Bardonna in Silver Lake is a Perfect Getaway Lunch Spot

Bardonna in Silver Lake was cuter than I expected. Walking up to the restaurant I passed it once, ok twice. It was a simple oversight on my part, but there was no signage on the exterior. Once I saw the “3206” stickers on the top window I figured I found my destination. There were two

Drink Houz Wants to Make Your Breakfast Better, Even on a Monday

It may be strange to say this as a restaurant blogger, but I’m not fond of breakfast. I’ve mentioned that I don’t really care about breakfast or brunch fairly often and I really only eat it when I’m out at a restaurant. If I’m at home, chances are breakfast is an over-boiled egg. A day

… well, before I get to that I have to tell you something about myself. I wish I was a bit more of a classy lady. Overall, I can come off as presentable when necessary, but the majority of the time I find it difficult to avoid cursing or obnoxiously rolling my eyes during annoying

Move Over Santa, Mr. Holmes Bakehouse is Bringing Presents to LA This Year

Every December we lie to kids and no one feels bad about it. Technically we lie year round, but probably most often during the last month of the year. The stretching of the truth to get kids to behave is seen as we tell the story of Santa Claus. A jolly man with a history

As children, being an adult seemed so ideal that we wanted to grow up instantly. It would only be a matter of time for us to realize it was all a lie and that we could never get the forced daytime naps back. Adulting isn’t all we were led to believe because it can become

Mint Leaf in Pasadena

When I started this restaurant blog, one of the first things I did was I created a list of eateries I wanted to review. I found spots where I could explore food but most of them were in Venice, Santa Monica, Crenshaw, Hollywood, etc. What they all had in common was they weren’t in my

I’m getting fat. All my life I’ve been fat mentally, but more recently it’s starting to become physical. My fatness reached an all new low (or high) last week when I gorged on four Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches for no reason other than “I do what I want”. I hope you read that in Cartman’s

I like meeting up with foodies over meals because we all know what to expect. For instance, when the food arrives for non-foodies, they eat. Simple right? That doesn’t go down with foodies. Instead, when plates arrive no one touches them unless it’s to reposition them for a photo. But the best part about meeting

Sometimes I have crazy food cravings. I’ll be going about my regular day and then suddenly it comes out of nowhere: “I need some pizza!” or “What happened to all the ice cream I ate?” To a point, I feel like a hungry pregnant woman. Only thing is I don’t get a party with gifts

En Sushi in Los Feliz

Whenever you ask a person what their favorite sushi dishes are, the answer (more often than not) tends to be elaborate. Octopus rolls, shime saba, fugu sashi, or salmon skin rolls. (I had to Google those because I really don’t know any fancy sushi dishes). But if you ask me what my favorite dishes are,
