verdict: tasty, try it!

my friend brought me here for lunch today and boy was the food super tasty!!! so yummy!! i got the three piece dark meat rotisserie chicken with a side of broccoli pasta and vegetarian rice primavera. everything was well seasoned and every mouthful packed a punch. i liked the bbq sauce to dip with my chicken...it made a good dipping sauce for the pita too.

the only drawbacks might be the the long lines and the crowded dining area. we were able to find seating right away, but i can imagine it being impossible to find space during a really busy day. if i'm in the area again, it is a definite "must eat." can't believe it's only a recent discovery....i could have been a fan a LONG time ago.

verdict: omg, i love it!

to me, diddy riese meant a late night sweet run when i was an undergrad at ucla. it also meant looking for loose change in my backpack and standing in outrageous lines waiting to pick up THE CHEAPEST dessert treat in town.

many, many years later, diddy riese meant getting a ticket for jay walking. it is still yummy, but watch out for those westwood cops. if you THINK you can just walk across the street from bj's, DON'T. your ass will get an ice cream sandwich AND a ticket.
