Umami Burger on Broadway Debuts New Dishes and an Exclusive Burger!
Umami Burger has been a restaurant that I love since they first opened in LA back in 2009. Friends and I would hit up the restaurant so often that our bank statements started to look like nothing but receipts from Umami. Since discovering their “fifth taste” style of burgers, I’ve found myself exploring their menu
Amara Chocolate & Coffee Dishes Out Venezuelan Eats in Pasadena
It was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon as I stood in line at Amara Chocolate and Café in Pasadena. The small Venezuelan restaurant sits off of Colorado Boulevard in the historic Old Town Pasadena where people either come to shop or camp out for the Rose Parade. Since I wasn’t looking to shop and it was
International Eats: Ojo de Agua Serves the Freshest Plates in Mexico City
After Michelle and Diego introduced me to the Fonda Mayora, they gave me a tour of other restaurants in the Condesa. They pointed out a couple of hidden spots, places that could be skipped, and then a few that they highly recommend. Along that tour they pointed out Ojo de Agua. In the first glance,
Status Kuo in Mar Vista
When it comes to restaurants, my favorite type are the small ones that know how to make use of their space. I like them so much because the intimate space can evoke conversation and they can feel homey. Aside from conversation and comfort, what I love most is seeing a restaurant that is small in
Le Pain Quotidien in Downtown LA
I have such a nice boss. I mean, the kind of boss that doesn’t yell, micromanage, or make you cut the crust off her kid’s sandwich. My favorite part about her is she gives us a nice amount of time off around the holidays. Take for instance 4th of July, today. Most of my old

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
Pizza of Venice in Altadena
What’s a great way to annoy me: stuff my mailbox with flyers. If I had a hit list, Penny Saver would be at the top of it. However, if your flyer just happens to have images of delicious food and even a freebie, then my annoyance will turn into excitement. Last week I got a
Home in Los Feliz
Not too long ago I had a borderline miserable job that gave me a crummy 45-minute lunch. It was the kind of lunch where the moment I clocked out I would have to run to my lunch locale, push over anyone in my way (sorry granny), try to cut the line, and then scarf down
ChocoChicken in Downtown LA
Once in a while, a gimmick comes around with so much potential that your attention is grasped and your interest is piqued. Such a gimmick in the restaurant world is, ChocoChicken. It is exactly as it sounds: chocolate flavored chicken. Now let me say this, there are a ton of gimmicks out there and they
