Tuesday, April 14, 2009 8:01 6 CommentsSushi has become identified with ‘hip’, ‘in’, ‘trendy’…. Sadly to the point where it will soon be moving aside for the next wave of ‘exotic’ food for property owners to rape every penny out of. I know this review has started out poorly, perhaps I’m cynical or maybe observant.
This past Saturday I dined with a [...]
Katsuya.Hollywood
Friday, April 3, 2009 8:51 7 CommentsL and I decided to go on a date in Hollywood, again, to the shhh..famous (shamous for now on) restaurant, Katsuya. Hailed as “The new glam sushi restaurant” by the LA Times and lusted after by Los Angeles Magazine. The sushi restaurant is first and foremost, a place to be noticed. A place for people to [...]
8oz Burger Bar
Friday, March 6, 2009 23:46 11 Comments8oz Burger Bar is yet another contender in the burger+beer category that has been hyped by places like Father’s Office.

This was the second time we had been to Providence and so far both meals have been some of the best I have ever [...]
$100 Dinner for Two is a Recession Concession?
Friday, March 21, 2008 7:44 7 CommentsAs I have said before, I get a lot of PR emails for restaurants and events around town. I’m not special, most foodbloggers are on the same lists I am.
One email did catch my eye this week. From a PR company, I got a cleverly titled email, “Recession Concessions at Table 8″. Hm, sounds [...]
The Waffle
Sunday, March 16, 2008 17:06 7 CommentsAs a frequent moviewatcher at the Arclight, and shopper at Amoeba, I am always interested in new options for food to eat in the area that are not too expensive. A place where you can get breakfast/lunch is especially ideal, since there are only so many times you can sit outside of Roscoe’s for an [...]
