Plan to be there early but not friggen' 6am. I'm collecting, not fishing.

Yeah 6 a.m. seems a bit drastic. Can anyone suggest a Pasadena local mom and pops style place to get some good breakfast? I have never been to Pasadena before. Thanks.

I don't do breakfast very often, but I have been to Marston's. It is pretty good, but expect to wait for a table. It gets pretty packed in there at times.

I'm pulling out the stops for this show and just forsaking sleep all together!

6am doesn't seem so early now, does it?

I'm thinking about driving down Friday night so hopefully I can get in line early. I really want some PK and Grody goodies.

6AM????

I'm ALREADY in line - lightweights!

Carl, save me a spot. I'm on my way from Oklahoma. I will bring breakfast. Give me about 24 hours. See you soon!!

I'm not a so cal boy so where is a good place to eat near the convention?

Lines are so passé . . .

Time to secure an Exhibitor Pass

Are you looking for a breakfast, lunch, or dinner place?

^Mike you need to write up an itinerary for all our food options.

Amy's response to this on twitter was Dcon here we come. Hope that confirms these are for Dcon.

GIMMEEE!!!!! I can't wait for this event!!!!

yes.

ok, these aren't in Pasadena but if your in LA for the weekend they are worth the journeys.
If you want American I cant tell you to much but if your seeking Thai, Vietnamese, Philipino, Indian or other I may be able to point out some good spots.

In Pasadena and surrounding areas there are quite a few amazing places to eat.

Roscoes house of chicken and waffles.

Din Tai Fung. It's in the city of Arcadia which is the city next to Pasadena. One of the best place for dumplings.

Daikokuya. My favorite Ramen Place. Located in DTLA in Little Tokyo.

In-n-Out. A staple among the California burger joints. If you are coming in from out of town, I highly suggest going here to get a burger. Many locations throughout California.

That's all I can think of right now. I have been to all of these places and recommend each one. IF you are looking for a place to just get drinks, I can suggest quite a few drinking places as well.

Not to start a food war but 888 is average at best when it comes to dim sum. Great for dinner though, especially if you want to suck the eggs out of the guts of giant prawn.

Bakery...it has to be Sweet Lady janes. Nothing compares. But you will be treated with genaral rudeness.

I guess I don't know my dim sum. I also like New Capital dim sum, if that tells you anything. I just don't like spending too much money on dim sum since we usually get tons of food. Also a couple friends I goto dim sum with are pretty frugal.

Ahh cool, seriously get to Elite some day. Last Christmas was only $100 for 8 people. Thing about Elite is all dim sum is made to order. It doesn't come around on cart getting cold or soaking up the bunsen burner as an after taste. Of the 13 differnet Dim Sum spots I have hit repeatedly Elite always shines best.

And I love cheap too. Give me a drive through fish burrito at Roberto's and I'm in heaven.

Nice. I'll check out Elite sometime.

i'm not 21 yet, but my brother bought me a burger and sweet potato's fries from this place. it was really good.
