When I think of an underground supper club, I think of walking through a dark, damp alley, opening a creaky steel door, meeting some guy named Boris and being led into a dimly lit room to sit at a crowded table with other diners. My first underground dinner with Chicks with Knives was [...]

I met up with some friends for dinner tonight in the SGV. One friend suggested Tasty Garden, a Hong Kong-styled cafe. I heard that the waiting times for tables on weekends are long, so I jumped at the opportunity to try out this restaurant on a weekday.

We ordered French Style Filet Mignon. I don’t [...]

Rahel is one restaurant in a row of tasty Ethiopian restaurants in Little Ethiopia on Fairfax. How does this restaurant stand out against the rest? It serves delicious vegan food.

What brought me to O! Burger the first time was the fact that they were a fast-food burger place nearby that had vegan burgers. Okay, okay, Johnny Rockets has vegan burgers too, but this place makes their own vegan patty (Johnny Rockets’ uses Boca Burger patties) as well as vegan shakes.

The BF and I [...]
