Wanna Chill? – Redondo Beach, CA
Rating- 9/10
Hello and welcome back to the Bi-Monthly Crunch! Like the last restaurant, this one is inspired by the tropical islands of Hawaii! However, unlike the barbeque, this little shop specializes in ice cream and smoothies, but are more commonly known for their shave ice! They are located in the King Harbor Plaza, just off PCH in Redondo Beach.
Lots of colors! Here I am ordering my shave ice, with vanilla ice cream on the bottom of course. Here’s a good tip: go to Wanna Chill on a Wednesday and get ANY SIZE shave ice for only $2! And added ice cream is only $.075 more! The prices are fair already, but this deal is hard to pass up.
My friend Ben Manclark checking out their list of flavors… it can be quite intimidating!!
Crunch time! I wore this shirt because it reminded me of shave ice! I chose banana and watermelon for my flavors, Ben chose the sour patch combo!
Every time you go, they’ll stamp your card for a free shave ice. As you can see I have been there quite a few times (On Wednesday of course)! Although I may be redundant, these tasty treats are perfect for a hot summer day! The prices are fair, and the service is great. They don’t mind at all if you go back to ask for extra syrup. The location isn’t the most aesthetic, however it is convenient for anyone who likes to take a cruise down PCH. Overall, I give the place a 9/10. Thanks for checking up on this weeks Bi-Monthly CRUNCH! See ya next week!

Hola amigos!! This week's "Thrifting with Puppy" I went to Rancho Cooastal Humane Society Thrift Shop!!! I was camping at San Elijo in Cardiff, CA and ran across the railroad tracks to find some treasures!
I've never been to this shop before so I was excited to see what I could get! I got this really cool Pack 797 Boy Scout t-shirt that's super comfortable. Also I found these cute floral grandma pants!! I love this area and all the cute little shops!
I've camped here since I was 5 but rarely walked around town, so I was stoked to find this thrift shop!

William Wendt was born on February 20th, 1865 in Bentzen Germany. When Wendt's family moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1880 he began to take an interest in painting. At the age of fifteen Wendt spent much of his time painting outdoors developing his unique landscape approach. During his youth in Chicago he also worked in a factory painting formula pictures; which hated. This lead him to pursue more spontaneity within his own works.

L & L Hawaiian Barbecue – Redondo Beach, CA
Rating- 8/10
Aloha! This weeks Bi-Monthly Crunch takes place at the L & L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurant, located in the midst of Redondo Beach’s one and only Riviera Village! The location is really charming, sporting many smaller local businesses. One of my favorite details of this area include the string lights that light up the streets at nighttime. Regardless of the many shops and restaurants, I didn’t find much trouble for parking, which was pleasant surprise.
Here I am placing my order at the front. Simple ordering, nothing fancy.
My good friend Ben Manclark about to chow down on his Katsu Chicken Bowl!
I ordered a Barbeque chicken plate, which also includes rice and macaroni salad. I was never given any sauce, so I had to go back to the front to grab some. The actual taste of the food was alright. And that response was coming from someone who hadn’t eaten all day. The rice and chicken seemed a little dry, but the salad was pretty good. I was, however, stoked on their selection of nectar drinks! They had everything, ranging from strawberry to peach, but I decided to go with my classic fave; guava!
Selfie break!
For some reason I liked this trash can. It was cool to see it say “Mahalo” instead of “Thank You”. I really liked the overall look of the interior of the restaurant. It was very true to it’s theme, but wasn’t overwhelming. The location was very relaxing, and the prices were fair, however the food was just decent. I give it an overall 8/10. Mahalo for stopping by this weeks Bi-Monthly Crunch!! See you in two weeks!

Thomas Moran was born in Bolton England on February 12, 1837 to an American family. His family moved back to the United States in the early 1840's and settled in Philadelphia. When he was only a teenager he began an apprenticeship making wood-engravings. During his apprenticeship he grew tired of engraving so he spent more of his time dabbling in watercolor painting . In the mid 1850's he began illustrating for Scattergood and Telfer which just so happened to be one of the companies which he was previously engraving for.
