Sushi Cali-style — Kiwami

Monday, April 18, 2011 18:40 7 Comments

Okay, it’s hardly traditional sushi — way too much sauce, mayo and spice — but Sushi Chef Katsuya Uechi knows how we like our sushi in L.A.

Note: My apologies, readers, for the tardiness of this post. This entry was actually 80% finished, but I went out of town and had (gasp) no email/internet access for days, so it was left incomplete, until now. The tapas tasting event at Bar Celona that I attended was actually a week ago, but [...]

Step inside this restored 1928 Spanish mission-style cottage, located on Riverside in Toluca Lake, and you might think you’ve been transported to somewhere in the exotic Spanish or Latin American countryside.

What To Eat On Venice Blvd. with Only $6 - Larco Mar Rotisserie Chicken

I started working in the Culver City/Palms/Mar Vista area about 4 months ago. I was stoked upon receiving the job offer because I knew I would have good eats. With places like Café Brasil, Versailles, Beacon and even Sawtelle Blvd. (for longer lunch breaks), this new job would prove beneficial to my tummy and wallet. [...]

Cobras & Matadors

Tuesday, December 6, 2005 19:11 16 Comments
