Dulan’s on Crenshaw: Good Soul Food for the LA Eater

I was struggling to find a place to get lunch in LA. Yes, restaurant and  food bloggers can have a hard time finding something to eat—it happens, don’t judge me. Ok, go ahead and judge me. I had just grabbed a almond butter protein smoothie from Open Source Organics in Hollywood, but that wasn’t a

Rushing from Downtown LA to Mid City LA isn’t a difficult drive on average day. However, when the drive is after work, getting from one side of town to the other becomes a little challenging. As an Angeleno who is almost allergic to traffic, a drive such as that must result in something exceptional. Lucky

Cassell’s: Keeping Old School Burgers in LA Since 1948

“I think I’m gonna regret this.” I thought to myself as I sat in my car. My hand was on the gearshift as my mind darted back and forth on the decision I was about to make. TJ sat in the passenger seat and had no idea what dilemma I was in. Better yet, what

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

I hate being late. I can’t say that I’m always prompt, but I usually arrive somewhere between “Wow you’re early!” and “Damn, why’d you even show up?” On this occasion, I was about 20 minutes late. It was one of those moments when I walk in breathing heavily (because I’m out of shape, not because

Let’s Be Clear: A Look at the McDonald’s & Neal Fraser Event

For the last week, the food interweb has been going nuts over a dinner hosted by Downtown LA and Top Chef Masters participant, Neal Fraser. Articles were popping up left and right in the OC Register, Cosmopolitan, Huffington Post Taste, and many more. While most of these articles reeked of generalizations or were from writers

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

If you ever come out to LA then it’s most likely to visit the places you’ve seen on TV or heard in stories. You may want to go to the Griffith Observatory because you saw a shot of it in Basketball Wives. Or, you may want to visit the Korean Bell of Friendship because a

This past Saturday I planned to go about my normal routine: hear my gym alarm go off at 7am, pull the covers over my face for an extra hour, and then crawl outta my bed like girl from The Grudge to get dressed. Instead of doing my usual, my friend and I decided we would

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I were trying to decide where to grab breakfast. He said he would come up with a spot, and then 30 minutes later he asked if I knew a place to go. He had one job. With little searching involved, I suggested we go to The Original Farmers Market next to
