PYE - Din-Din with Yelp Friends in Los Alamitos

Yelp, are you kidding me????? So much for reminders. Jeeez! Had I not remembered this event myself, I swear it'd have likely never even been reviewed. Lawd........ I tell you. Ryan --- I am sooo- sorry for the delay in composing this and well.......you know how Grammy nominees tend to accept their awards and thank God? Following in pursuit, first and foremost allow me to thank you for having invited the select few Elites that you did, to join you in kicking off this PYE. I'd truthfully never even heard of "Shenandoah" and when it was referenced in conversation I can't state that I knew exactly what to expect let alone where it was. I perused the menu a bit while online and that stated, I can speak candidly in saying that photos DO NOT do this place justice! This is in terms of location, ambiance and food collectively. Drove out and admittedly, I/we arrived a bit late. I wasn't really feeling all that great after my 2 hour trek from North Hollywood and attributed it likely to me being overworked and...........UNDERFED, lol. Nothing like food and great company to take you from the trenches to an undeniable HIGH and that's exactly what this experience was!!! ---   Ya' know,....there's that saying, "Make new friends but keep the old, some are silver yet the others gold". --- That pretty much sums things up here.

Ryan P. organized a little get together with some yelp-migos to Shenandoah at the Arbor. The southern comfort food really set the mood for genuine laughs mixed with a photo shoot: first of the food, then of ourselves!! Lovely running into my old peeps: Ryan P., Maila H., Rudy H., Shawna C., and Brandon C. and always looking forwards to new buddies: Amber L., Steven C., and Cheryl W. The usual: - My desire to order everything - Phones or plates being passed around for picture taking purposes - Maila H. and I went to "the restroom" and got distracted by selfies on our way back - Group pictures and selfies after we were done eating The no-so usual: - Brandon C. had the nicest rack there tonight - I had the nicest mustache -- Ryan P. had mustaches and props to encourage our selfie taking obsession!! She is THE BEST!! :D I'll save food talk for the actual restaurant page, but I still want to make a quick shout out to my Country Fried Pork Chop!! So sexyyyyy!! We all had a gre...
