I had a thought the other day. Let’s assume that the economy gets bad. I mean really bad. So bad that many of your local specialty food providers went out of business. I really, really hope that this isn’t the case.
Again, let’s assume that it does get that bad. What would you stockpile? What would [...]

Last year my feelings about Indian food went from 0-10 in a matter of one week. Prior to that time, I ignorantly assumed all Indian food was “covered in curry,” which was, in my mind, a thick, pungent green sauce I’d tried in Australia and quite disliked.

Don’t worry, this isn’t going to become a baby blog. Obviously, my life is consumed with the little one right now, so that’s what is on my mind.
We actually haven’t made it out to a restaurant yet with the baby, but we do have plans to make a sushi run this week.

I’m not completely wowed by the menus offered during DineLA Restaurant Week. Browsing the list of participating restaurants, I’m not totally convinced that you’re getting much of a deal at a lot of places.
There are a few joints that seem to be offering deep discounts. This is assuming that the dishes served during restaurant [...]

My wife and I have a fun mission, in more ways than one. We’re expecting our first baby in April and among the adjustments we are sure to make is a little less fine dining. Before the baby comes, the mission is to hit up places that aren’t so kid friendly. A marathon of fine [...]
