Divine Providence (Is that too cliche?)
Friday, April 11, 2008 14:09 3 CommentsMy husband and I managed to survive being married for six years recently, and we decided to celebrate that momentous occasion by going to Providence and feasting like kings and queens. 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 6 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 6 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.

PARC ~ Hollywood
Saturday, September 22, 2007 14:07 5 CommentsLA loves all things deemed “trendy.” Parc combines many past and present trends, in hopes LA will show it more love than the previous restaurant that opened here, BlackSteel. French Asian fusion served tapas style, caviar/champagne menus, urban eco-friendly ambiance, and a stunning bar area, are all under one roof just waiting for the approval [...]
Celadon — an exquisite experience
Thursday, March 29, 2007 15:21 4 CommentsCeladon 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, [...]

Friday, March 23, 2007 10:45 13 CommentsI think that a trip to the Third and Fairfax Farmer’s Market is in my future, perhaps as soon as tonight. Some may think of the market as a glorified food court, but there are some delectable finds.
