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
Habana in Costa Mesa Will Change the Way You See a Brunch Buffet
I feel like brunch buffets have a bad reputation; at least to me that is. Whenever I think of them I immediately have memories of the typical buffet housed in casinos or the one whose name rhymes with “dome down toupee”. Wherever they’re located, they seem to have the same off putting aesthetic. There’s the
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
Rapper Nas and John Seymour Bring NYC’s Sweet Chick to Los Angeles
Last night, rapper Nas and business partner John Seymour brought their New York restaurant, Sweet Chick, to Fairfax Avenue. Arguably the greatest rapper of all time and the co-founder held a private party at the restaurant to introduce media, family, and friends to the new restaurant.

Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern in Santa Monica Has Something Good for Everyone
I can’t predict the future, but something tells me this summer is going to be a hot one. Maybe I’m merely reflecting on past summers where temperatures at 8am were close to ninety degrees, but I would bet that 2017 will have a similar summer. With that in mind, I plan on spending many heat-stricken
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
Explore the Beautiful Menu at Vinoteca in the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles
The last time I dined at the Four Seasons Hotel was also my first time. I was at Il Becco at the Four Seasons in Mexico City and the dinner was impeccable from the moment I sat down to the second they had to drag me out of the restaurant to go home. I get
Get a Look at The Phoenix’s Menu Items from Salad to Steak
Bars are nothing new to a heavily populated city, and Los Angeles is no exception. Having a handful of bars to choose from within LA can make the decision to find the right location to spend the evening a difficult one. Should you go somewhere in Downtown? Should you go to one near the beach
Drago Ristorante Serves Dishes as Beautiful as its Interior Design
If two years ago you asked me how I would navigate restaurant blogging, I would have let a nervous smile creep across my face, shrug, and said “Hopefully I’ll figure it out”. When I started blogging about restaurants, I had an idea of how I should go about it, but it was all too new
Cocktails and a Blue Cheese Burger from Plan Check in Downtown LA
When it comes to rain in Los Angeles, we Angelenos often react to it like it’s the end of the world. No one knows how to drive and people look out their windows in fear of what’s falling from the sky. “Is this the end?” a terrified housewife whispers as she clutches to her pearls.
