Let Chef Christophe Émé Steer Your Dinner at Kass Restaurant & Wine Bar

I need you to trust me. I need you to believe that if I recommend a restaurant that it will be worth your time and money. That if I’ve been to a place, edited the photos, wrote a review, and even shared it across social media that I wouldn’t waste your time. In fact, it

I’m not a morning person and after spending thirty plus years on this planet I’ve come to the conclusion that I never will be. If I haven’t found the ability to wake up as the sun rises with a song in my heart for the last three decades I think it’s safe to say that

Papilles Serves a Delicious Farmer’s Dinner for Everyone in the City of Angels

Everyone has been saying Papilles is amazing. By everyone I really mean the food writer at my job, Eddie. To elaborate along that first sentence, Eddie is opinionated and vocal to the point that he could appear to be at least thirty people which could grant him the title of “everybody”.

Have a Fancy French Breakfast at Julienne’s in San Marino

There’s very little that will get me out of bed early on a Saturday morning. If something is happening in the morning and requires me to be coherent, it’s most likely not for me. Say there’s a church meeting at 8am, even God already knows I won’t be there. Last Friday night, TJ asked if

What’s the hardest thing to get when it’s 90+ degrees in LA? A spot at the rooftop pool at The Standard? Hell yes. But the real answer is ice cream. When it’s sweltering in the city and all you really want is the sweet taste of ice cream, get ready for a line out the
