A friend of ours put together a gastronomic tour of Los Angeles in combination with some sightseeing detours. Needless to say we were completely stuffed at the end of the day despite trying not to eat more than necessary at each location. And it even spilled over into a 2nd day. We have not attempted to repeat the experience since, but have discussed other places to try out.
