It was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon as I stood in line at Amara Chocolate and Café in Pasadena.

Gus’s BBQ – Keeping Legit BBQ in LA Since 1946

There are some things that can be fairly difficult to get in Los Angeles. Monogamy, free all day street parking, and great barbecue just to name a few. If you happen to have a loyal significant other, your car hasn’t moved in the last two days, and you have a delicious rack of ribs in

International Eats: Ojo de Agua Serves the Freshest Plates in Mexico City

After Michelle and Diego introduced me to the Fonda Mayora, they gave me a tour of other restaurants in the Condesa. They pointed out a couple of hidden spots, places that could be skipped, and then a few that they highly recommend. Along that tour they pointed out Ojo de Agua. In the first glance,

Gracie’s Pizza Brings New York Style Pie to LA

Do you ever stop and think about why you look forward to weekends so much? Weekends may be loved for the fact that the majority of us are able to remove ourselves from the robotic and mundane nature that is our 9 to 5. It may also be because those days welcome brunch which is

Take a Look at Glendale’s Latest Pop Up

“This is going to be exciting.” I thought to myself as TJ and I walked up the stairs to K. Ramen Burger and Beer in Glendale. It may have been a bit too early to tell, but it was easy to think that as we made our way into the secret pop-up restaurant of Katsuya

Prepare to Get Hooked on Birdies

I think there is a psychology behind becoming obsessed with a restaurant. That when a person discovers a place and enjoy what they eat, days later the brain starts to crave it and it can’t stop until it gets it. It’s not just about the food; the obsession comprises the travel to get to the

Stout Burgers and Beer in Hollywood

I’ve been to Stout Burgers before. I’ve gone a few times with friends and a few other times were on dates. I’ve been to the restaurant so many times that it eventually became my go-to spot for first dates. Reason being, it’s in a well populated area so I can quickly disappear in a crowd
