Rapper Nas and John Seymour Bring NYC’s Sweet Chick to Los Angeles

Last night, rapper Nas and business partner John Seymour brought their New York restaurant, Sweet Chick, to Fairfax Avenue. Arguably the greatest rapper of all time and the co-founder held a private party at the restaurant to introduce media, family, and friends to the new restaurant. A familiar location on the east side, Sweet Chick

Del Frisco’s Grille in Santa Monica Has the Perfect Brunch for the Tourist and Local

I can’t explain why Santa Monica has been getting so much of time lately, but I also don’t care to do so. Being around what seems to be the bluest of skies, the glistening water, and what could be the freshest of air (by LA standards at least) is an extremely relaxing feeling. Living in

Bardonna in Silver Lake is a Perfect Getaway Lunch Spot

Bardonna in Silver Lake was cuter than I expected. Walking up to the restaurant I passed it once, ok twice. It was a simple oversight on my part, but there was no signage on the exterior. Once I saw the “3206” stickers on the top window I figured I found my destination. There were two

This Meat Lover Went Vegetarian and Got More than She Expected at Flower Child

“I just want to be happy.” he said. The sentence stopped me in my tracks as I was taking photos of dishes at Flower Child in Santa Monica. It was a hard sentence to hear from anyone, but coming from an older man discussing his divorce, it struck a chord. I have no real understanding

Drink Houz Wants to Make Your Breakfast Better, Even on a Monday

It may be strange to say this as a restaurant blogger, but I’m not fond of breakfast. I’ve mentioned that I don’t really care about breakfast or brunch fairly often and I really only eat it when I’m out at a restaurant. If I’m at home, chances are breakfast is an over-boiled egg. A day

Los Angeles Times Unveils its Month Long Food Festival, and You’ll Definitely Want to Go

There’s very little I’ll walk in the rain for, especially without an umbrella. I’ll do it for my mom because she threatens me with the “I gave you life, I can take it away” bit. I believe her. I’ll do it if for some reason it means it’ll erase my name from Sallie Mae’s records.

Discover Your Soon-To-Be Favorite Thai Restaurant in Los Angeles

A few months ago I called my friend, Lauren, in hysteria. “What happened? Did someone die? Did you lose your job” Lauren asked in a panic. “No, it’s—” I started. “Oh god, are you pregnant?” “Girl no!” I shouted. “Our favorite Thai placed is closed! Like gone, Lauren, it’s gone! Shut down never to open

Cookie Good in Santa Monica Serves Amazing Treats with Heart in Each Bite

“Where do the souls of cookies go when they pass away?” I know you’re wondering where this question is going, but stay with me for a minute. I reflected on this thought as I stood in line at Cookie Good in Santa Monica. If the souls of good people go to heaven when they die,

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

When it comes to rain in Los Angeles, we Angelenos often react to it like it’s the end of the world. No one knows how to drive and people look out their windows in fear of what’s falling from the sky. “Is this the end?” a terrified housewife whispers as she clutches to her pearls.
