Though the name and graphics make you think you’re walking into a kebab shop, in reality, Bashan serves up fantastic contemporary global cuisine in an intimate setting nestled in one of Los Angeles’ most under-appreciated districts.

This entry is dedicated to fans of Sushi Today. I was extremely depressed last year to find my favorite sushi restaurant closed permanently. Where was I going to go for my spicy seared albacore? Apparently, nowhere. I found a couple more sushi places that had this on their menu, but they [...]

6918 San Fernando Rd., Glendale 91201
Lunch: $10/person; Dinner: under $20/person

It’s been a little while since I’ve been to a restaurant and I ordered BBQ baby back ribs - one of my favorites to make on my own. (The next time I grill out, I’ll post the recipe on here.) And little did I know that when I went to Glendale last weekend to meet [...]
