Chick-fil-A Opens at I-10 and La Cienega And You Should Visit Now
If you had met me a year ago you would have known a version of me that was living through extremely dark days. I was working two difficult jobs that netted me very little and I was in a tough relationship with someone I cared about. While I was sinking into sadness, one day I

Necco’s Kaiseki Bento Box Contains Deliciously Creative Food for You to Discover
I’m a burger kind of girl. I lean on the meaty, greasy, dripping down your arm, “Is Danielle eating pure fat?” kind of girl. I think I do a good job at hiding it, particularly on first dates. However, once the third date comes along, I let my true self come out and at that

Scallops, Halibut, Pork Tenderloin and More at Nook Bistro
I like to think that I know great restaurants. Whether it’s a popular or an unknown location, I quietly pat myself on the back at the thought that I can help a person find a good place to eat. The same goes for dishes. “Escargot? No don’t get it here, it’s still moving.” Every now

Primo’s Donuts Wants to Help You Celebrate National Donut Day
Am I the only one who thinks National Donut Day should really be a federal holiday? I know I may be a bit biased to food holidays because I like food and I equally like getting paid days off from work, but I think that’s fair. Eating donuts brings me the same happiness as opening

When it comes to tacos in Los Angeles, there’s an unlimited selection of places to get your fix. You can go to any Mexican restaurant and order a couple, get a few from the guy outside of Union Station, and there’s about a 150% chance that at least one of your friends has the number

Simpang Asia in Los Angeles
I’ve never had Indonesian food before, actually I’m not sure if I’ve ever really thought about Indonesian food before. However, when I got the chance to check out Simpang Asia who specializes in the cuisine, I thought this was the perfect time. I’d get to experience a different type of food in an authentic restaurant,
