At this point in my life, there are many things that I’m still not ready for. Kids? Oh hell no, I struggle to take care of myself. Marriage? Eh…I have a hard time committing to a weekly exercise regimen, let alone a man for the rest of my life. But one thing I’m always ready

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

Mrs. Fish in Downtown LA

I don’t think that I’m old, but I’m sure I act like I am. Throughout my college years and those after, I went to my share of house parties and clubs, but after a few years I grew out of it. I don’t know if it’s because my calves weakened from standing in too many

Keimani and I were sitting at our table and I was getting impatient. Not because they were taking long with our food, but because each second that I didn’t have my food was bringing on some sort of foodie separation anxiety. I saw myself slowly becoming a wreck when I moved our “number 14” sign

Latin Street Food Fights at Border Grill in Downtown LA

You know what everyone likes but won’t admit to liking? Fights. And I don’t mean a World Star Hip Hop style brawl. I’m talking about a fight between two groups where one claims glorious victory over the other. You’ll never see a girl turn to a guy on the elevator and say, “I love a good

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s Cookie and Cream Ice Blended

“Danielle, if you eat this the zipper on your skirt is going to burst.” That was me talking to myself one afternoon as I sat at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (TCBTL) in Downtown LA. I was meeting a few ladies and made plans to devour an ice blended. I had no problem devouring

Happy Hour at Border Grill in Downtown LA

You know how excited you get when you see exactly what you want on the menu? How about the burst of energy that runs through your body when you see the waitress walking with a tray of your food. “Oh, that’s mine right there!” Then she repeats your order as she places it in front

I have such a nice boss. I mean, the kind of boss that doesn’t yell, micromanage, or make you cut the crust off her kid’s sandwich. My favorite part about her is she gives us a nice amount of time off around the holidays. Take for instance 4th of July, today. Most of my old

Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill in Downtown LA

You know you’re pretty awesome when you’re invited to food events at Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill. I’d love to toot my own horn to that one, but my coworker got the invitation not to me. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve gone to some pretty great restaurants which I adore, but to be invited to

Gelateria Uli in Downtown LA

It’s June in LA and that means the temperature is rising quickly. It’s not end of July hot, but it’s definitely not middle of March cool.  That means if you’re going somewhere that requires being outdoors for extended periods of time, it better be worth it. My coworker and I underestimated to power of June
