The band plays heavy metal the way that it's meant to be played with heavy grooves and honest delivery. Their self-titled Emotional Syphon Recordings debut has proved one of the best metal releases of 2007. When they're not slaying crowds across the country, guitarist Jamie Teissere enjoys Southern California's finest Mexican food and sushi. He shared his favorites with Citysearch. en Copyright 2007 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:07:00 -0800 http://images.citysearch.com/roundup/ac/c5/42612r1.jpg http://sidewalk.citysearch.com/roundup/42612 Citysearch Editors, Los Angeles "Their duck tacos are to die for! It's nice to go to a place that brings out random dishes one at a time and you can eat as much or as little of each dish for all the same cost."

It's as good as places like Nobu, but less than half the cost."

In fact, I just got back from there before writing this, and I have some leftovers in the fridge if you want to come by and give it a try."

Also you can always catch the UFC fights for free which works out great when on tour."

They have the best chicken tawook and hummus on the planet."

This Mexican restaurant also has some of the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. I don't know what they put in the beans, but this is the place where people that hate beans will most likely love them."

I love eating there and I've never had a bad meal at Tracy's."

I've been eating here with my dad since I was a kid. This place has been around long before me even and the food hasn't changed a bit."

It's a nice thin crust pizza that isn't all greasy and soggy. This pizza is full of flavor and has nice crisp to the crust."

This spot has been around since the first cheesesteak, and it's open 24 hours a day. So when you are looking for a good late night snack, and you're in Philly, this is your spot. Make sure you get the squeezy cheese. It's so good on your sandwich when packing a nice buzz."
