Electric Karma ~ Exotic Ambiance
Saturday, May 24, 2008 11:46 1 CommentLast 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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Thursday, March 6, 2008 20:00 5 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. Late one night I was craving a new, close-to-home (BH) Thai experience so I meandered into Naraya and was pleasantly surprised. The tiny space possessed a casual, Zen elegance and the food was both unique [...]
Ristorante Donatella ~ Rancho Mirage
Sunday, December 2, 2007 0:35 7 CommentsHave you ever been to Verona? The ancient city, nestled in Northern Italy, is the setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. 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 [...]
