Wait, foodpr0n is local?
Yep. She was jlunar on Chowhound. I met her and Renée Suen on March 17, 2007. We went for dim sum. They were both posting on eGullet back then.
Doh! I realised I was following foodporn instead. I think it’s my time for reading glasses.

That one hurts.
Went to Jumbo Empanadas, possibly for the last time. Everything remains awesome The beef empanada [left] is sweetened with raisins and features portions of boiled egg. The chicken empanada [right] is moist and rich in flavour. The cheese empanada [middle] is simple and thus a great vehicle for the salsa fresca, with its gentle kick and fresh cilantro. All are within the same bready-wrapping, with toasty notes from the oven. The fabulous corn pie remains a wonderful collision of the above two meats covered in a layer of sweet, semi-pureed corn. Alas, due to one of the employees being home with a sick child, they weren’t able to make their equally wondeful vegetable empanada (full of spinach and mushrooms) and the tamale-adjacent humitas. We’ll try to go back again for those. We took repeats of everything else home for a subsequent meal.
