Mrs. Fish in Downtown LA
Mrs. Fish in Downtown LA
I don’t think that I’m old, but I’m sure I act like I am. Throughout my college years and those after, I went to my share of house parties and clubs, but after a few years I grew out of it. I don’t know if it’s because my calves weakened from standing in too many
Brooklyn Deli and Mini Mart in Crenshaw
I spend a lot of time in Crenshaw now that my good friend TJ lives out there. Before living in Crenshaw he lived in Culver City, which was street after street of restaurants. He then moved east to Crenshaw and my biggest concern was how the food scene would be. I never heard people say
Chichen Itza in Downtown LA
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
L.A. Café in Downtown LA
I love when my friends and I plan things for the weekend. We’ll wake up with the intent to go out and do something more than people watch at a local café shop. We may plan to go to the beach, amusement park, or shopping, Too bad we just get lazy and wind up at
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
Fig Tree Café in San Diego
Since the start of the month, my life has been non-stop, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good part is I got to work on a TV show. “Oh my gosh, I wasn’t expecting this Academy Award!” I know, I’m getting ahead of myself. The bad part is I need
Solita Tacos & Margaritas in Valencia
What do you do with your free time? By “free time”, I don’t mean the 2 minutes you have when you walk out of the office and to your car. I mean free time. When I think of the question, my answers are: explorations with my friends, boxing classes, watching I Love Lucy marathons, and
The Raymond in Pasadena (Dinner)
“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
Big Kitchen Cafe in San Diego
When I’m in a city where I’m unsure of where to dine, I prefer to ask someone who knows. Common sense, right? Every once in a while, the earth moves out of orbit and for some reason, the person who knows where to eat comes to me. That happened when I was visiting my friend,
Celestino in Pasadena
I would love to say that I’ve eaten at every LA restaurant. That I know restaurants so well, Google asks me to give descriptions of LA eateries. Although I’m not Google’s go-to food expert, I will drop the name of a spot that creates unique dishes that you have to try. Case in point, Celestino
