Scallops, Halibut, Pork Tenderloin and More at Nook Bistro

I like to think that I know great restaurants. Whether it’s a popular or an unknown location, I quietly pat myself on the back at the thought that I can help a person find a good place to eat. The same goes for dishes. “Escargot? No don’t get it here, it’s still moving.” Every now

Primo’s Donuts Wants to Help You Celebrate National Donut Day

Am I the only one who thinks National Donut Day should really be a federal holiday? I know I may be a bit biased to food holidays because I like food and I equally like getting paid days off from work, but I think that’s fair. Eating donuts brings me the same happiness as opening

Tacos Tu Madre Serves Gourmet Tacos with Traditional Flare

When it comes to tacos in Los Angeles, there’s an unlimited selection of places to get your fix. You can go to any Mexican restaurant and order a couple, get a few from the guy outside of Union Station, and there’s about a 150% chance that at least one of your friends has the number

Sonoritas Prime Tacos in Los Angeles

I got some pretty bad news a few hours before heading out to dinner at Sonoritas. What it was about was irrelevant. While, I can say that it wasn’t like a “plague upon my house” bad; it was pretty disappointing. After getting the news, I didn’t want to go anywhere but home and I didn’t

Via Veneto in Santa Monica

A few days ago, I made a rookie mistake that I’m embarrassed about. Since this mistake happened at a restaurant I planned to review, I have to tell you about it. I figure if I can tell you the fun and exciting restaurant related news, then I should be able to tell you the weird

Chomp Eatery in Santa Monica

When friends and family come into town, I like to show them a good time. You may be thinking that I give them a great city tour to Angels Flight, the Hollywood Sign, and then for a drive down Pacific Coast Highway. If that’s where your mind went then I’d tell you to pump your

Simpang Asia in Los Angeles

I’ve never had Indonesian food before, actually I’m not sure if I’ve ever really thought about Indonesian food before.  However, when I got the chance to check out Simpang Asia who specializes in the cuisine, I thought this was the perfect time. I’d get to experience a different type of food in an authentic restaurant,

Shaka Shack Burgers in Santa Monica

Have you ever lost touch with a friend? Say, you and a friend used to work together, and then he got a better job and left. Suddenly you were alone at your hellmouth of a job with no one to make fun jokes with. But it was ok because you two still hung out. Then

Killer Cafe in Marina del Rey

It’s 2:17am and the club just kicked you out. You’re walking with your friends back to the car and you’re starving. Sorry, but all those cherries and Amaretto Sours didn’t fill you up as you had hoped and now, you need something to hold you over until you wake up in the next few hours.

Mercado in Santa Monica

I’ve always liked tacos–pretty much everyone does, especially around Cinco de Mayo. But I now like them even more thanks to the Downtown Santa Monica Taco Trek. Menu tastings at Border Grill and Copa d’ Oro offered great Mexican inspired dishes and drinks, and now I was at Mercado ready to see what their chef
