The Only Burger You Need to Order at Meat District Co. in Pasadena
They have a well-designed menu which I appreciate, but that doesn’t matter to me. As I take a look through it, I can see that they’ve worked hard on creating a menu with options ranging from healthy salads to finger-licking ribs. However as I flip from page to page, the only thing that I care
Arroyo Seco Weekend Combines Music and Food at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena
There’s sweat dripping down your back, but you’re not complaining. You spent twice as much money on food than you normally would, but you’re starving so you’ll tolerate it. If you read the previous sentences and thought I was describing a day at Disneyland, you would have made a good guess but an incorrect one.
Ritter’s Steam Kettle Cooking Opens in Alhambra and You Need to Eat There Now
New Orleans is a unique city where I spent close to five years of my life. I studied psychology at the Xavier University of Louisiana and while I was in one of the most creative culinary cities, I didn’t appreciate the food as best as I could have. It’s a regret of mine and one
Big D’s Burgers in Whittier
I was standing at the hostess desk asking the waitress, Jen, if I could have a table for two. Looking around at the very small dining area, I had a feeling that would take a while. With an expression that blended optimism and skepticism, she told me that the wait would be about 20 minutes.
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
Crepe Studio in Pasadena
What’s the hardest thing to get when it’s 90+ degrees in LA? A spot at the rooftop pool at The Standard? Hell yes. But the real answer is ice cream. When it’s sweltering in the city and all you really want is the sweet taste of ice cream, get ready for a line out the
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
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s Thai Iced Tea Latte
A few weeks ago I was invited to check out the new Mexican Hot Chocolate from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (TCBTL). I enjoyed sampling the drink from a great coffee shop, but I was even happier to find that the Mexican hot chocolate was delicious beyond belief. During the visit, I got word
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
Pizza of Venice in Altadena
What’s a great way to annoy me: stuff my mailbox with flyers. If I had a hit list, Penny Saver would be at the top of it. However, if your flyer just happens to have images of delicious food and even a freebie, then my annoyance will turn into excitement. Last week I got a
