Versailles #6

I just got the 1/2 garlic chicken from Versailles Cuban Restaurant on Venice Blvd. It sure brings back memories. I used to come and eat here all the time while a student at UCLA. A bunch of us would come in, and while walking to our table, each of us would order the same dish: #6. I think it was $6.99 back then. Today, the price is $15.99. Tastes the same though. I’ve visited a few times after graduation. There used to be a restaurant in Manhattan Beach but that closed. I remember having a craving for #6 one night while I was married. We were living in Brea so my ex and I got into the car, drove almost an hour to eat garlic chicken, and then drove home. Glorious.

The only sad part is that I used to be able to eat the entire plate by myself. Now, both my parents and I could barely eat all of it. Old age, I guess.
