I'll Skip the Snake Blood

I'm the first to admit I'm not an adventurous eater.  I know what I like and I'm happy to stick to it.

So when GeezBob suggested we have lunch last Saturday at M Con on Beverly Boulevard -- a restaurant featuring Taiwanese sandwiches, small plates and bowls -- I was more than skeptical.

But I also want to be open to new experiences so I said OK.  I doubt that I'll ever go back but the food was pretty good after all.  After a few modifications, my brisket sandwich was terrific.

But, just the same, give me a good, old-fashioned American diner and I'm perfectly happy.
