A Good Lashing at Lasher’s

It’s DineLA Week again, which means prix fixe meals on a budget! One of my friends and I picked Lasher’s as our first stop. We had been looking forward to this dinner for weeks. We had never been here before and had no idea what to expect. It turned out to [...]

Geisha House — Très Ordinaire

Friday, September 10, 2010 12:46 13 Comments

Okay, I’ll preface this review with the disclaimer that I was taken out to eat at Geisha House by a visiting European travel/food writer and so, mercifully, I did not pay for this meal.
A free meal at an overrated, passé sushi spot – how bad could it suck?!

Yumminess at Umami Burger

Friday, July 23, 2010 18:47 7 Comments

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 [...]
