Market Milkshake Mondays at Plan Check in Downtown LA

Science has made extreme advances in developing cures. Think about it, we have a cure for tetanus. We have a cure for rabies. We have a cure for polio. And hopefully, in a matter of years, we’ll have a cure for douchebaggery. Take a step out of the medical field and into the restaurant industry

Carmela Ice Cream in Pasadena

My driver’s license may show that I’m an adult, but I’m really not. Regardless of my age, I still do very childish things when I know better. I’m not immature, but I’m not-not immature. Yes, that double negative was necessary. One of my childish habits that I can’t break is eating ice cream in place

“If you put your fork in that waffle there’s no going back.” That was the voice of the good angel on my right shoulder. “Just put a fork in it already!” And that would be the not-so-good angel on my left shoulder. That was the situation that I was in as I sat with my

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams in Los Feliz

Last Friday I read on Eater LA, that Ohio’s own Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams was opening their doors to LA. To ring in the celebration, they were offering a free scoop of ice cream to everyone who stopped by the shop between 7pm and 10pm. The minute I clocked out of work, my friend and

Donut Friend in Highland Park

The other day my coworker asked me the most random question, “What’s your favorite nut?” I thought about it for a second and responded, “Donut.” Peanuts are overrated, walnuts are ok, but donuts are always perfect. Ever since he asked me that, I struggled to have a stream of thoughts without one of them being

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

Macaronage in San Diego

This past weekend I was in San Diego with my friend Lauren. Sure, I could have been doing cheesy Valentine’s Day festivities with my boyfriend, but he went out of town to be with family. With an empty weekend on my calendar, I took an impromptu trip to what Ron Burgundy coined, the Whale’s Vagina.

Have you ever had a great dinner and regretted not getting dessert? Or have you had dessert and then decided, “I should have another”? Well, both of those scenarios happen to me pretty often. Thankfully, LA has great dessert spots where I can grab something sweet regardless of the time. California Donuts and Stella Barra

I love Instagram. Not because of the obvious reasons. Yes, it’s a great social media platform and I can find highly relevant memes to apply to my life. But I actually love it because it puts me in mobile proximity to people and brands I may have never discovered. This happened when I was scrolling

To the genius at Stella Barra who knew my thoughts, heard my prayers, and somehow managed to understand what my soul has needed, I say thank-you. You, the wise experimenter, have crafted a pastry so magical it belongs in a Disney movie. You’ve made a dessert that is a hybrid of my two greatest wants
