Mom & Pop Markets - the best way to shop

Friday, May 30, 2008 8:58 8 Comments

For me, one integral aspect of the joy of cooking, and eating, is the part that comes before. Finding that perfect recipe, or honing in on that dish that’s going satisfy the craving you’ve been having for days, is where the fun begins.
Then comes the part where you write the list and set out [...]

New to the Westside: FOOD

So I haven’t actually had a full meal at this place yet, but based on my first short experience with it, I think it looks very promising, and I want to spread the word to help these people out.
I was going to Kay n’ Dave’s with a couple of friends tonight, and we parked [...]

LAMILL COFFEE CO.

Thursday, March 6, 2008 20:00 5 Comments

I 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 [...]

Love + Valentine’s = Cheese

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 14:11 7 Comments

It’s no secret how much I love cheese. I also love my local cheese emporium, The Artisan Cheese Gallery in Studio City.
Apparently plenty of cheese aficionados make frequent pilgrimages to this temple of buttermilky delights. One of their bestsellers is Coach Triple Creme Goat from New York cheese maker Coach Farm (apparently the same [...]

Seafood City Supermarket - Fish Roulette

Saturday, November 10, 2007 21:19 No Comments

When it comes to fish, I usually hit a Whole Foods, Bristol Farm or Fish King (in Glendale).
However, the reality is that these upscale markets only offer a limited number of the most popular fish like salmon, halibut, trout and a few others. Nonetheless, you can be assured of excellent fresh fish.
But, if you [...]

African Marketplace & Cultural Fair

It isn’t the most well publicized event around town. I’ve been to it twice in the last few years. Some years, it sneaks by without me noticing it.
Anyway, if you have got some time on your hands and an interest for the cultural flavor of Los Angeles, be sure to check out the [...]

Artisan Cheese Gallery - outstanding cheeses in Studio City

Friday, July 13, 2007 16:23 19 Comments

I love cheese. No, wait - I adore cheese. I don’t mean that rubbery, bland molten and stringy stuff you generally find on pizzas, nor that weird orange stuff you find melted inside a quesadilla. Don’t offer me a highly processed slice of square, plastic-wrapped plastic ‘cheese’ unless you want to [...]

Carne Asada de Aqui es Oaxaca

Monday, June 18, 2007 19:05 3 Comments

When I’m hosting a BBQ, few things have the bang for the buck that Carne Asada has. It’s easy to cook. It smells good on the grill. It has flavor. It’s beef. It’s cheap.
In all honesty, I don’t think I have ever had bad Carne Asada from my grill. Therefore, I feel pretty confident strolling [...]
