la.foodblogging

Because I don’t have enough to keep me busy these days, I’m launching a redesign of la.foodblogging, and we have also moved servers!
We have been hosted at MediaTemple for a while now. They are a decent host, but the limitations they put on their gridserver accounts are confusing and their support response times were pretty [...]

Don’t worry, this isn’t going to become a baby blog. Obviously, my life is consumed with the little one right now, so that’s what is on my mind.
We actually haven’t made it out to a restaurant yet with the baby, but we do have plans to make a sushi run this week.

Born April 19th, he was a big boy, well fed from our pre-infant dining tour for sure. Just look at all that hair!

In January, I told you about our plans to do some Pre-Infant dining before the birth of our first child. We are down to the final week or two B.C. (Before Child). According to our credit card bills, we have done pretty well. I haven’t done a good job of updating here, so I will [...]

One email did catch my eye this week. From a PR company, I got a cleverly titled email, “Recession Concessions at Table 8″. Hm, sounds [...]

GOOD, a magazine founded and published here in Los Angeles, came out with their GOOD FOOD issue. I couldn’t agree more on their cheap eats feature, called America’s Tastiest Streets, when they say:
Every year, city magazines publish their “cheap eats” guides, gushing over $35 Kobe beef burgers, and enotecas with $15 paninis that pair nicely [...]
