I have been up to the Skirball Center twice. Once with my dad to see the Einstein Exhibit and once with my mom to see the Noah’s Ark installation. Both times, I timed the visit so that we could eat at the Zeidler’s Cafe.
I’m a sucker for museum cafes in general. Maybe they just [...]

Joe’s has a bit of a special place in my heart stomach. Joe’s was actually one of the first meals I ever blogged, back when I had a purely personal blog (now defunct). Joe’s was one of the first higher end spots I ate at after moving to LA and since then I have had [...]

I haven’t ever really “live blogged” a meal before, but I am here at the Bergamot Cafe with my laptop and a meal, so why not?

Mom: After a bit of discussion with our resident gourmet advisors on Sunday afternoon, it was decided that we would venture over to [...]

I had heard mixed reviews, which is the best way to get me to try [...]

I I spent this past Sunday exploring the culinary offerings at the Great Tastes in Brentwood festival. About 20 restaurants in and around Brentwood set up booths that boast some of their signature fare. It’s only $2.00 to enter the event and then you purchase “scrip” to taste the food … 1 scrip is $2.00 [...]

Don’t know about you but I had to ask someone what the flag on the left of the flyer was for. Yes, I’m a typically geopolitically challenged American.
Most of us know the flag on the right as belonging to the United Kingdom. The one on the left is for England.
I’m also told [...]
