Bears and Hot Dogs at the LA Zoo

Sunday, June 14, 2009 16:37 3 Comments

Last week the Los Angeles Zoo staged an event that promised the following:
Several top LA chefs will feed the black bears while we hacks will get to munch on Pinks (famous) hot dogs.
What is wrong with this picture?!?!?
Well, considering I’ve lived in LA for over a decade and had never even tried [...]

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 [...]

Oinkster: Once Bitten, Twice Fried

Tuesday, November 25, 2008 13:43 4 Comments

We have a special place in our hearts for The Oinkster, Andre Guerrero’s masterpiece of “slow fast food” on trendy Colorado Blvd. in Eagle Rock (and one of Jonathan Gold’s 99 Essential LA restaurants in 2008).
Part of this is Pinoy Pride: as the celebrated owner and chef of Max, Senor Fred, and Oinkster, Guerrero is [...]

After learning from Daily Candy and Chowhound about this hot new watering hole in my ’hood (that had replaced the rather cool Sapphire lounge) we strolled over to Laurel Tavern one Thursday, just over a week ago, to see what the fuss was about.
We sauntered in around 6.30pm [...]

Groovy Times at Jazz Cat Cafe

On the corner of Valley and 7th in Alhambra is a restaurant that usually has a line out the door by 7pm daily. You wouldn’t know it by the name, but Jazz Cat Cafe is the place to go for some good hot pot. There is a slight twist. This is not [...]

MILK open house

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 13:27 6 Comments

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 [...]

Jingo - Japanese BBQ in Encino

Monday, May 19, 2008 9:57 No Comments

It was Saturday night, a few weeks back, around 9:30, when I first visited Jingo to try their Japanese BBQ.  I’ll be blunt, by initial impression was mixed, at best.
Jingo is the new incarnation of Gochi, and my first thought was that the latest proprietors have taken the decor from “Mom and Pop” to casual [...]
