The Smell of Home

So there is a new restaurant on 9th Ave called Lime.
.
It is Mexican.
.
And buy that I mean LA Mexican. For example I had the East LA Burrito with Seasoned Ground Beef (I could have had chicken), salsa, rice and sauce and it was great.
.
But best, and I know this sounds odd, was the bag of chips.
.
It was a lunch bag full of greasy home made tortilla chips fresh out of the fryer. You know, the grease coming thru the bag.
.
And you opened it up and took a big whiff and it smelled just like home.
.
Seriously. I teared up a little. Nothing smells like LA to me more than a big bag of tortillas chips - freshly delivered. Homemade! (Not like Dorritos or something).
.
It was heaven.
