Northern Cafe Temple City is actually kinda incredible — not what you would think at all…
A narrowly focused but really brilliant little pizza bar. Too bad it’s not open for lunch.
After about a year of pestering, I finally agreed to drive down to Garden Grove with Yarom for some Korean spicy beef ribs…
An amazing meal at Crustacean with an incredible range of wines and a perfect custom menu…
Some awesome Chinese Islamic eats — worth passing on the wine…
Interesting Indonesian market that serves takeout food as well..
Perhaps LA’s “highest end” Indian restaurant with a very interesting take on both the cuisine of the subcontinent and on thematic menu design…
Overall, some very good Thai — LA has so many of them!
This place is just weird. And far. It’s not bad. But it’s weird.
Not all clubs are created equal…
One of several Gaja focused dinners this year…
Thai Tour often drags us far and wide in search of Southern California’s best Thai…
Always hard to find a good high end brunch buffet…
Some solid valley Indian deep deep in the valley…
The regular Spring trip to OOToro for some awesome omakase…
I’ve been to Longo MANY times, both for lunch and dinner, but one of our friends who knows the owner set up this special off menu hot pot dinner — normally they don’t have hot pot at all.
A survey of our hotel breakfasts (and one snack)…
Some incredible Southwestern/Latin/Mexican flavors at this Santa Fe gem…
This Santa Fe institution seems wildly overrated…
Some pretty decent Spanish tapas high in the dessert plateau…
