Via Veneto in Santa Monica

A few days ago, I made a rookie mistake that I’m embarrassed about. Since this mistake happened at a restaurant I planned to review, I have to tell you about it. I figure if I can tell you the fun and exciting restaurant related news, then I should be able to tell you the weird

Urban Radish in Downtown LA

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten in a grocery store. Actually that’s not true, I have. Whenever I’m grocery shopping and I have my purse spoon handy, I might take a few samples of ice cream before I buy it. Sure I get a few looks from the store employees, but if I broke the

Magnolia House in Pasadena (A Year Later)

Magnolia House was dark. Not the creepy, “who just touched my elbow” dark. More like the “I’ve had a long day and the dimness of this place is relaxing my life” dark. It was exactly what I needed. As my body began to calm down from work and traffic, I took a moment to walk

Tatsu Ramen in Los Angeles

I don’t think I’ve ever had ramen. Well not the popular type of ramen that draws lines around a restaurant. The type of ramen I’ve had was a hard block of noodles that came in a small plastic bag. Don’t know which one I’m talking about? Well here’s a hint, its preceded by the word

Glass Door in San Diego

Dear Chef Carlos, This sucks. It’s never fun to give bad news, but I think it’s important to do so because it could lead to improvements. Please understand, the reason I didn’t say all of this while I was in the restaurant was because it was extremely busy the day of my visit. There was

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

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
