Do you have a regular 9-5 that makes you unable to make it to the daytime weekday farmer’s market in the neighborhood? Looking for an outdoor rendezvous with a view that makes it possible to simultaneously support local growers and vendors? Never considered farmer’s markets especially romantic (well – why would you)?

It may have been another Friday night in Hollywood, but instead of cozying up home with an episode of Law & Order stored on my DVR I was actually out on the town, relieved that there weren’t any insane crowds to brave. So far. It was my first in-person peek at The W Hollywood – open [...]
It was a special night at The Foundry on Melrose, and the occasion would be my long-delayed first visit to the restaurant. After all, this is where a lot of the LA comfort food scene originated – Chef Eric Greenspan (2008 Grilled Cheese Invitational winner and once-Iron Chef contestant) plans to open a grilled cheese-only [...]

Never mind Saturday nights in Hollywood. Now there’s a good reason to be in Hollywood on Sunday mornings. Valerie Confections are now bringing their treats to the Hollywood Farmer’s Market.
Think tea cakes in flavors like Meyer Lemon, Tangerine, and Almond. Or Chocolate Truffle Torte mini cakes. Feeling like herbed shortbread? They come in flavors like Rosemary and Lemon & [...]

This past weekend, I had the unique opportunity to attend a Papabubble candy-making workshop at Ojai Valley Inn & Spa. After doing some online research, I learned that the only Papabubble shop in the U.S. is in New York City – Little Italy, to be exact – so I couldn’t wait to see the demonstration. [...]

Never fear, because a couple of native Angelenos (yes, they exist) have brought the entire Los Angeles food truck movement together [...]
