I’ve been pretty excited about Terroni opening, ever since I saw their menu. Authentic Cafe, which used to be in the same location, was a regular dinner/drinks place for me and the void was noticable once it was closed and the new restaurant was under construction.
Now it’s open, and I have wasted no time evaluating [...]

I wouldn’t call myself a hot chocolate expert, per se, but I would definitely say I am a hot chocolate afficionado…
Mere sematics.
I know what I like when I try it, but I cannot say I’ve sampled all the best the world has to offer.
But I have certainly given it my best shot!
At Angelina, [...]

Celadon is a beautiful restaurant and bar/lounge that offers a unique experience. This is definitely the kind of romantic venue you could take someone special to, though the menu is actually skewed towards shared plates, hence ideal for groups of 4-5 or more.
Adjacent to the main bar are a few lounge rooms, [...]

Hoagies and Wings
1544 S. La Cienega Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90035
I guess I’ve been on a sandwich kick recently. On the way to catch a quick flick at the Beverly Center, my friends and I didn’t want to risk someplace that might take too long. Hoagies and Wings was conveniently on the way to the theater [...]

Having been to England, I have often marveled at how much different their cuisine is from anything I’ve had. Perhaps it due to the lack of spices used, which generates a much more natural flavor. Additionally, the ingredients don’t have much variation. Being someone who loves different styles of food as well [...]

The first time we went to Lucques (several months ago, after a movie) we ate at the bar. We sat right in the corner, which was squeezy but okay, and afforded us the opportunity to people-watch, rather than having our backs to the room. Right there is a blackboard with their bartender’s cocktail of [...]

One of the people I know at work is from Brazil.
During one afternoon, we were having some idle chit chat and I asked her if there were places in Los Angeles she likes to go for the Brazilian flavor.
She immediately mentioned Fogo De Chao but just as quickly added it was very expensive! She [...]
