Electric Karma ~ Exotic Ambiance

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.

Spice Basil

When 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. [...]

LAMILL COFFEE CO.

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 [...]

That idea didn’t quite catch on.
I have transformed Cheww. Now, it is a spam-free foodblog search engine.
What does that [...]

I’ve been eating a lot of curry these past couple of days. The recipe used is a little different from the one I typically use, so I wanted to check it again on the net. I thought I’d look up a few other curry recipes while I was at it and found something [...]

The Main Page now aggregates the sub-topics, showing the latest posts to each topic
Topic pages, like Los Angeles, now allow for user submissions. This is specifically for bloggers who write about broader [...]

New Digesty.com - Want a Preview?

You may or may not know, but my other project is Digesty, (Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Candy, Wine). It’s a place where you can scan headlines from food-topic specific blogs.
I have been working on a new version of Digesty, with the aim of making it faster, simpler and more useful. Part of [...]
