Nekter in Pasadena

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

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

“Come with me and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination”. You know that song right? It’s “Pure Imagination” from, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It’s also the song that played in my mind when the waitress, Lainey, placed the first plate of food in front of me. The sound of Gene Wilder’s

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

Every once in a while, a moment comes along when you look at a menu and you have to order something different. You’re frozen in place with the decision to try something other than your usual. It’s a frightening situation because you’re so accustomed to your regular drink or food that anything aside from that

The Raymond in Pasadena

A lot of people have a bucket list. It’s full of places to explore, celebrities to meet, or adventures to have. For myself, I have a restaurant bucket list. It’s made up of places I want to try because they make appetizing food or are highly recommended; all narrated (in my head) by Morgan Freeman

Saladish in Pasadena

My favorite time of the day is here: lunch! Err, but at the same time, my biggest struggle of the day is here too: what do I eat? Thankfully, that decision was made when I passed by Saladish in Pasadena. On Colorado Blvd. in Old Town, Saladish serves up healthy food that remains light and

If you’re not too familiar with the restaurant scene in Pasadena, you may think Old Town is the only place to get a good plate. You’re wrong, and here’s why. Yes, Colorado Boulevard is home to great restaurants like 1810 and Mi Piace, but there are other streets with eateries for you to explore and

Rounds Premium Burgers in Pasadena

Growing up in the Pasadena area, I’ve explored a fair share of restaurants just because they’re in such close proximity to me. Whether it was the place to eat during my lunch break or the spot to go to after the club, I have my favorites. Although it’s easy to have an assortment of go-to
