Flock of Food Trucks: L.A. Street Food Fest

Tired of chasing the food truck of the moment all over town? Wish you could sample things from multiple trucks for a smorgasbord? Does your favorite food truck never come by your work, no more?
Never fear, because a couple of native Angelenos (yes, they exist) have brought the entire Los Angeles food truck movement together [...]

Vegan Desserts A Delight Around LA

Los Angeles is a perfect city in which to eat – whether it entails having access to the cuisines of countless ethnicities or healthful options that honor our moral obligations. There’s a tricky thing, however, about desserts for vegans – most of which incorporate butters, understandably, into their recipes. LA vegans have reason to rejoice, [...]

Inspired Sustenance At Lazy Ox Canteen

It can’t be the easiest time to open a restaurant. While everyone else downsizes, Josef Centeno and Michael Cardenas take the opportunity to fill a niche in Little Tokyo. The aim would be to create a neighborhood canteen. That is, a watering hole with inventive yet casual plates at which you could count on to be [...]

I am always a sucker for seafood. So when I was invited to join Caroline on Crack, Maya of ShopEatSleep and Lindsay of LAist to feast on – what else? – I was all in. Never mind that it was the same day as Great Chefs of LA. I [...]

Delicious Drago Centro Cocktails $8 Tomorrow

Caroline on Crack and Twitterland have been a-buzz with Drago’s special Thursday. So if you don’t already know, tomorrow their entire Nuovi Classico (new classics) cocktail menu – normally $12 – will be available for $8 per drink. Yesterday (Tuesday), was when the menu debuted. On H.C. of LA-OC-Foodie’s and my way to a Whiskey [...]

Monday Lunch at Rowdy Red Burger Bar

For all the downtown L.A. burger lovers, you’ll have even more reason to try Rowdy Red Wine & Burger Bar (previous write-up). Every Monday is the “Dine at Your Desk” program whereby you can call in your lunch order and it will be ready for you to pick up at the restaurant. But this isn’t [...]

Tomato Tour With Patina

One night. One group of restaurants. And one fruit vegetable (argue at will).
I enjoy tomatoes probably more than the next person yet was skeptical – multiple courses all featuring tomatoes? I could see the tour was to be taken seriously as the tomato growers themselves (from Coastal [...]

Downtown Burgers On The Cheap At Rowdy Red

This is one for the downtown folk. If your commute or residence lands in you in the business center of LA – otherwise known as the absolute worst visitor parking situation (read: most expensive) in Southern California on a workday – you may want to save a few bucks eating at Rowdy Red Wine & [...]

Su CASA Downtown

I don’t work downtown but if I did, I might consider CASA more readily as a potential hang-out spot. The restaurant invited us bloggers to an evening of drinks, tasty treats and merriment on them. They were attentive to us and didn’t disappoint.
The treats (yes, they were bite-sized and were eaten off small plates) rolled [...]
