(For those who are not familiar with DineLA, it’s a two-week period where some restaurants offer a prix fixe menu at a lower [...]

Please Support Good Food and KCRW

Saturday, January 31, 2009 22:28 3 Comments

It’s that time of year. The time of year when KCRW has their pledge drive and most of us tune around the dial for something else to listen to during the pledge breaks.

$100 Dinner for Two is a Recession Concession?

Friday, March 21, 2008 7:44 6 Comments

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.
