A big thank you to @Vessi for sponsoring this video. Loving the city of LA more and more as I get the chance to continue exploring DTLA and other surrounding places. Thanks to your suggestions, I could not resist to try the best cuban bakery in LA...the famous ‪@portosbakeryandcafe‬ From the Cubanos to their luscious potato balls, everything down to the cafe con leche to the pastries were phenomenal ... I could not think of a better way to start off the day!
But that's just the beginning as the sunny weather here in LA is ideal for outdoor food markets! And I had a fantastic time exloring and eating the LA's ‪@smorgasburg‬ outdoor market. I was an exceptionally hot day, and to cools things off, I had to visit some of the unique craft beverages, indulge in a little bit of seafood with oystersters and a wonderful Lobster noddle that was cooked to perfection! ..and to top things off..ice cream!!!
And as usual, as good as the food was, it was the people! From the hosts and servers at Porto's Bakery to the great people from the LA community. Thank you once again for joining me! Absolutely appreciate this virtual community here!
Again, thank you for joining me on the food tour! Here are some useful links:

I swear every video you sell me more and more on vessi, you're too charismatic!! Whenever I get caught in a sudden downpour I always remember your videos and then I want to go grab a bite rather than retreat to safety lol😂

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

LoL, thank you 🙂. Actually, really grateful for Vessi...I think they saw me wearing one of their sneakers in a video and reached out to support with their sponsorship... It's kinda fun to purposely walk into a puddle during the rain😆

[@kimbarudd]

Great video, Tim!! So glad you went to Porto's, which is considered sacred ground in SoCal. I know you experienced a "long line,: but during holidays, the line at the Burbank location goes out the door and down the sidewalk halfway to the parking lot. Fortunately, the line always goes very quickly...their employees are well trained and very friendly. The Cubano and medianoche sandwiches are incredible!!

[@TiffanyDing]

OMG crossiant taiyaki?!?!?! And shrimp daddy from stirandstyle?? The Cubano and pastries looked delish… yum! What a fun day!!!!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

There's so many more stalls to try...😋

[@mindysmom6132]

Awesome video! I’m so happy that you’re sponsored by Vessi! I LOVE wearing my Vessi’s in the rain, just to prove that they really are waterproof! 🥰 They’re so light in weight as well. Awesome that you got to try Porto’s! We live near one of their locations, so we are there quite often. While, I do love their classic items that they’re known for, the other dishes are equally as amazing. Our go-to sandwich is the ‘Pan con Lechon.’ It’s filled with their garlicky roasted pork-that melts in your mouth, topped with pickled red onion, on their amazing rolls. They also have that in plate form, served with black beans, rice, and plantains. My go-to salad choice is the ‘Rustic Chopped Chicken Salad,’ with greens/kale, grilled chicken breast, candied bacon, grape tomatoes, cotija cheese, avocado, and red onion. OMGEEE! My mouth is watering! I definitely want to try Smorgasburg sometime, when it’s not so hot out. Bill and Lisa loved it, and everything they had, along with everything you had, definitely makes me want to go! Thank you so much for sharing your day with us!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Some black beans and rice would have really hit the spot... as simple as it sounds, when done right, it's amazingly tasty. I would love to go back as there's so many items you mentioned that sounds so tempting!!!

[@billandlisa]

Great review of Porto's and Smorgasburg, Tim! Now, we're in the mood for some potato balls and cheese rolls. And, thanks so much for the shoutout! =)

[@minlui2752]

Bill & Lisa, it’s so hot in LA now as he mentioned in the video. Otherwise, it would be nice for him to not interview but just go closer to each vendors to show their food just like you guys all do at all the buffets 😝. I do admit that there are Not many KZbinrs who would go out of their way to show every vendors in the festivals or farmers markets, etc. Go Out On A Lim and Dining With Derek are 2 KZbinrs who actually did show every single vendors in the farmers markets in Hawaii. It was probably a year ago that they did the farmers markets in Hawaii 🥦🥬🥒🌶🫑🥕🫒🧄🍆🍅🥝🥥🥑🍍🥭🍑🍒🍈🫐🍓🍇🍉🍌🍏🍎🍐🍊🍋. These days it is too hot to be walking around like that 🥵.

[@minlui2752]

Bill & Lisa, another KZbinr Anita Lee did the farmers market in Vancouver about a month ago. She showed a lot of vendors especially the vegetables and fruits vendors. Hawaii has the special vendor with the abalone that Mr. Lim and Mr. Derek not only showed, but also ate the abalone which was awesome. Not everyone likes the abalone, and not everyone is familiar with the Asian delicacy unfortunately.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you for all the great recommendations... I'm craving prime rib from Lawry's right about now 😋

[@tinayu4540]

So glad you were finally able to go to Porto's! The potato balls are my one of my favorites, but the fruit tart...that is to die for! I love it so much, I actually served that at my wedding back in 2005. And of course I request it for my birthday every year. I definitely need to get myself to Smorgasburg. Everything looks so good!

Tim: you're really doing a lot in the LA area. I've enjoyed the last few but this da,y, for me, was the most interesting! Firstly, I have Cuban family in Miami so Cuban pastries, Comfort food & drinks I know very well. Porto's looked very authentic ! I think the only Cuban classic you missed was a batido, which is a fruit milk shake! I can't believe you pigged out at breakfast! Now that Smorgasburg was very, very interesting! So, so much selection! I know your crazy for the lobster! I assume it only works weekends? Super video!

Mr. Blower, you said the weather was awesome!!!! He mentioned a few times that it was extremely hot 🥵!!!! If the weather wasn’t so hot, he could had shown each and every vendors’ food. He don’t need to eat each vendors’ food. Of course, not many KZbinrs go out of their way to do this even in good weather. Dining With Derek and Go Out On A Lim have done it though in a big farmers market in Hawaii about a year ago or so.

Portos is a curse. They started in my neighborhood, in a hole in the wall when I was a kid. I found out about it, it was in Glendale, my mother ask me to buy some Guava and cheese strudel for a Christmas party. I worked nights so I can go there in the morning. I was pissed because I was there all morning. When my coworkers found out I was close, they ask me to bring some all the time. I found out two of my coworkers live even closer. I made it a rule, when I bring something, I mix it up. I didn't want people to get use to me bringing Portos.
