Really glad to hear that you enjoyed Swish
Hi ocwatchnewbie!
Glad to hear you enjoyed Swish. Thanks for the pics, they all looked delicious. I haven't been to the Vegas Bouchon but might try it on the next visit.
And your daughter is so adorable in the robe.
We had a chance to visit Swish at their new location in early January and the food was just as good as before. Here's a few pics from our visit to Swish:
The only thing I really miss is having the large U shaped bar area in the old location.
But I guess having tables works better when dining with friends. 
It was pretty cool that the owner remember us from our previous visits and gave us some free mochi ice cream:

Made fresh since 1948....
A tasty Southern California original favorite....In-N-Out Burger! Cheese Burgers and Fries. Regulars know about the secret menu. Usually I go animal style on the fries but got it 'well-done'. Yum! -MW...
I Like your style Ming
a nice cheese burger would go down well damm ....but you are so far Enjoy
Thanks!
Hello gazoz! People come from all over to eat at a In-N-Out burger when they visit L.A. It's a phenomenon like no other, the burgers are really good. Hope you visit the local LA. PuristS one day and join us for a 'double-double'! -MW
Try the Animal Fries
You should try the Animal Fries. It's not on the menu, but they'll make it when you order Cheers,
Animal-Style....yum!
I usually go animal style on my fries but felt like well-done this time. Jet, you sound like a regular at In-N-Out! -MW
Love it
Hahaha.. Whenever I come to USA, I always have In-N-Out. My tour guide brought me there the first time, since then for me it's the best burger ever. But surprisingly In-N-Out are not open in most cities of USA. They should expand their branches to cities ...
Hello Jet!
They don't franchise so I doubt they will expand to the East Coast. Besides, New York has White Castle, ever try those? -MW
I miss In-N-Out!
One of the worst things about moving out of California is missing In-N-Out and Trader Joe's! Sigh!!! I like my double double with grilled onions and well-done fries. . . . ..and if I really feel like splurging - a root beer float!
That's another place.....
Trader Joe's? That's another local favorite! Root Bear floats......mmmmmmmm yummy! eloise, not trying to tept you or anything but there is a In-N-Out right outside of LAX on Sepulveda! -MW
Hello Quan!
Whenever you visit L.A., let us know and the local PuristS will show you all the foodie hotspots! With or without cheese on your burger? -MW
In-N-Out Urge...
I saw a 'modified' In-N-Out bumper sticker a few years ago, they took the words "In-N-Out Burger", removed the "B" and the last "r" so it read "In-N-Out urge", which can mean a lot of things I suppose (yes, that's what she said, uh-huh). But when I was in...
hehehe, back in the day.....
Hello chaser579, Hey I remember that! Back in my high school days it was popular with the teenagers to modify the sticker to read In-N-Out urge! I've been to Fuddruckers in Omaha and there is one in the Valley here in L.A., their burgers are tasty. Have y...
No, haven't been to those places...
Since I live in Colorado now and wish I was back in Cali but the cost-of-living can be high compared to the rest of the country, depending on where one lives, job/salary, etc. I'm originally from back East (Big and Apple) but have been in the Mile-High Ci...
MmmMM looks good. I haven't had a burger in a while
since I'm trying to eat more healthy. I may have to give in after seeing your In and Out burger pics! ooOoO the temptation! Salivating, Anthony
Healthy?
Well as I tell my patients, part of being Healthy is being Happy, I feel Happy when I EAT and that makes me Healthy!!!! -MW
its time for a visit...
love the place... maybe a casual GTG in the local parking lot of In-n-Out with the cars and watches that purists roll in...:P
Sounds like a plan!
We have a great bunch of PuristS in the O.C. area so this is a great idea! How was Vegas? -MW
been a busy Jan so I haven't updated..
took up Purists recommendation and visited Swish and Bouchon! Being that it was a Monday/Tuesday, many of the resturants were closed also, the Wynn and Belagio resorts have a 5 year old age lower age limit for their resturants... we were actually quite up...
+1 with Swish being great!
Hi OCwatchnewbie, Swish is on my high list for favorite shabu-shabu. I can't wait for my next Vegas trip to visit this little joint again. PS: your daughter is adorable! Regards, ATM

I wanted to.....
Hello sten! I should have ordered a doubledouble. Have you eaten a 3X3 or a 4X4? -MW
Never tried 3x3 or 4x4...
I would love to try it some day, even though I really shouldn't.... I guess I know what 's for dinner tonight.
fries well done...
Hi, Ming, I love In N Out, including their fries, but one thing that always irritated me is when (often) specific fries are underdone, sometimes even cold and hard. :-( I didn't know one could order it "well done." Thanks for the heads up!
......would you like fries with that? =)
In-N-Out fries comes in some choices: Animal style, Fries Light (slightly undercooked) , Fries Well Done (crispy and oily as it is cooked longer), and Cheese Fries. The next topic will be secret menus!!!! Anyone for a Red Gummi Bear? -MW
IN-N-OUT Service
Yes, their burgers and fries are fresh and tasty. What impresses me even more about the company, though, is that their staff (of teenagers, mostly) is uniformly engaged, energetic, courteous and, well, wholesome (if that word means anything anymore). I wo...
Yep, Happiest Place on Earth!
Oooops, that's the other place! You are lucky that there is one not too far from you guys at work. We should meet up one day and do lunch there! -MW
Secret menu...
Hi DRMW, My family love In & Out burgers. It's a must go-to place for our visiting overseas relatives & friends, which always end up in a pleasant situations for everyone: visitors get to taste "unique" food in California (I figure it's a shorter wait tha...
Neopolitan shake....
I forgot to order a milkshake. Guess I need to go back for more! -MW
That is really cool
I'm not a fan of burgers, but that looks yummy. All In-N-Out's I've seen always have a long line and I have to admit that the burgers are pretty good. Definitely better than McDo and the other fast food chains. Thanks ATM for the rundown of the secret men...
I need to hang with you more often.
Look great. Based on the secret menu I have been eating Protein Style since my visit to LA. . JerryW This message has been edited by JerryW on 2010-01-28 17:11:06
I offer you a trade....
We visit you for Texas BBQ and you visit us for L.A. burgers! -MW
Daos' favorite In-N-Out meal
1 order animal-style fries plus... 1 Double Double with grilled onions plus... 1 Neopolitan shake equals a satisfied Daos. Thanks for the pictures, MW! I love In-N-Out! Until my favorite hometown hamburger joint opened here (Five Guys), it was my favorite...
Hey, we just went there for lunch today!
I didn't see this post until now. They're in the Bay Area as well. Double-double cheeseburger animal style rocks!
Did you get.....
Hello Allen, Did you get fries and a milk shake to go with the doubledouble? -MW
Fries for sure! The In-n-out milkshake is a bit too creamy for me.
Getting more lactose intolerant as I'm getting older...
