Giorgia Sinatra of Pasta Sisters Talks Affordable Italian Food in LA, the Buzzfeed Effect, and Joining The Taste by LA Times

This may sound like an exaggeration, but at least once a week I hear about Pasta Sisters. I may hear the name in passing, read about them in an article, or come across someone posting about the restaurant on Instagram. Whatever way the restaurant enters my day, the point is that they do it. Recently,

John Wayne Cancer Institute Honors Two Individuals in Cancer Prevention at the Montage in Beverly Hills

When I was younger, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. At my age and at the time, it was all a bit of a blur. Seeing my mom being taken into surgery as a child was confusing; opening the door to neighbors bringing food to our home while she recovered was odd. It took

The “2019 Pacific Youth of the Year” Gala Celebrated Bright Young Adults in Beverly Hills

A year ago I sat at a table in the Beverly Hilton Hotel for the Boys & Girls Club of America’s “2018 Pacific Youth of the Year” gala. Throughout the evening I told myself not to cry at the heartfelt stories from the young adults and halfway through tears were trickling down my face. Trying to

Ms. Chi Welcomes You for Brunch in Culver City

Ms. Chi Cafe Welcomes You for Brunch in Culver City

You don’t have to do much to get me to show up to a place that has food. No need for any kidnapping. You don’t have to throw me in a giant bag, toss me in the trunk, and shove me in a booth to get me into a restaurant. In fact, you don’t have

This Beverly Hills Restaurant Wants to Give You the Best Indian Food in LA

There are many days, afternoons, and evenings that I love restaurant discovery in Los Angeles. I can’t help but appreciate the moments where I’m sitting with a friend, forks in hand, grabbing bite after bite of food from each plate covering the table. What once were clean napkins quickly become covered with traces of initially

Nerano in Beverly Hills Welcomes You to Have a Beautiful Italian Lunch

I take lunch very seriously. Correction: I take any meal of the day very seriously, but lunch in particular. I wouldn’t say I walk up to a plate on a table during the middle of the day with a sweat band around my head, but it’s kind of close. I can’t speak for the staff

Animal Equality’s “Inspiring Global Action” Gala Helps Bring Awareness to Animal Rights

If you know me, then you know I’m a big meat eater. There’s no denying that and there’s no way to pretend that’s not the case. Take a gander around this blog and you’ll see nothing but the facts: I love meat. While the closest I’ve ever been to a vegetarian was when I got

Kat Von D, Moby, and More Share Their Favorite Vegan Restaurants and How Meat Eaters Can Do More for Animal Rights

I was standing on the black carpet at the Inspiring Global Action Gala held by Animal Equality and I was nervous. Part of the reason was because I’ve never done a red carpet interview of this caliber with so many celebrities and it was intimidating. Will I say the wrong thing? What do I do

TreePeople’s “An Evening Under the Harvest Moon” Gala Honored Irmelin DiCaprio

What I’m about to say may sound like bragging and that’s because it is, but I’ve won my share of awards in my day. I’ve won awards for having the cleanest desk in elementary, honor roll in high school, and listening to all my songs in my iTunes (I gave that last one to myself—twice).
