Have a Healthy Dinner of Salad, Pasta, and More at Napa Valley Grille in West LA

Vegetarian and healthy plates are following me. Not on a stalker level, but I’m seeing them more often. Lately I’ve been visiting restaurants and while looking through the menu I find myself opting for healthier plates. Burgers have been replaced with salads and steaks have been substituted with quinoa power bowls. I don’t know if

Wanderlust Creamery Wants You to Travel the World Through Ice Cream

Sometimes ice cream is just what it is and that’s fine. There are times when you walk into an ice cream shop, peer into the glass case, choose a flavor, and what you get is simply what you asked for. But then there are times when ice cream does more than you expected. It can

Bardonna in Silver Lake is a Perfect Getaway Lunch Spot

Bardonna in Silver Lake was cuter than I expected. Walking up to the restaurant I passed it once, ok twice. It was a simple oversight on my part, but there was no signage on the exterior. Once I saw the “3206” stickers on the top window I figured I found my destination. There were two

See How Wild Living Foods Makes Healthy Food Taste Incredible

Yesterday, I was standing in Wild Living Foods looking over their menu unsure of what I got myself into. I was a bit perplexed because everything on the menu seemed so healthy and fresh. In no way do I want you to think that I seek out restaurants whose food is high in fat or

BTS: Recording “Started a Cleanse” at Truth Studios

I can’t lie, recording a song for the first time was pretty scary. It was a little scarier than running out of gas on the freeway, but not as scary as finding Chucky under your bed. It was really, somewhere in the middle. Growing up I’ve parodied songs, but never did anything with them. Whether

“I just want to be happy.” he said. The sentence stopped me in my tracks as I was taking photos of dishes at Flower Child in Santa Monica. It was a hard sentence to hear from anyone, but coming from an older man discussing his divorce, it struck a chord. I have no real understanding

The Rooster Truck Has the Breakfast Burrito of Your Dreams

I think the universe wants to make me fall in love with breakfast. I say that because in the last few weeks I’ve found myself at tables being served breakfast food more than anything else. In no way am I rejecting the sign being delivered on plates early in the morning, but I am saying

Drink Houz Wants to Make Your Breakfast Better, Even on a Monday

It may be strange to say this as a restaurant blogger, but I’m not fond of breakfast. I’ve mentioned that I don’t really care about breakfast or brunch fairly often and I really only eat it when I’m out at a restaurant. If I’m at home, chances are breakfast is an over-boiled egg. A day
