National Taco Day and National Vodka Day Ring In at Tito’s Fiesta Mexicana

National Taco Day and National Vodka Day Ring In at Tito’s Fiesta Mexicana

This week saw the collision of two of important days that you may have missed: national taco day and national vodka day. Both on Tuesday, October 4th, the day served as the rise of a food lover’s dream holiday. To celebrate, Tito’s Tacos and Tito’s Handmade Vodka aligned with one another to hold their 5th

Ditch Your Lunch and Grab Food from El Barrio Neighborhood Tacos

The pandemic has changed so much of how I work. I’m extremely thankful to be working in the career that I love, but to say that working in a hospital is easy during this time would be a complete lie. It has been such a difficult time that I can no longer balance all the

Pasta Sisters, I Will Return When this is Over

I miss pasta. I don’t mean the kind that I pull out the cupboard, question the expiration date, and then boil in water and hope for the best. I miss the kind of pasta that gets made in a kitchen, plated, and brought before me at a table. If you can gather, I miss pasta

Giorgia Sinatra of Pasta Sisters Talks Affordable Italian Food in LA, the Buzzfeed Effect, and Joining The Taste by LA Times

This may sound like an exaggeration, but at least once a week I hear about Pasta Sisters. I may hear the name in passing, read about them in an article, or come across someone posting about the restaurant on Instagram. Whatever way the restaurant enters my day, the point is that they do it. Recently,

Ms. Chi Welcomes You for Brunch in Culver City

Ms. Chi Cafe Welcomes You for Brunch in Culver City

You don’t have to do much to get me to show up to a place that has food. No need for any kidnapping. You don’t have to throw me in a giant bag, toss me in the trunk, and shove me in a booth to get me into a restaurant. In fact, you don’t have

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

Lodge Bread in Culver City

It’s just before 11am, I’m sitting in my car in Culver City, and there’s a woman shouting at the top of her lungs. She’s not crazy, but she’s going to drive me crazy. She’s squeezing a horn and shouting, “Tamales! Tamales!” as she pushes a cart down the street. Dear Lord. I jump out of my car

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.

Café Laurent in Culver City

On Saturday I went to a wedding of my friend Jose and Marta. It was at the Camarillo Ranch House where the hills surrounded the venue, trees wrapped around the reception area, and hanging lights turned the evening into a party. It was beautiful to see two happy people celebrate their love with their closest
