Stout Burgers and Beer in Hollywood
I’ve been to Stout Burgers before. I’ve gone a few times with friends and a few other times were on dates. I’ve been to the restaurant so many times that it eventually became my go-to spot for first dates. Reason being, it’s in a well populated area so I can quickly disappear in a crowd
Big D’s Burgers in Whittier
I was standing at the hostess desk asking the waitress, Jen, if I could have a table for two. Looking around at the very small dining area, I had a feeling that would take a while. With an expression that blended optimism and skepticism, she told me that the wait would be about 20 minutes.
Magnolia House in Pasadena (A Year Later)
Magnolia House was dark. Not the creepy, “who just touched my elbow” dark. More like the “I’ve had a long day and the dimness of this place is relaxing my life” dark. It was exactly what I needed. As my body began to calm down from work and traffic, I took a moment to walk
Slapfish in Brea
When it comes to this food blogger life, my greatest problem isn’t what to order but trying not to order everything. That was the case yesterday as I stared at the menu of Slapfish. The popular seafood restaurant opened a new location in Brea, and I was previewing their menu with a handful of foodies
Gudetama at Plan Check in Downtown LA
“Turn that frown upside down, Gudetama, you’re the life of the party!” Those words of encouragement didn’t do much to put Gudetama in a peppy mood. It was probably because he knew we were all going to take a bite out of the little yolk. It was true, myself and a number of foodies were
Chomp Eatery in Santa Monica
When friends and family come into town, I like to show them a good time. You may be thinking that I give them a great city tour to Angels Flight, the Hollywood Sign, and then for a drive down Pacific Coast Highway. If that’s where your mind went then I’d tell you to pump your
The Black Sheep in Downtown LA
TJ and I were ten minutes into our walk to The Black Sheep in Downtown LA and we were lost. Not just a little lost, more like we don’t have a Thomas Guide in 1994 lost. I thought I had GPS’d my way into this gastropub, but clearly I didn’t do a good enough job.
Bottega Louie in Downtown LA
TJ and I were off to a very bad start. Sure, part of it may have been my fault but I highly doubt it. My annoyance was rapidly accelerating to a sharp level 10 because I was starving and TJ was indecisive about what he wanted to eat. I didn’t care where we went, I
Trencher in Echo Park
Once in a while, I struggle to find something for lunch. There may be five to ten restaurants around, but my gut might be so indecisive that I can’t pick a place (or even a cuisine) to eat. This happened yesterday before lunch. Although I work just outside of Downtown LA and have plenty of
Magnolia House in Pasadena
If you’re not too familiar with the restaurant scene in Pasadena, you may think Old Town is the only place to get a good plate. You’re wrong, and here’s why. Yes, Colorado Boulevard is home to great restaurants like 1810 and Mi Piace, but there are other streets with eateries for you to explore and
