I’ve been missing the food from the Slummin’ Gourmet and since they rarely come to the South Bay, I had to trek out to NoHo. The NoHo team coordinates a fine event. They operate on a private parking lot and usually have a live band to provide the entertainment. Tonight, they had two local bands performing and everyone seemed to have enjoyed the music.

I had Slummin’s special of the day – grilled salmon tacos with a red Thai curry sauce. It was topped with mint cucumber slaw and chopped peanuts. Flavors worked very well, but it was very difficult holding the taco w/o the insides falling out. The Cali Diver scallop slider was amazing. It was moist and grilled to perfection.

I topped everything off with their famous banana bread pudding. What is unique about their pudding is that it has a nice crisp outside and it’s topped with vanilla ice cream and surrounded by slices of caramelized bananas. Wow!
