My kingdom for a bean burrito which chicharrones and smothered in green chilli. I go back to Denver and buy a roasted bushell of New Mexico green chillis to make it myself.

Of course my options are limited here, or anywhere in the large surrounding area. Everytime I go out to eat (which isn't often here) I'm always comparing the food. Like "we had 2 Indian restaurants and 2 Thai restaurants in walking distance" or "the burritos were this big and would last me for 3 meals" or "there I could get chorizo on my nachos for fuck's sake". And I say almost all of the food because the only thing I never found that was better than home was southern food, but it is hard to find southern style, period, outside of the south. I'm sure there's a reason for that. I’m the opposite as in almost all of the food I had when I lived in CA (Not in LA but not too far north of there) was better than what I have available here.

I too am a transplant, just shy of 2 years as an Angeleno. As a Midwesterner from a fairly rural area, I'd say my pastime has been more like "Everything Was Different Where I Came From." Sure I miss some things, but this place is so damned big I can almost always find a fairly suitable replacement for the food I loved back home. Except maybe pizza (and I'm not even a New Yorker). Los Angeles has redefined the word taco for me. I wish them luck finding something comparable in NYC. The tacos here certainly are special. I too am a transplant, just shy of 2 years as an Angeleno.
