Delight in a Casual Brunch of Cornflake-Crusted French Toast

As a kid, any Sunday that began with church was immediately followed by breakfast at a restaurant. After praising the lord, my family and I would hop in our teal colored mini-van and head over to a place to eat. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it quickly became an event I looked forward to. Even as

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)

Gus’s BBQ – Keeping Legit BBQ in LA Since 1946

There are some things that can be fairly difficult to get in Los Angeles. Monogamy, free all day street parking, and great barbecue just to name a few. If you happen to have a loyal significant other, your car hasn’t moved in the last two days, and you have a delicious rack of ribs in

The Best Happy Hour Drinks and Eats from Magnolia House

There’s a glorious moment that happens every single weekday. It only takes sixty seconds for it to come into effect, but the instant it does your entire attitude changes. That time I’m referring to is when you’re finally able to clock out from work. The minute where it’s too early to leave then finally time

Dog Haus: The Best Wurst Food You’ll Ever Have

I used to be the type of person who wasn’t allergic to anything except working on the weekends and men attached to their mothers. Then one day I added another allergy to that list when I found I was allergic Kings Hawaiian bread. An unfortunate lesson I learned the hard way caused me to stop

Osawa in Pasadena Serves Small Plates with Big Taste

Dinner with friends has become a major part of my life. I love it because it’s an enjoyable few hours where I can catch up with people I’m close to. On this evening in particular I was meeting with an old coworker, Darin, at Osawa in Pasadena. Darin is a talented graphic designer I used

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

Crepe Studio in Pasadena

What’s the hardest thing to get when it’s 90+ degrees in LA? A spot at the rooftop pool at The Standard? Hell yes. But the real answer is ice cream. When it’s sweltering in the city and all you really want is the sweet taste of ice cream, get ready for a line out the

Nekter in Pasadena

I’m getting fat. All my life I’ve been fat mentally, but more recently it’s starting to become physical. My fatness reached an all new low (or high) last week when I gorged on four Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches for no reason other than “I do what I want”. I hope you read that in Cartman’s

Carmela Ice Cream in Pasadena

My driver’s license may show that I’m an adult, but I’m really not. Regardless of my age, I still do very childish things when I know better. I’m not immature, but I’m not-not immature. Yes, that double negative was necessary. One of my childish habits that I can’t break is eating ice cream in place
