Drago Ristorante Serves Dishes as Beautiful as its Interior Design

If two years ago you asked me how I would navigate restaurant blogging, I would have let a nervous smile creep across my face, shrug, and said “Hopefully I’ll figure it out”. When I started blogging about restaurants, I had an idea of how I should go about it, but it was all too new

The Cameron’s Dallas BBQ Burger Might Be Umami’s Best Burger Yet

Something we often tend to overlook when eating in a restaurant is music. Since the main purpose of music while dining is to contribute to your overall experience and set the mood, it can often be dismissed without notice. While I was sitting in Umami Burger in Hollywood, the tunes coming from the overhead speakers

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

… well, before I get to that I have to tell you something about myself. I wish I was a bit more of a classy lady. Overall, I can come off as presentable when necessary, but the majority of the time I find it difficult to avoid cursing or obnoxiously rolling my eyes during annoying

I’m one of those annoying people you roll your eyes at during the beginning of the New Year. We’re the ones who always talk about eating healthy in the New Year. The ones who for some reason can’t eat right in the last week of December, but magically the first week of January instills some

West Hollywood’s Pink Taco Has a Taco You Should Eat Tonight

In the last few years I’ve spent my fair share of time in West Hollywood. There was the period where all I did was go to concerts and I spent more evenings than I can recall at The Roxy. Then there were the weekends where all I wanted to do was spend late nights at

Where to Get Holiday Cocktails and Dishes in Los Angeles

The holidays are great. The days and weeks surrounding Christmas and New Year’s are full of cheer, merriment, and joy. With all the presents we give and receive one of the gifts we give is love–especially between couples. As a single gal this holiday season I find myself resisting the urge to throw a brick

The holidays can bring the crazy out of people. As Christmas approaches, the rush to keep up with the expectation of the holiday is at an all-time high. Homes are decorated to an extent that would make a fire marshal concerned and we buy so many gifts that it seems like our presents are getting

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
