Find the Best Cookies in Los Angeles from this Black Owned Bakery in Pasadena

I was standing in the frame of my door looking at Devonna wanting a straight answer. You would have thought I was auditioning for a crime show with the conviction in my voice as I asked her the question for the second time: “These cookies are too good, what do you put in them?” She

Masters of Taste Returns to the Rose Bowl on Sunday April 7

There isn’t a shortage of things to do in Los Angeles. Whether you’re looking for a hike, to see peacocks, or a concert there are a handful of activities to do within this city. One of the things I love is to attend food related events. While I can’t go to them as often as

Two of the Best Burgers to Order from Meat District Co. in Pasadena

I’m not new to dining at Meat District Co. in Pasadena. I’ve been to this restaurant a few times before and occasionally have to stop myself from going in on a weekly basis in order to explore other restaurants. And maintain a job. However, I recently had a reason to go back to Meat District

Chef Mark Peel’s Prawn Gives Seafood Another Home in Pasadena

It doesn’t take much for me to visit a new restaurant. Sure walking by and inhaling the beautiful scent is a great way to get me inside, but simply seeing a chef I admire open a new location can do the job just as well. That was the case when I found out that the

Dining at This Pasadena Steak House is Worth Every Single Dollar in Your Bank Account

Well, maybe not every dollar, but some of them. Dining at Ruth’s Chris Steak House is expensive, but you already know that. Telling you that the price per plate may be the same price as replacing your tires, won’t come as a surprise, but the fact is the restaurant is worth it—at least every now

Get a Preview of Masters of Taste and then Grab Your Tickets ASAP

I feel like I hear more and more people say that summer is just around the corner. Then I look out the window, flip through the calendar, and put my finger to my chin and think “Which corner is that?”. The minute the statement comes out through a person’s lips I want to put my

Go the Simple and Delicious Route with Dinner at Del Frisco’s Grille in Pasadena

It doesn’t take much for me to find a few things on a menu that I like. I think the same probably holds true for most people who enjoy eating out. If there’s an equation to making us happy when it comes to dining in restaurants the formula tends to include a combination of: nice

The Only Burger You Need to Order at Meat District Co. in Pasadena

They have a well-designed menu which I appreciate, but that doesn’t matter to me. As I take a look through it, I can see that they’ve worked hard on creating a menu with options ranging from healthy salads to finger-licking ribs. However as I flip from page to page, the only thing that I care

Find Out What Truffles Taste Like with Five Dishes at Celestino in Pasadena

This probably wasn’t one of my best decisions. That’s not to imply that I make great decisions on a regular basis, I don’t. Every now and then I make bad judgements and I don’t always do what’s best. I think the majority of people can agree with that. However, in this instance I was sitting
