Yumminess at Umami Burger

I first heard of Umami Burger a couple years ago from a coworker. Somehow, the thought of paying $10 for just a hamburger seemed ridiculous, so I passed. Oh silly me… If only that person had told me how delicious that burger would be, I wouldn’t have been so resistant to trying [...]

Dear Readers,
I have done something absolutely horrible as a foodblogger. I’ve been holding out on you. A while back, I discovered Scoops, a taste of heaven for gelato and ice cream lovers. It is my favorite stop for a sweet treat, and I usually stop by once or twice a month. [...]

I am about to break one of my personal foodblogging rules. With so many great restaurants in L.A., I have always refused to redo a restaurant review. I might go back and add notes in the comments section, but once I post something, that’s it… until now.

Life is like a box of produce…

A month and a half ago, I wrote about attending Extravaganza for the Senses. One of the booths there was a new organic produce delivery service. Now, I’ve heard of these services, and it seemed very convenient, but I was always a little turned off by price. Then I talked to Farm [...]

Getting What’s Fresh at Fraiche

Whenever my sister comes to town, I always try to find some good restaurant for us to go to. What can I say? Being a foodie is in the family genes. My sis is very easy to please. I just have to take her to a restaurant I like, and I [...]
