sugarFISH - Sweeter Than Nozawa
Friday, August 22, 2008 21:35 3 CommentsA few days ago, I went to celebrate a friend’s birthday. He is an avid fan of Sushi Nozawa. In fact, he was the one who took me there for my birthday last year. For his birthday, he said he wanted to try a new place, sugarFISH… by Sushi Nozawa. [...]
Madeleine Bistro - Tarzana
Saturday, June 7, 2008 9:50 3 CommentsI’m a carnivore, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. A leg of lamb, studded with garlic? Delicious. A juicy steak, cooked to a perfect medium rare? I’m in. But, in the end, I’m a food lover. Period. I love all food, and my only criteria, truly? It’s got to taste good. So when I [...]
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.

I spotted a handful of fellow bloggers, including the gorgeous Kristy of [...]
Musha (Santa Monica)
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 0:23 3 CommentsI had dinner at Musha, an izakaya in Santa Monica, recently and wanted to highlight some or our favorites on the menu. The place is small and gets pretty crowded at night so we made a reservation a day or so beforehand just so we didn’t have to wait thirty to sixty minutes for [...]
Spice Basil
Monday, May 12, 2008 23:52 No CommentsWhen I was a kid, I ate in Alhambra fairly frequently. There was one restaurant in particular that I went to. I can’t recall the name of it or how the food was. I really only remember it because it was an art deco building, which stood out for that area. [...]
