Happy 4th of July everybody! Things are changing pretty quickly and I'm doing my best to manage it all, but I'll have an update for clarification on the future of this account soon.

Sometimes I wish I had a shop with a chalk board where I'd write the name of the daily special, and it's always a dad joke like in Bob's Burgers. But until then, here's my pulled pork sandwich!
Some of you might recognize this as the thing that I delivered it to your doors last year. A handful of you might recognize this because the sauce is full of cilantro and I might have mixed up your orders because I was rushing out, late, to deliver these, leaving you with mouthfuls of soap-scented disappointment. For that I'm sorry, but for the rest, thank you for your awesome feedback! It was really encouraging to know that this sandwich was well-received by people who were able to eat cilantro.
Now without further ado, I hope everyone else gets a chance to watch this, and enjoy the video!

I currently do not have plans to operate through the rest of March, which means I'm going to have time to edit and upload at least a few more videos this month and collaborate on projects. Hit me up if you're in the LA area and have questions about working together on something.

In March 2020, when businesses were shuttered by the pandemic, I found comfort in eating this sandwich. It was the first thing that I put on the menu of my e...

It's been almost a year since Covid shut us all down, and that's when I decided, like a crazy person, to start my own online takeout menu. Many for the stories! I'm back with the Pulled Pork Sandwich, and a few other favorites. I have a feeling there are gonna be some new favorites this time around.

New video, link in bio!
I nearly lopped off someone's fingers because this knife fell apart in my hand when I held it for the first time, so restoring it back to working condition was super gratifying. Matter of fact, I'm not-so-secretly hoping to get more of these kinds of projects in the future... But for now, here's another YouTube video! The editing on this was only as good or bad as the camera angles that I absentmindedly had, so please remember:
I am not a videographer.
Okay, no more excuses, please enjoy 😂

Strawberry Lemongrass Cheesecake is on YouTube for your viewing pleasure!
Click the link in my profile to go to my channel, and let me know what you think of the video! The jam takes hours to make, but it was so worth it in the end, as you'll see in the video. If you try to make this cheesecake, show me how it turns out by tagging me 🔥👌
Thank you to the people who let me use their images in this video!

This video was a long time coming, but it's finally here! The secret recipe to my Strawberry Lemongrass Cheesecake is now live and online for your drooling pleasure.
Why post my recipes when other chefs are so guarded about theirs? I have a hunch that once you see the amount of work involved in the food that graces your table, I'm sure you'll understand why I keep doing what I'm doing, and maybe even taste the effort that goes into all of my creations. And I'm a big believer in the thought that other cooks should do the same, for ours is a dwindling craft...
Oh, and apparently I'm socially obligated to say, "please Like & Subscribe if you enjoyed this video", but in this case I think you'll actually, genuinely enjoy it!

Huge thanks to my friends who've let me tag them in this video. More on these amazing people in the description below!Strawberries are delicious, and lemongr...

I present the Valentine's--and... month of February--menu items for 2021! Steaks, veggies, and a Basque Burnt Cheesecake made with passion fruit from my garden to your table. Swipey-swipe to check em out, and DM me or to place your pre-orders to pick up or get it delivered on Saturdays and Sundays!

Update for 2021!!!
My menu is now simpler, with a focus on higher quality smoked meat and accompaniments. I couldn't keep calling the business "Smoky Pan" without the use of some smoke now, could I?
I'm serving the LA area on weekends in January, so if you're curious, send me a message on IG or the lil' page and we'll arrange a pickup and delivery schedule.

Please feel free to place your orders by Wednesday, 12/30 and we'll arrange the pickup or delivery dates and times. I hope you're all staying safe and getting ready for a healthy new year together! Enjoy!

Humble Berry Crumble, on the Christmas menu to round out your dinner! It's piping hot and ready for a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top 🤤(ice cream not included).
Click to see the menu and place your pre-orders! Last day to place orders is Monday 12/21 so I can get to workin on this scrumptious dessert, and more.
And again, because of Facebook's STUPID rules on pages, I can't post videos and images at the same time. But I can on Instagram. They own Instagram. Let that sink in.

How it's made: Pulled Pork, Smoked Edition.
Uh... Yeah don't worry about the noise at the end of the first video. I totally didn't drop my lighter because of that victory dance.
Christmas menu is up! Unfortunately, due to Facebook's stupid uploading rules, I can't upload images and video at the same time, so move on over to my Instagram at instagram.com/smokypan if you wanna see the menu!
Or check out the post I made before this for more gratuitous food p**n shots, plus the menu. I don't know your life.

18/12/2020

Hey SGV, my Christmas menu is up! I'm gonna follow up this post with some videos in the coming days! In the meantime, check out my Instagram at for some foodp**n video teases.
The smoked tritip goes great with the chimichurri sauce and roasted potatoes, and the seasonal winter salad pairs perfectly with the plump pulled pork, which works fantastically for sandwiches and tacos the next day.
These items can each be ordered a la carte. Please send me a DM or email me at [email protected] to arrange a pickup/delivery location and time before Monday 12/21

Not to spoil all the best content I have but the last day I can take pre-orders for Thanksgiving is November 20th. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about the Thanksgiving menu!

18/11/2020

Here's an itemized version of my 2020 Thanksgiving Menu with the price breakdown of each dish! Plus a sneak peak at the Signature Smoky Beef, smoked to a nice medium rare. (Added in the comments, so follow this thread for the good stuff!)

By popular demand, I'm bringing back the Not Truffle Pasta, for $14!
I think this will be one of the permanent menu items if and when I eventually run a brick and mortar. Well, let me know what you think, if it's good enough I'm just gonna start mass producing this little beast 🤤

Send me a message here on facebook.com/smokypancooking or on Instagram and we'll arrange your order date and time for pickup.
Downtown LA people, it looks like I'll be dropping things off individually for you because I couldn't find free and clear parking. Don't tell the others, they'll get jealous.

Also, an update about Arcadia, new pickup location! Check out the post!!!

28/10/2020

I'm cutting it close with the timing but here's the menu for the next couple weekends!!! I'm experimenting with hickory smoked pecans in a mini smoker/grill that I've repaired. Anyway it's a long story and I'll cut to the chase: I'm thinking about doing the drop-off in downtown LA by the Walt Disney Concert Hall but I'm almost certain to get ticketed. Anybody have a better idea for downtown LA? I'm taking suggestions 🤔😂

27/10/2020

Planning dinner? Let me handle that this weekend, so you can enjoy Halloween! Note: I may or may not appear in costume for the Pasadena drop-off this Saturday 😬
Menu is coming tonight once I get inventory all squared away. Help me find a common area in downtown LA and I'll get the menu up even sooner!!!

This is like my 99th attempt because my app is buggy on the Pixel 3. If anybody at Facebook App knows what this wizardry and deepf**kery is, please reach out and I'll send diagnostic data. Meanwhile:
New items available! Menu, prices, and delivery area at the end of this post!!! Swipety swipe or clickity clack!
Also, if this doesn't post automatically to the page, I'm gonna be pi**ed.
1. Autumn roll, with peanut satay sauce.
2. Vietnamese lasagna. Selected herbs and spices with lemongrass pork and beef meatballs in a spicy sauce.
3. Candied Yams Tartlet. Two types of yams with boozy blueberries really hits the spot.
Thanks to for taste testing the Candied Yams Tartlet.

Hi everyone!
After much deliberation and a decently good sample size that I've been collecting from you all for the last few months, I've come to the hard decision that I need to reorganize the way I've been cooking for you all.
Short version: I'm taking orders for private events again, with customizable meals for your party! Effective immediately and until further notice :)
Send me a message if you'd like to plan your next event with me!

18/09/2020

Swipe to see what these menu items look like all dolled up and ready to eat.
Last call: South Bay, you're pretty active so I'm gonna try to keep up. Huge thanks to everyone who's placed orders for Friday. Any other takers? I'm opening up same-day pre-orders until 1pm Friday!

Also: after 9/18, I'm heading out of town. Normal operations will resume 9/25!

14/09/2020

Well that happened. Okay, I asked, and you answered. So I'm changing the name of the dessert to something simpler.

Introducing the new permanent dessert on the menu:
The new Humble Berry Crumble.
-- Because I was humbled by the fact that I can't just name drop a protected identity to hint at the ingredients.

Rosemary, Berries, and Lemongrass come together to form a crunchy, aromatic berry crumble that's anything but humble, and with a nice crunch to boot. Hope you like it! Get your pre-orders in soon, because I'll be out of town this Saturday through Monday, but I'll still be delivering to the West side on Thursday and the South Bay on Friday!

14/09/2020

UPDATE:
This dessert has been renamed the "Humble Berry Crumble", for a variety of reasons. It's got rosemary, lemongrass, and berries!

Back to the original post below:

Hey everyone it's Victor from Smoky Pan.

I'm going to be out of town from Saturday 9/19 to Monday 9/21, so I won't be delivering to SGV and Glendale as planned for this coming weekend.
I will still be cooking and delivering to the other neighborhoods listed in my... uh... list. Ahem. But Friday in South Bay will be the last one this week! Get your pre-orders in while there's still time!

In the meantime, I'm adding a new permanent dessert to the menu: The ludicrously aromatic little 'Mary Berry On 'Grass, a humble little rosemary and berry crumble with lemongrass. It's got a not-so-humble punch-you-in-the-nose aroma and flavor and I'm proud to add this to the menu at $6/slice. Hope you like it as much as I did! Pre-order yours today to get it delivered to your nearest drop-off spot. Check out the rest of the menu for more!

After next Monday, my schedule will resume.

Thanks for following! I'm looking forward to any of your replies!

Also, does anybody know if I can get sued for using Mary Berry's name, when it's really an abbreviation for "Rosemary Berry"? That'd be good to know.

13/09/2020

Hope everybody is staying safely away from the fires this weekend. If you have to go outside, please wear a thicker mask and stay hydrated. Now onto the update:

To improve the quality of the food, I'm picking common dropoff spots where you can all come and find me. These will usually be large, open parking lots, and I'll be there waiting for you to come and pick up your orders.
I'm also tightening up the menu so I can really crush the orders and get them to you all fresh off the line, so stay tuned for that! If this works out, I'm keeping the hot new menu items in place, and if not, then I'm adjusting it as always.

Please let me know if you have any questions about my new system. I know it'll take some getting used to.
Effective Monday, September 14 2020, this schedule will stay in place until further notice. I've listed the pickup schedule below.

These locations and menu items are subject to change, but we'll adjust things as we get a feel for them!
Oh and I'll have pictures of the new items on Sunday night :D

Okay, bad news for y'all. I'm taking Crepe Cake off the menu. It took me 3 hours to make this batch from start to finish, so if you already ordered one, I'll honor that, but I'm not taking any new orders for it.

Please double check your orders with me so I can ensure delivery of your crepe cake with your meal. Thank you for your understanding!!!

Smoky Pan draws the line here.

I wanna start this post by saying thank you to all your support over the weekend and I hope you all had a safe and relaxing Labor Day. I didn't expect to see the number of orders that I've been seeing this week and it's made me rethink my menu and service model for the better. The picture of the menu that I've uploaded to this post is still available until Monday! That said, I'll put up the new menu in a separate post tomorrow, with more details to follow. Stay hungry and stay safe out there, Los Angeles.

Now as far as service changes go, also starting on Monday I'm going to limit my service area to specific days and locations to keep the quality up. I'll take pre-orders up to midnight daily for the next day, and deliver from 6:30PM - 8PM. This way, we can make sure the quality of your food is as fresh as possible when you get it!
And if you're ever in the SGV on my SGV days and wanna do a pick up, stop by and say hi! I LOVE meeting people!--to the chagrin of everybody who's ever worked the line with me in my restaurant career :P

Made a new menu, and kept a few classics. Everything else on the menu may be new, but I decided to keep the Not Truffle Pasta and the Lemongrass Pork Chop as two of my signature dishes so you'll know it's a Smoky Pan menu.
