Hermosa Beach Fish Shop in Hermosa Beach
As April comes to a close and May creeps onto the calendar, I can only think of one thing: summer’s almost here! I like summer because it means there will be constant sunshine, impromptu beach adventures, and—if the universe moves in my favor—a summer fling. But I also dislike summer because of my car’s confused
Guisados in Echo Park
Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner and I know there are a ton of restaurants gearing up to make the best Mexican dishes just for you (hey, and me too). Knowing that, I thought it would be great to highlight these spots prior to the big day. I pulled out a pen and
En Sushi in Los Feliz
Whenever you ask a person what their favorite sushi dishes are, the answer (more often than not) tends to be elaborate. Octopus rolls, shime saba, fugu sashi, or salmon skin rolls. (I had to Google those because I really don’t know any fancy sushi dishes). But if you ask me what my favorite dishes are,
The Raymond in Pasadena (Dinner)
“Come with me and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination”. You know that song right? It’s “Pure Imagination” from, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It’s also the song that played in my mind when the waitress, Lainey, placed the first plate of food in front of me. The sound of Gene Wilder’s
Bombo in Downtown LA
I know that I’m fat on the inside, and kind of on the outside too. But last week, my fatness reached a new level as I encountered my own fat sense. It’s like a Spidey sense, but it doesn’t have a cool costume or web slinging abilities. Instead, it’s an ability to know that something
Cookin Thyme in Hawthorne
Hey Chef Jen, This past weekend I had the chance to eat at your restaurant, Cookin Thyme, unfortunately I didn’t have good experience. I understand that you’re an experienced catering chef, but that you have a small restaurant with limited operating hours. It may not be easy to work around those limitations, but there were
gochew in Downtown LA
A few weeks ago I went through a crummy break up and the timing was so inconvenient. Not that there’s a good time for a break up, but if I could schedule it, it would happen on a different day. Why? Because my new found single life just happened to land on the day I
Locanda del Lago in Santa Monica
Last month I was invited to check out a unique dinner at Locanda del Lago (Lago, for short). The description of it was that it’s not a simple dinner. You don’t merely sit down with a friend or two and order a variety of dishes that fit your current mood. Instead it’s a five-course prix-fixe
Celestino in Pasadena
I would love to say that I’ve eaten at every LA restaurant. That I know restaurants so well, Google asks me to give descriptions of LA eateries. Although I’m not Google’s go-to food expert, I will drop the name of a spot that creates unique dishes that you have to try. Case in point, Celestino
Aventine Hollywood in Hollywood
There’s a beauty in the city of Hollywood that people don’t always see. It’s often goes unnoticed because of all the people trying to “make it” in the city of flashing lights. You’ve experienced it: the so-called writer handing out his screenplay on the sidewalk or the CVS cashier who breaks out into Whitney Houston’s
