Ritter’s Steam Kettle Cooking Opens in Alhambra and You Need to Eat There Now

New Orleans is a unique city where I spent close to five years of my life. I studied psychology at the Xavier University of Louisiana and while I was in one of the most creative culinary cities, I didn’t appreciate the food as best as I could have. It’s a regret of mine and one

Slapfish in Brea

When it comes to this food blogger life, my greatest problem isn’t what to order but trying not to order everything. That was the case yesterday as I stared at the menu of Slapfish. The popular seafood restaurant opened a new location in Brea, and I was previewing their menu with a handful of foodies

Beach Nation in West Hollywood

It was 10am and I was having a pretty rough start to the morning. I was slightly hungover and I had made the horrible mistake of telling TJ that I would take him to LAX. Earlier this year I vowed never to taxi anyone to the hub of confusion and traffic that is the Los

Next Door Lounge in Hollywood

TJ: Let me say the password. Me: No. She told me the password so I’m saying it. TJ: I’m gonna say it. Me: You better not. I’m gonna be all mobster slick and whisper the password. TJ: Too bad you can’t whisper. I paused for a second. Me: You know what to say right? TJ

Dupar’s in Los Angeles

If you ever come out to LA then it’s most likely to visit the places you’ve seen on TV or heard in stories. You may want to go to the Griffith Observatory because you saw a shot of it in Basketball Wives. Or, you may want to visit the Korean Bell of Friendship because a

Sweet Butter Kitchen in Sherman Oaks

Whenever I want to eat out in LA, I have a good idea of where to go. I may know the exact restaurant, a city of choice, or I may be in a struggle and only know that I’m hungry. Regardless, if I’m in the city of angels, I’ll be guided to a good eatery.

Café Laurent in Culver City

On Saturday I went to a wedding of my friend Jose and Marta. It was at the Camarillo Ranch House where the hills surrounded the venue, trees wrapped around the reception area, and hanging lights turned the evening into a party. It was beautiful to see two happy people celebrate their love with their closest

Bacon and Barrels Festival in San Diego

Bacon. Think about that word for a second. Does the taste of bacon run across your mouth when you read it? Do you hear the crackling sound of it when you see the letters come together? Can you smell it? If you didn’t answer ‘yes’ to any of those questions, then this review isn’t for

Since the start of the month, my life has been non-stop, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good part is I got to work on a TV show. “Oh my gosh, I wasn’t expecting this Academy Award!” I know, I’m getting ahead of myself. The bad part is I need

When I’m in a city where I’m unsure of where to dine, I prefer to ask someone who knows. Common sense, right? Every once in a while, the earth moves out of orbit and for some reason, the person who knows where to eat comes to me. That happened when I was visiting my friend,
