Enjoy Carbonara Month at Casa Barilla Before It Disappears

Sometimes, one plate just isn’t enough. You may be asking why a restaurant blogger like myself would even consider the idea of having “one plate”, but every now and then I would like to ditch the sweat pants and button my jeans.

I Got High Eating at This Fancy Downtown LA Restaurant

As hard as I was trying to play it off, I was high. But let’s put some particulars to that. I wouldn’t say I was “hallucinating” high because I’ve been there and you don’t forget the time your dog finally spoke English. While I wasn’t that far gone I was definitely leaning towards the, “I’m

Momed and Other LA Restaurants Serve Up a Cocktail for a Cause

It doesn’t take long to fall in love with a restaurant. Or, at least it shouldn’t. Ideally, it should be easy: you either like it or you don’t, but there are usually components to the location that help you make the decision. Maybe a couple of cocktails, conversations with friends, and a couple of clicks

Sumo Dog in Koreatown Welcomes Jeremy Fall’s Latest Creation

[Reads description out loud] Bacon-wrapped pork sausage, with peanut butter mole, sambal-sesame salsa, pickled papaya, and wasabi furikake, topped with cilantro on a potato roll.

Michelob Ultra Unveils Its Latest Beer and It’s Pretty Close to Perfect

I’m not the biggest fan of beer. That’s probably not the best introductory sentence on a post about beer, but stay with me, it gets better. I’m not a fan of beer because I’ve found it to be pretty difficult to find a favorite since the only way to do so is through the process

Planned Parenthood LA’s “Food Fare” Brings Top Restaurants Together for a Great Cause

Planned Parenthood holds a special place in my heart for all the work they do in the communities they serve. Even more, Planned Parenthood holds a special place in my uterus for all the free birth control they’ve given me. As blunt and foolish as the second half of that truth may sound, it’s still

Rance’s Chicago Pizza Opens at USC Village and You Need to Get a Slice

I had been walking around the USC Village for about fifteen minutes in the rain and clearly I was lost. My bright rainbow colored umbrella going north across the village, then south, then west was probably telling to anyone seeing me make a circle that I had no clue where I was going. I was tempted

I Love Mr. Holmes Bakehouse and It’s Not Just Because of Their Pastries

I’ve been going back to Mr. Holmes Bakehouse a lot since they first opened and I don’t mind looking like a bit of a stalker. Peering through a window at an unsuspecting resident is never acceptable, but when it’s to an array of pastries and desserts one might not report it to the cops. In
