I've lived in Los Angeles for 26 years and I've only been to the valley twice. Once, in '79 I went to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour in Sherman Oaks. I ordered The Zoo...or was it the Pig's Trough...no matter...all I know is I ate ice cream for what seemed like the better part of an afternoon. Then I got real sick. It was worth it though. But when Farrell's closed up shop, I sort of took it personally, and I vowed never to return to the valley again.
I held out for twenty six years before breaking that adolescent promise last week. Firefly was worth the wait in every way...a veritable Farrell's for big kids, minus the maraschinos and the jawbreakers. One look at the hunky manager, however, provided enough eye-candy to satisfy even my most ravenous sweet-tooth. Mmm...mmmm...good!!! That's all I can say.
