Get Familiar with the Chef-Prepared Korean Cuisine of SMT LA

In the age of coronavirus, it takes a lot to get me out of the house. If the request isn’t for work or someone I care to see, then there’s a good chance that I’ll stay home rather than to venture out. The one remaining exception is and always will be for food. While I’m

What You Shouldn’t Order from Hollywood Burger

Dear Brian, I wanted to write to you because in the last few weeks I visited the restaurant where you’re a team leader, Hollywood Burger. The two times I stopped in, I noticed that my first experience was exactly like the second, and vice versa. In most cases, that type of consistency would be beneficial

Wildcraft in Culver City

I think it’s about time that I stop having business meetings at restaurants. Seriously, this isn’t working in my favor. The last few meetings I’ve had, regardless of the topic, started off well, turned into a blur, and then ended on a good (yet confusing) note. It wasn’t until my brunch at Wildcraft in Culver City

Glass Door in San Diego

Dear Chef Carlos, This sucks. It’s never fun to give bad news, but I think it’s important to do so because it could lead to improvements. Please understand, the reason I didn’t say all of this while I was in the restaurant was because it was extremely busy the day of my visit. There was

Cookin Thyme in Hawthorne

Hey Chef Jen, This past weekend I had the chance to eat at your restaurant, Cookin Thyme, unfortunately I didn’t have good experience. I understand that you’re an experienced catering chef, but that you have a small restaurant with limited operating hours. It may not be easy to work around those limitations, but there were

B’ivrit in Silver Lake Gives You Vegan Israeli Food You’ll Want Right Now

The surge of the Coronavirus is greatly impacting the way businesses interact with consumers. What would normally be a restaurant visit starting with a smile and a handshake has now pivoted into curbside pick-up with bright eyes and a wave. While brick and mortar restaurants are primarily the ones being affected this way (including mounting

Hey, Worldwide Tacos From HBO’s “Insecure”: You Guys are Full of Shit

I don’t believe I’ve ever written a letter with such an aggressive title, but I guess there’s a first time for everything. To the team at Worldwide Tacos, I write this open letter with such regret and disappointment. Regret that I even have to do this, and disappointment that my experience with your restaurant is

International Eats: Il Becco at the Four Seasons is the Epitome of Exceptional Dining

I can’t get Il Becco out of my head. It’s been a few months since my trip to Mexico City and I can’t get the restaurant off of my mind. Not that I want to, I just find it interesting that a restaurant I dined in during my vacation still has such a hold on

Bacon and Barrels Festival in San Diego

Bacon. Think about that word for a second. Does the taste of bacon run across your mouth when you read it? Do you hear the crackling sound of it when you see the letters come together? Can you smell it? If you didn’t answer ‘yes’ to any of those questions, then this review isn’t for
