Have you ever stumbled upon something so unexpected and awesome, you can't believe it's real? I think most of what I post is pretty special to me. And maybe to you, too. That's why you're still reading.
I agreed to take my friend to the airport one day and said that he owed me a drink. Rather than make our way west, to the typical beach side bars, we decided to explore some of the other parts of the South Bay. Our goal was to find a bar that was as awesome as The Roadhouse (I'll write about this sometime soon).
Working in Torrance has always had its perks for me. I have found some really great Japanese restaurants that I now love and have found a borderline biker bar that I also now love. What I was really in search of was a Japanese dive bar. Thank goodness for the "discovery" of Donna's.
In addition to meeting my above criteria, we had happened upon Donna's during a birthday party. The celebrant was more than happy to share in some home made kahlua port, noodles, and a myriad of other delicious treats. She even insisted that I take a plate home.
It may be slightly disappointing to revisit Donna's knowing that there won't be such a spread the next time I go. But I know that the drinks will be well priced (and payable with poker chips). That just puts a smile on my face.
