Chirashi Lunch Set Dish 3 at Kanpai Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill



Our random meal of the day is a RMOTD Photographer edition. We have the third dish of the Chirashi Lunch Set. Since it was not my random meal, I choose this dish and quickly photographed it. This is an assortment of sashimi over sushi rice.

My "point & shoot" Sony is a bit magical. I used the macro mode on this shot. It is funny how it is placed on the Sony site with the rest of the Cyber-shot Compact Digital Cameras. I think it is great that nobody gives me a second look when I take photographs with this camera.

Found at Kanpai Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill in Venice, California.

Asian Shrimp Salad (2013) at California Fish Grill



Our random meal of the day brings us the not so random Asian Shrimp Salad. I love the generous amount of grilled shrimp that tops the salad. It almost feels like I am not eating a salad.

BBQ, Bacon & Cheddar Burger at Smashburger



We have a BBQ, Bacon & Cheddar Burger for our random meal of the day. A new chain burger joint opened close enough to my work and I decided to try it out. This is an order at the counter and they bring the burger to your seat restaurant. I am glad to see that they take care to present the food well. Yum.

World Famous Doughboys Red Velvet Cake at Doughboys Cafe



Happy Monday Random Mealers! Our random meal of the day treat brings us the World Famous Doughboys Red Velvet Cake. This is actually an individual serving size. OMG, this was just absolutely fantastic! The Red Velvet Cake was actually featured as one of Oprah's Favorite Things way back in 2006. This is actually not hype like I thought it was going to be. The cake was so perfectly moist and has an abundant amount of cream cheese frosting. I was actually not hungry at the time but felt like a dessert treat, so I made the tragic mistake of sharing. We ended up devouring the cake in what felt like seconds. It was like, what happened? Well, before leaving, the waiter must have saw it in my face and offered a take out order of the spectacular red velvet cake. YES, instantly came out of my mouth. I am not sharing this time...

Tonkotsu Miso Ramen at Kanpai Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill



This random meal of Tonkotsu Miso Ramen was surprisingly really good. I did a quick look up on yelp and the yelpers were mentioning that the ramen was only served after 10PM. This makes sense because this is a sushi bar after all. I just asked if they had the ramen during lunch and they said yes! So ramen it is. In my opinion, I rank this ramen on my personal list as #2! Ninja Ninja food...

The Miller Special Deep Dish at Fresh Brothers



The Miller Special Deep Dish is our random meal of the day. This pizza is almost a blend between a deep dish and a thin crust pizza is how it is made. We start with a layer of tomato sauce that is thicker than a thin crust but not as heavy as a deep dish. We then load the pizza with sausage, ham, bacon and pepperoni. It is a spectacular meaty treat!

Chicken Katsu & Cheese Curry at Curry House



Our random meal of the day brings us an order of Chicken Katsu & Cheese Curry. This random meal is actually a bit different than what they use to serve. Now you get to choose between the white meat of a chicken breast or the dark meat of a chicken leg. We also give it a kick by adding some awesome cheese.
