It was founded Oct. 2, 2006 when 2 UCLA law students realized that they were suffering from a disabling combination of FILJGTCPKD ("Fcuk It Let's Just Go to CPK Disorder") and Sibyllus ("Senioritus and Boredom in Law School Syndrome"). Our mission is to explore the diverse "Under $15" culinary landscape of Los Angeles one stomach-full at a time.twentypounderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16640798463335463222noreply@blogger.comBlogger141100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35827785.post-27169623608002224222006-11-14T19:02:00.000-08:002006-11-16T17:31:43.020-08:00

Ms. L. "Where's My Burrito?" W. woke up late Sunday morning and couldn't decide on whether she wanted dim sum, wontons, dumplings, eggs, burgers, or leftover chili verde for brunch. After a prolonged internal debate about what to eat, she decided to venture out to the Los Angeles International Tamale Festival with Mr. Chris ("C Mo") in search of tamales. Our first stop was Coronado's Fresh

At this past Thursday night's meeting, DEP sisters eagerly anticipated next week's hike to the Himalayas as they debated whether Nepalese food would be more akin to Indian or Chinese food. Ms. C. "Are We Still Getting Our Food?" P. even remarked,"The Nepalese have their own food?" The confusion was merited: Nepal is a small South Asian country landlocked by Tibet to the north and India to the

This week, the sisterhood ventured out to Little Ethiopia for a little hands-on experience of East African cuisine at Rosalind's Ethiopian Restaurant. This find was tucked neatly among several other Ethiopian restaurants and convenience stores on "Ethiopian Row" near La Cienega and Fairfax. The decor of straw huts and African art provided for a warm ambience. The restaurant was neatly partitioned

All Hallow's Eve arrived early for DEP this year when six sisters gathered to dine by candlelight, or shall we say, to dine by a candle light at Warszawa. Only moments after appetizers were served, we experienced a haunting power outage. Ms. C.P.'s immediate reaction was appropriate. "So, are we still getting our food!?!?" she exclaimed to the waiter. Although other DEP members were noticably

DEP would like to extend its gratitude to Ms. L "I out eat grown men" S for her outstanding work in creating a crest for Delta Eta Pie. After careful thought and much deliberation, Ms. L.S. helped DEP decide on the four following symbols: a cornucopia, a wine goblet, the scales of justice and an English rose. It is our hope that this crest will serve to remind us of the goals to which we aspired

Ms. L.W., Ms. L.S. and Ms. J.H. were in attendance this week as well as new member, Ms. S. "Yucca is Yucky" R.Although Ramayani looked dingy from the outside, sitting on a bustling Westwood Blvd. corner with a tacky mustard, yellow sign, the restaurant was quite cozy and clean inside. When we arrived, we were greeted and served by a sweet and gentle elderly couple, quite likely the owners. To the

W. ventured down Westwood Blvd. to try out some Persian cuisine at Shaherzad.The flatbread was freshly baked in an warm, glowing oven.
