Electric Karma ~ Exotic Ambiance
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. Eventually a friend convinced me to try Electric [...]
First Week of Infant Dining
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.
We have [...]
Part III Casual Spots - Pre-Infant Dining Report
Part I and Part II of the Pre-Infant Dining report covered a range of spots. This report concentrates on some of the more casual spots we hit Pre-Infant. We are more likely to hit these spots with the baby, for comfort and budget reasons.
Asahi Ramen
I like the curry ramen, she likes the wonton ramen. For [...]
Part II: Pre-Infant Dining Report
Continuing on the previous report on our Pre-Infant dining tour, here is Part II.
Sushi Karen
Yes, we did go to sushi during the pregnancy, although my wife stuck with mostly cooked stuff like the tempura rolls and some eel. I can say with 110% certainty that we will be going to Sushi Karen post-infant. In fact, [...]
$100 Dinner for Two is a Recession Concession?
As 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 [...]
DineLA Restaurant Week - Which is the Best Bargain?
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 [...]
Pre-Infant Dining?
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 [...]
2008 - The Year of the Soup
I am making a declaration. 2008 will be the Year of the Soup.
It is my belief that soup is the most overlooked dish in the kitchen, and even more so on a restaurant’s menu. For 2008, it is my mission to bring soup to the forefront of your palate. I love soup, I love [...]
