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 [...]

Just over three years ago we had our first post. Since then we have had a bevy of contributors who have donated their time and efforts to bring a constant stream of restaurant reviews, discoveries and tips to our fantastic readers.
We are nearing our 1,000th post, which should happen sometime in late May. Over [...]

Because 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 [...]

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 [...]

Yes, 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 [...]
