Kang Kang is a Can Can

Monday, November 8, 2010 22:54 14 Comments

One of my friends thought I was nuts when I suggested we meet at Kang Kang Food Court for a late lunch. He went on to explain to our other friend that he went to Kang Kang a few times back in his college days. Apparently, back then, the place was known for [...]

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?!
Well, it didn’t completely suck, but it certainly [...]

Foundry on Melrose – late night groovy dining

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 13:04 7 Comments

When you are a critic (theatre, film, food, art etc) you generally have to see movies and plays during the dinner hour. I am a big fan of post-show suppers, but unfortunately in this show-biz town the kitchens of most of the decent restos shut down around 10pm, right when the newest remake or [...]

Pho 999 - pretty lame…

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 13:40 10 Comments

Okay, I am no pho (pronounced “fah”) expert, but I do know that the broth should be quite clear.
Cloudy broth, such as the bland dishwater served at Pho 999, simply does not cut it.
Phor those who don’t know, pho is a Vietnamese soup, similar to Japanese ramen or soba, that is usually served with beef [...]

Blanc Haute Yogurt

Anyone who has been reading my posts over the years should know by now that I enjoy my desserts. So it should be no surprise that when I was invited to attend a party at Blanc, an upscale frozen yogurt boutique in Beverly Hills, I would definitely be there. Walking in, I found [...]

Huckleberry

Friday, July 30, 2010 17:10 5 Comments

I was reminded yesterday of why I love Huckleberry. For those who haven’t been yet, Huckleberry is a bakery, cafe, and caterer all in one. As soon as you walk in, you’ll see a line formed around the counter, usually so long that the end is near the back door. This isn’t [...]

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 [...]
