Massimo Bottura Talks About the Song of His Career, Food Waste, the Dish He Hates, and More at Food Bowl

Last month, the Los Angeles Times decided to take over the entire month of May and host a variety of events throughout the Los Angeles area and its neighboring cities. For thirty-one days Food Bowl attendees could partake in various dinners, panel discussions, and the four-day festival: Night Market. I was excited to attend the

Tribal Café is a Charming Getaway Restaurant You Need in Your Life

You’ve probably passed this restaurant and didn’t even know it. Might have been parked at a red light and never looked through your window to see it. If that’s your scenario when it comes to Tribal Café that sits just outside of Downtown LA, then you’re not alone since that was me too. I drove

Is Howlin Ray’s Seriously Worth the 1+ Hour Wait?

I can no longer stand in lines. I will not stand in a line to get into the DMV, a concert, and not to get into a restaurant. I don’t care what waits at the end of the line, I cannot do it. It’s not because I’m impatient, but after years of standing in line

Chef Josef Centeno Makes Lentils Exciting in a Four-Course Dinner at P.Y.T. in Downtown LA

Does anyone get excited by the idea of eating lentils? I’m pretty sure the answer is no. However if your day becomes brighter by the thought of them then I question the type of hobbies you have in your life. I’m not judging you though. Personally, lentils don’t instill any degree of excitement quietly within

Loit in Downtown LA is the Perfect Place to Grab Coffee, Work, or Step Up Your Pinterest Photos

Sunday’s are made for relaxing. At least that’s what The Commodore’s would have you believe if their song, “Easy”, was coming through your speakers. On this specific Sunday the weather was overcast with a light breeze blowing through the hair of men and the dresses of women. The streets surrounding Loit, a new clothing store

Everything You Need to Know Before Going to the Museum of Ice Cream in LA

Since the beginning of April, Angelenos have been anticipating the opening of the Museum of Ice Cream. The New York based pop-up museum came west to Downtown Los Angeles and opened its doors on April 22nd. The interactive museum has a handful of rooms that are brightly colored and themed with ice cream and candy

Get Your Afternoon and Late Night Taco Fix at Mezcalero in Downtown LA

Downtown Los Angeles isn’t shy to welcoming new bars and restaurants. Within the big little city places have closed, moved, and returned but what always seems to remain is the frequency of eateries opening their doors for the first time. I love to see a restaurant wipe down the counters and welcome in new guests

Find Yourself at Downtown LA’s Best Hidden Bar, Birds and Bees

You know you’re getting old when going to the club or a loud bar is no longer appealing. I realized I was starting to age while I was in a club and shouted to a friend, “I think it’s too loud in here!” After that night, I didn’t go to the club as much as

Belle Belle’s Cue Brings Legit Barbecue to Downtown LA

Barbecue isn’t new to Downtown LA. However, good barbecue is. With fewer barbecue joints than you can count on your hand, it’s safe to say that the central city of Los Angeles doesn’t have a wide selection. What’s even more disappointing is within that handful is only one solid restaurant. For a while now The

Downtown LA Gets Another Doughnut and Fried Chicken Shop with Astro

Fried chicken and doughnuts (or donuts if you’re not feeling so fancy) is such a beautiful combination that almost seems like the two were destined to be. The dynamic duo is something amazing like milk and cookies or the Virgin Mary and her donkey. Whoever brought those items together gets nothing but credit and acclaim
