A Sunday Brunch So Good You Should Skip Church, Sorry Jesus

Although I may be up early every day to exercise before work, I’m not a morning person. This is especially true when it comes to the weekends—Sunday in particular. If you see me awake before 10am on a Sunday, it’s because I’m going to church. There’s very little aside from the Lord that will get

Beelman’s Pub: Late Night Eats for the Nocturnal Crowd

It was Thursday night in Downtown LA as TJ and I walked out of the Regal Cinemas at L.A. Live. We just finished watching “Captain America: Civil War” and even though it was after 10pm we were starving. While the movie was good, many scenes could have been tossed so we wouldn’t have been in

What do you like to eat when you go to the movies? How about when you go to a concert? If you go with me, then you like to eat whatever I’ve stuffed into my purse. Maybe it’s some In-N-Out or a nice three-course meal that I whipped up before I left the house. Regardless

Magnolia House in Pasadena (A Year Later)

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

The Black Sheep in Downtown LA

TJ and I were ten minutes into our walk to The Black Sheep in Downtown LA and we were lost. Not just a little lost, more like we don’t have a Thomas Guide in 1994 lost. I thought I had GPS’d my way into this gastropub, but clearly I didn’t do a good enough job.

Gamz in Downtown LA

It was 1:06pm and I was running late. I was invited to check out the brand new bar Gamz in Downtown LA prior to its September 10 grand opening along with some bloggers and Instagrammers and I was six minutes late. I know with these types of events five minutes is fine, but I was

Quick Drinks: The Alley in Culver City

A few posts ago I wrote about the great dinner I had at Fin in Culver City. But at the end of it, I left you with a cliffhanger about a speakeasy that lay tucked away behind the restaurant. That speakeasy is The Alley. The Alley is named after its convenient location and even though

FIN in Culver City

I have so much respect for sushi, but that wasn’t always the case. For the longest time I turned my nose up to it because I generalized all sushi to look and taste like rotten fish. It was overpriced, disgusting, and probably still moving. There was nothing anyone could do to make me think otherwise.
