She said, he said about XIV

On my birthday this year, the BF treated me to dinner at a place we’ve been meaning to go to for a while: XIV. The last time we tried to dine there, we were unsuccessful because even though their site said they were open that Sunday night, they weren’t. This time, we made [...]

Sapp Coffee Shop’s Famous Thai Boat Noodles

The Hunger drove me to Sapp Coffee Shop for lunch on a Friday afternoon [...]

8oz Burger Bar

Friday, March 6, 2009 23:46 10 Comments

8oz Burger Bar is yet another contender in the burger+beer category that has been hyped by places like Father’s Office. Unlike Father’s Office, the burgers here are highly customizable. The beer selection may not be as good, but it’s a small price to pay for not having to deal with the burger nazi.

DineLA - Vermont

One of my friends is a huge fan of Kiefer Sutherland’s. She heard that he has frequented Vermont, which happened to be one of the restaurants participating in DineLA week.

Hatfields - WOW!

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 [...]
