This Meat Lover Went Vegetarian and Got More than She Expected at Flower Child

“I just want to be happy.” he said. The sentence stopped me in my tracks as I was taking photos of dishes at Flower Child in Santa Monica. It was a hard sentence to hear from anyone, but coming from an older man discussing his divorce, it struck a chord. I have no real understanding

The Cameron’s Dallas BBQ Burger Might Be Umami’s Best Burger Yet

Something we often tend to overlook when eating in a restaurant is music. Since the main purpose of music while dining is to contribute to your overall experience and set the mood, it can often be dismissed without notice. While I was sitting in Umami Burger in Hollywood, the tunes coming from the overhead speakers

This Downtown LA Bar Has a Burger with Your Name on It

Actually, it had my name on it. But since it was so good, I’ll graciously take my name off and you can put yours on it and pretend like the burger belongs to you. Sure you eating my burger might be a little weird, but considering how good it is, we’ll just disregard that part.

Kick 2017 Off with Healthier Eats at Brio Coastal Bar & Kitchen

I’m one of those annoying people you roll your eyes at during the beginning of the New Year. We’re the ones who always talk about eating healthy in the New Year. The ones who for some reason can’t eat right in the last week of December, but magically the first week of January instills some

Dulan’s on Crenshaw: Good Soul Food for the LA Eater

I was struggling to find a place to get lunch in LA. Yes, restaurant and  food bloggers can have a hard time finding something to eat—it happens, don’t judge me. Ok, go ahead and judge me. I had just grabbed a almond butter protein smoothie from Open Source Organics in Hollywood, but that wasn’t a

Two Entrees and One Girl at Laurel Point in Studio City

I thought this would be easy, but I quickly found out that I was wrong. I was looking to have brunch in LA one Sunday morning and opted to check out Laurel Point in Studio City. I was supposed to go with a friend, but as he was unable to come, I decided to go

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

Cassell’s: Keeping Old School Burgers in LA Since 1948

“I think I’m gonna regret this.” I thought to myself as I sat in my car. My hand was on the gearshift as my mind darted back and forth on the decision I was about to make. TJ sat in the passenger seat and had no idea what dilemma I was in. Better yet, what

Redbird in Downtown LA is the Perfect Place to Celebrate Anything and Everything

Out of all the things I did this month, the most important was that I turned thirty. I don’t say that because I want everyone to rejoice in the day I was born; I really didn’t do anything, it was my mom who did all the hard work. Instead, turning thirty was important because I’m

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
