Susina Bakery - You Get What You Dessert

Sunday, July 13, 2008 22:13 7 Comments

Back when I was out in the frozen tundra, I received a phone call from one of my friends in L.A. He had a food emergency. He was going to a birthday party and needed the “best cheesecake in L.A.” Without hesitation, I told him to get to Susina Bakery ASAP and [...]

Prana Café — Studio City

Monday, June 2, 2008 20:40 No Comments

A sister restaurant to the one on La Cienega, and situated beneath Romanov Restaurant, Prana Café is a welcome addition to Studio City (even if some of us miss the Albano’s Pizzeria place it supplanted).
Indoor seating is along the west wall, opposite the closed in but windowed kitchen, is reminiscent of the old Out Take [...]

MILK open house

In a rather savvy cross-promotion (actually, a no-brainer, when you think about it…) the delightful ice-cream parlor and café on Beverly, Milk, teamed up with the Got Milk? people (namely, the Cali Milk Processor Board) to host an open house last night.
I spotted a handful of fellow bloggers, including the gorgeous Kristy of [...]

Hotel Dining — The Park Grill at the Intercontinental

I occasionally like to imbibe a cocktail or dine in a hotel. It feels extra glamorous and I can pretend I’m a traveller in a foreign land. So when a visiting friend suggested we meet for lunch at the Hotel Intercontinental, on Avenue of the Stars, [...]

Tapas in Tarzana

In keeping with la.foodblogging’s recent focus on the Valley (sorry, Westsiders!) I am thrilled to be writing about one of the best little finds of late.

Tarzana has a lovely European-style café restaurant that is one of the best kept secrets in the Valley. The only reason I am telling you about it because I want [...]

Hatfields - WOW!

Thursday, April 17, 2008 11:11 9 Comments

Hatfields was incredible.
Just incredible.
I mean, I went with really high expectations and not only were they met, but exceeded.
Backstory: Hatfields has been high on my hit list for well over a year. We just hadn’t made it until now (we’re not eating out as often as we used to or as much as [...]

Coupa Cafe ~ Beverly Hills

Friday, March 14, 2008 18:02 2 Comments

It’s important to give restaurants a second and possibly third chance, just as it is with people. I tried Coupa Cafe twice when they first opened in Beverly Hills and wasn’t impressed. Early this week, my boyfriend and I were lamenting over how Beverly Hills needs a few better breakfast spots. Since he’d never been, [...]

LAMILL COFFEE CO.

Thursday, March 6, 2008 20:00 4 Comments

I finally meandered over to Silver Lake to experience the much talked about coffee boutique, LAMILL (pronounced lah-mill). This is not, let me repeat NOT, your average, cater to the masses, grab your daily cup o’ Joe and go coffee shop. No ladies and gentlemen, LAMILL takes the art of coffee to a pristine new [...]
