I honestly can't believe I never knew about this little gem in Van Nuys off of White Oak and…read moreVanowen! So I wanted to have a few friends come over with their kids on Sunday so they could play and we could watch football. I decided to hop on the grill, grab some drinks and make it a fun little day for everyone. I checked to see if my normal butcher spot was open but to my surprise it was permanently shut down. So I decided to look for a place nearby and came across Danny's Fresh Meat produce right around the corner from me. So I hop in the car and head over! It's in the same parking lot as Salsa and Beer so finding a park is always tough especially on a weekend. That parking lot is a nightmare but once you get a park it's all good. I walked in and it's a very small shop with a cashier in the front, two small isles of produce and meat in the back. It seems like it's all locals because everyone was talking to, who I assume was Danny, in the back working with the guys cutting up the meat. When it came to my turn, I told him I'd never been here so he explained what they do, how they cut the meat, the type of meats they have and that he's been there for 30 years! He is an extremely nice and helpful Armenian guy who has completely won me over. There are a few local places I love supporting in my community and he'll definitely be one of them. The place was very clean and organized. There wasn't a lot of produce but just enough to get your essentials. As for the meat, I picked up a pound and a half of beef loin tenderloin steak at $25.99 a pound and two pounds of marinated chicken breast cut in half's. He told me the steak would melt in my mouth and he told no lies!! The steak was so tender and everyone was asking where I got it from. He made sure to let me know he can slice it up any which way I needed it to be. Overall, Danny's is the perfect spot to grab some local produce and meat if you want to support your local businesses. It always feels good helping out people in your community. Beware of the parking though. 5 out of 5 Afros OOOOO

My go to was the outside skirt stake, and I would usually buy all the packs that they had each time I went. On one occasion, they weighed the pack and then asked me if I wanted it trimmed and of course I wanted it trimmed. But after seeing the amount of fat that they took off and had already weighed and charged me for I wanted to see what that dollar amount was. So on my next visit, I opted not to get it trimmed and to do it myself at home. I weighed everything before, and after how much meat I received to how much fat was trimmed off, and it was staggering. I was getting charged $45 for something I couldn't use and didn't want. I proceeded to call a manager who said there was nothing he could do other than to reach out to corporate and that he would make it a priority and get back to me.

I parked and walked in the store and found out that there is a counter along one wall where you could order BBQ. I ordered a Brisket Burrito and I was asked if I wanted BBQ sauce with it. I should not have said "no". I bet my burrito would taste so much better with it. Without it, my Brisket Burrito is still good. The brisket was tender, juicy, smoky, perfectly seasoned. You could order trays of various BBQ in large amounts too. The person behind the counter suggested I call ahead to minimize the wait. I made the mistake one day of going without calling. I came in the afternoon, too late for lunch and too early for most diners, and found out the BBQ counter closed. Nooo!!!!!! I was counting on a tray of this as my dinner contribution. Lessons learned. By the way, free parking in their lot.

I had the Coconut Shrimp, and my partner had the Pork Belly. Both dishes were the highlight of what had been an exhausting day. Along with our entrées, we enjoyed a side salad and some fried rice. The Coconut Shrimp wasn't drowning in the sugary white sauce you often find at Asian restaurants. Instead, it was coated with coconut shavings and fried to perfection. The Pork Belly was crispy and delicious, right down to the last bite. The rice had hints of corn and pomegranate that added a little extra sweetness and a texture I wasn't familiar with but really enjoyed. The salad wasn't floating in a sea of dressing, either, as is so often the case at restaurants that seem to think excessive dressing is standard and necessary. The food was fresh, and Paul served as chef, server, busboy, and dishwasher. He ran the entire show from beginning to end and was always attentive to our needs. Afterward, we spoke with Paul about some of the other foods he had available to take home. We purchased a slice of red velvet cake, a slice of chocolate mousse cake, and some cookies. Overall, the entire experience was filled with positive energy and Coco D's is a place we will most certainly be returning to. Thank You!
