New Look, New Server, New Contributors
Thursday, May 1, 2008 7:03 1 CommentBecause I don’t have enough to keep me busy these days, I’m launching a redesign of la.foodblogging, and we have also moved servers!
We have been hosted at MediaTemple for a while now. They are a decent host, but the limitations they put on their gridserver accounts are confusing and their support response times were pretty [...]
Coupa Cafe ~ Beverly Hills
Friday, March 14, 2008 18:02 2 CommentsIt’s important to give restaurants a second and possibly third chance, just as it is with people. I tried Coupa Cafe twice when they first opened in Beverly Hills and wasn’t impressed. Early this week, my boyfriend and I were lamenting over how Beverly Hills needs a few better breakfast spots. Since he’d never been, [...]
LAMILL COFFEE CO.
Thursday, March 6, 2008 20:00 4 CommentsI finally meandered over to Silver Lake to experience the much talked about coffee boutique, LAMILL (pronounced lah-mill). This is not, let me repeat NOT, your average, cater to the masses, grab your daily cup o’ Joe and go coffee shop. No ladies and gentlemen, LAMILL takes the art of coffee to a pristine new [...]
Naraya ~ A Fresh Take on Thai
Saturday, January 5, 2008 16:07 2 CommentsI had driven by this tucked-away Thai place a hundred times, down S. Robertson, on my way to the 10 freeway.

Many lovers visit the legendary (albeit symbolic) balcony where Mr. Romeo lured Miss Juliet. I too tumbled into a great love affair while in Verona … with the fabulous food. I always assumed a [...]
Where Will You Be Eating Next Year?
Wednesday, November 28, 2007 11:26 17 CommentsYes, it’s a broad question, but there is a point.
I’m working on a project and I need a list of restaurants that you, me, your cousin and that guy down the street are planning on eating at next year. These could be old favorites, new arrivals or even places that you have been going [...]
Little Next Door

My mom was in town this past weekend and I took her to Little Next Door, the spawn of its popular parent restaurant, The Little Door. I went when they first opened and was very disappointed with both food and service but the ambiance is great! I am obsessed with the imperial violet blue and royal [...]
PR Push
Thursday, October 18, 2007 5:27 22 CommentsMaybe it’s the new fiscal quarter. Maybe my email address has been sold to a new list of PR companies. Maybe there are really some not-to-be-missed openings and events coming up. Whatever it is, I have been hit with a cavalcade of emails from PR companies lately. Just the other day, I received no fewer [...]
