fire heavily damages Sam’s Hof Brau restaurant in Sacramento County” (KCRA.com - Tuesday, 2/7/23)

Not all soccer cakes, but agreed.

I'm reminded of the 21st birthday cake for a law school buddy back in the 80s. His brother was a cake maker in L.A., and did cakes for movie stars. He did a birthday cake for his brother (my friend) featuring the (then) Supreme Court as drug users and floozies (spell check, please, @Earthshaker). Sandra Day O'Connor was partially disrobed, revealing her Victoria's Secret bra. Truly inspired work of art! (I have a photograph somewhere; will have to dig it out.)

Sounds interesting Don, but please I don’t want to have to stare at Sandra Day O’Connor or any other woman in a bra on this forum.
