Mugs Up



Today was lunch time with artist Jeffrey James Mohr or Jeffe. We couldn't think of a place to eat so i suggested the diner in back of the old Treehouse studios, where he used to live and curate shows. Mugs Up, 2232 Enterprise St. LA CA 90021, 213-683-1510, has been there for 31 years. The Chinese couple that runs it are very sweet and friendly. Among the framed images in the place include a portrait of George W and Laura Bush, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and Sylvester Stallone. There are great drawings they've receive from customers throughout the years of the cafe both interiors and exteriors. Jeffe ordered the chicken fried steak and I the meatloaf dinner. The mix of canned sweet corn, can gravy, box mash potato and butt-thick meatloaf was endearing and fun but we paid for it later. It's a good thing we got back safely. Driving was really murky and questionable after this high-fat meal but it was good. It afforded me fond memories of TV dinners with my little brother after school.
