Reminiscing on Holiday Pastries with Sidecar Doughnuts (Yes in January)
Remember the holidays? I know we’re nineteen days into 2017, but the holidays only happened a few weeks ago. If it were May and I was talking about Christmas, then maybe you could roll your eyes at me. Since it’s not, allow me to continue. For the most part, the holidays were great. The seasonal
Margo’s is the Latest Santa Monica Restaurant You Should Visit, Now
“I wonder if I look weird to everyone else in this restaurant.” That was the thought that ran through my mind as I sat alone, by myself, with no one at my table in Margo’s in Santa Monica. To the left of me was a table of women gabbing, to my right was a couple
True Food Kitchen Offers Simple and Charming Plates for the Holidays
If you can’t already tell, the holidays are right around the corner. Your neighbor has most likely overly decorated his front yard and you’re probably sick of hearing Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” on the radio. If those sentences describe you even slightly, then that’s unfortunate because I love all of it. I
Bread and Porridge Has a Brunch to Get You Out of Bed
If you don’t spend your Saturday morning rolling yourself into a burrito under your sheets, you’re missing out on the best activity to start the day. As much as I love spending an insane amount of time in bed, I equally love eating at the top of the morning. That might sound like a pair
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
Via Veneto in Santa Monica
A few days ago, I made a rookie mistake that I’m embarrassed about. Since this mistake happened at a restaurant I planned to review, I have to tell you about it. I figure if I can tell you the fun and exciting restaurant related news, then I should be able to tell you the weird
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
Shaka Shack Burgers in Santa Monica
Have you ever lost touch with a friend? Say, you and a friend used to work together, and then he got a better job and left. Suddenly you were alone at your hellmouth of a job with no one to make fun jokes with. But it was ok because you two still hung out. Then
Mercado in Santa Monica
I’ve always liked tacos–pretty much everyone does, especially around Cinco de Mayo. But I now like them even more thanks to the Downtown Santa Monica Taco Trek. Menu tastings at Border Grill and Copa d’ Oro offered great Mexican inspired dishes and drinks, and now I was at Mercado ready to see what their chef
Border Grill in Santa Monica
Last week I announced that I would do a Cinco de Mayo series highlighting Mexican restaurants that either have exciting dishes or are staples in the LA area. The first was Guisados and after them, I was ready to try the next restaurant. Too bad things didn’t go as smoothly. Instead, work got a hold
