Restauration: A Great Lunch Stop After Your Long Drive from Anywhere

I really love food, like a lot. If that’s not clear from the last 18 pages of food posts then I’m not doing a good job. If it is apparent how infatuated I am with meals of any sort then allow me to take it to another level: I’ll drive long distances for food. I

Is Morton’s $28 Lunch Burger Really Worth Ditching Work?

Yes, yes it is. But let’s start at the beginning. Every now and then I look at my one-hour lunch break and I think, “What am I supposed to do with that?” Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful to even have it considering I’ve held jobs that offered a whopping thirty minutes. That in some

Fleming’s Steakhouse: Where Dinner is So Good, You’ll Never Want to Leave

If you’re already familiar with Fleming’s Steakhouse and Wine Bar, then not much can be said about the restaurant that will be any different from what you probably already know. If I may take a guess, I can assume that your perspective of Fleming’s is that they have impeccable food and beautiful interior. Both of

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

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

“We have all of the specifics for your dinner, ma’am” said the host. I wanted to respond with “Rodger that”, but this wasn’t Mission Impossible. Instead, this was dinner; and not just any dinner. This was a course-after-course, lavish, dining engagement at Esterel in Beverly Hills. This dinner would be exceptional and if I choose

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

“Come with me and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination”. You know that song right? It’s “Pure Imagination” from, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It’s also the song that played in my mind when the waitress, Lainey, placed the first plate of food in front of me. The sound of Gene Wilder’s
