Some of LA’s best new Italian food is hiding in the back room of this Santa Monica sandwich shop…
Sort of fast food fairly lame dim sum with terrible service. Sigh. The location is good so I wish they’d gotten it right…
If a major new “made to order” dimsum place is opening, we are of course there to try it!
One of my best meals yet at one of LA’s few remaining gastronomic temples…
August seems to be a month where I’m being dragged to a couple of New World wine events — and not being convinced…
A fourth great meal at Majordomo. This place not only has amazing food but its super wine (and gelato) friendly…
It’s great to see at least TWO different higher end super spicy Chongqing Hot Pot chains in the SGV — these are ultimate in legit spicy hot pot…
Two epic crawls in one week! 6 Chinese restaurants in one afternoon. Over 35 dishes for 8 people! All in the same plaza!
All day, 6 spot exploration of Vietnamese treasures down south in the Garden Grove / Westminster area…
A second amazing meal at Christophe Emé’s new place… but sadly, if you haven’t gone by now, you will have to catch the chef at his next venture!
An amazing afternoon of great Bordeaux and great eats…
Herring, salmon, perogies, stuffed cabbage, oh my!
In case you crave a giant pile of almost raw wagyu served with a raw egg…
It’s been years, maybe even 10 years, since I was at LA classic Italian Angelini Osteria — so it’s time to return and write it up…
Perhaps my first time ever trying yak!
Traditional Peruvian cuisine hiding in Glendale…
Seafood on the beach makes for a final meal of the trip…
A restaurant I thought would be too “international” ended up having the dish of the trip (family style lamb)…
Onza is a hip spot serving up modern Turkish dishes with an emphasis on mezze, pide, etc…
We accidentally ended up at this business lunch kind of steak house…
