Restauration: A Great Lunch Stop After Your Long Drive from Anywhere
Restauration: A Great Lunch Stop After Your Long Drive from Anywhere
I really love food, like a lot. If that’s not clear from the last 18 pages of food posts then I’m not doing a good job. If it is apparent how infatuated I am with meals of any sort then allow me to take it to another level: I’ll drive long distances for food. I
The Search for the Perfect Burger at Belcampo Meat Co.
Over the years, I’ve been in pursuit of many things: the perfect career, a normal boyfriend, and a winning lottery ticket. While not all of the aforementioned have come to fruition, one pursuit I failed to mention that has led to positive results is my search for the perfect burger. With little concern to price,
International Eats: Il Becco at the Four Seasons is the Epitome of Exceptional Dining
I can’t get Il Becco out of my head. It’s been a few months since my trip to Mexico City and I can’t get the restaurant off of my mind. Not that I want to, I just find it interesting that a restaurant I dined in during my vacation still has such a hold on
Is Morton’s $28 Lunch Burger Really Worth Ditching Work?
Yes, yes it is. But let’s start at the beginning. Every now and then I look at my one-hour lunch break and I think, “What am I supposed to do with that?” Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful to even have it considering I’ve held jobs that offered a whopping thirty minutes. That in some
Stick Your Fork into These Three Plates from Goldilocks
I don’t think Nelly has had a legitimate radio hit since 2005, yet Goldilocks in Carson is playing “Ride With Me” like it just hit #1 on the Billboard chart. They’re also playing Ne-Yo and Ashanti. I’d love to say the music was part of a Throwback Thursday or a Flashback Friday playlist, but it
True Food Kitchen Brings Beautiful and Healthy Plates to Pasadena
I call the city of Altadena, CA home. It’s where my family and I grew up and even at my age, I haven’t moved out. The neighboring city, Pasadena, is where I find myself spending a decent amount of my free time. In my explorations of the city that is so close to home (literally)
Mint Leaf Continues to Serve Delicious Indian Food in Pasadena
How do you know when you really like something? Take dating for example. Maybe you know you really like that person when you return their phone call in a decent amount of time. And then there’s your job. You probably like it when you show up for it day after day and sometimes early. Well,
Umami Burger on Broadway Debuts New Dishes and an Exclusive Burger!
Umami Burger has been a restaurant that I love since they first opened in LA back in 2009. Friends and I would hit up the restaurant so often that our bank statements started to look like nothing but receipts from Umami. Since discovering their “fifth taste” style of burgers, I’ve found myself exploring their menu
Celebrate National Cheeseburger Day with Eats from Figat7th!
Today, September 18, is one of the best holidays: it’s National Cheeseburger Day. While I love Jesus, Christmas isn’t my favorite day. Thanksgiving comes in pretty strong and Super Bowl Sunday would be a contender, but it’s not even considered a pretend holiday. Since National Cheeseburger Day has the unofficial holiday title attached to it,
Escape to the Restaurant Oasis That is Herringbone
It was Saturday morning and I was in a really good mood. It may have been the fact that the weather was ideal, that I found perfect street parking, or Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” coming out of my car radio and the thought of Terry Crews in White Chicks played in my mind. Whatever
