Experience an Italian Inspired Brunch from O+O Sicilian Kitchen in Santa Monica

It seems like there’s an avid love for brunch that isn’t going anywhere. Not that I want it to, it just seems that over the last couple of years the clamor for the midday style of eating has grown in popularity. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of anything that took me out of bed

Del Frisco’s Grille in Santa Monica Has the Perfect Brunch for the Tourist and Local

I can’t explain why Santa Monica has been getting so much of time lately, but I also don’t care to do so. Being around what seems to be the bluest of skies, the glistening water, and what could be the freshest of air (by LA standards at least) is an extremely relaxing feeling. Living in

Killer Shrimp’s Delicious Seafood Menu is Perfect for Your Summer Beach Days

Summer’s right around the corner and if you’re ready to spend the majority of your days on the sand facing the water, then you’re not alone. In fact, I along with many others are eagerly waiting for the time to arrive. As the temperature grows from warm to scorching here in Los Angeles, the amount

Have a Healthy Dinner of Salad, Pasta, and More at Napa Valley Grille in West LA

Vegetarian and healthy plates are following me. Not on a stalker level, but I’m seeing them more often. Lately I’ve been visiting restaurants and while looking through the menu I find myself opting for healthier plates. Burgers have been replaced with salads and steaks have been substituted with quinoa power bowls. I don’t know if

This Meat Lover Went Vegetarian and Got More than She Expected at Flower Child

“I just want to be happy.” he said. The sentence stopped me in my tracks as I was taking photos of dishes at Flower Child in Santa Monica. It was a hard sentence to hear from anyone, but coming from an older man discussing his divorce, it struck a chord. I have no real understanding

Cookie Good in Santa Monica Serves Amazing Treats with Heart in Each Bite

“Where do the souls of cookies go when they pass away?” I know you’re wondering where this question is going, but stay with me for a minute. I reflected on this thought as I stood in line at Cookie Good in Santa Monica. If the souls of good people go to heaven when they die,

Reminiscing on Holiday Pastries with Sidecar Doughnuts (Yes in January)

Remember the holidays? I know we’re nineteen days into 2017, but the holidays only happened a few weeks ago. If it were May and I was talking about Christmas, then maybe you could roll your eyes at me. Since it’s not, allow me to continue. For the most part, the holidays were great. The seasonal

See Why Dinner at North Italia in El Segundo is Worth the Drive, Every Time

When I first got my driver’s license, I would hop in my car and go anywhere for any reason. I would drive to work, school, the mailbox, hell I’d drive to the backyard if my car could fit through the fence. It didn’t take long before sitting in traffic, a few accidents, and the financial

Margo’s is the Latest Santa Monica Restaurant You Should Visit, Now

“I wonder if I look weird to everyone else in this restaurant.” That was the thought that ran through my mind as I sat alone, by myself, with no one at my table in Margo’s in Santa Monica. To the left of me was a table of women gabbing, to my right was a couple

True Food Kitchen Offers Simple and Charming Plates for the Holidays

If you can’t already tell, the holidays are right around the corner. Your neighbor has most likely overly decorated his front yard and you’re probably sick of hearing Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” on the radio. If those sentences describe you even slightly, then that’s unfortunate because I love all of it. I
