Nobu Reinvents Tapas Menu With Omakase Option in Bar & Lounge

Perhaps you’re in the neighborhood but not in the mood to commit for the night. You want bites, not entrees – and were thinking something more elegant than bar food: The Nobu bar or lounge might be the perfect place to stop. They’ve recently made some additions to their already-popular menu – like Uni Dry [...]

Pizza Fusion Hollywood Is Fresh and Delicious

I never met a soul who didn’t like pizza (even my cheese-hating ex eats more pizza than anyone I know). And though I may have grown up but an hour from Chicago, I could never get into deep dish. If the toppings are great, I’m going to want to consume more square inches of that [...]

Petrossian WeHo: Where We Go For Comfort

My girlfriend and I had a reservation at Petrossian WeHo on the last day of Dine LA. It was my long overdue date with Petrossian and it ended up falling on a day El Nino came out to play. Light rain, grey skies, black umbrellas and puddles on the ground as we zig-zagged into the Robertson boutique.
We [...]

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.

All the Indulgences at Petrossian’s Industry Night

On my first visit to Petrossian on Robertson, the famed boutique of renowned caviar and a one-stop-spot for diners with tastes more sophisticated than and unfazed by the star power of The Ivy, it happened to be Industry Night. It was a night meant to familiarize Petrossian with the heavyweights in the LA culinary scene and [...]

Il Sole Menu Goes Rustic on Sunset

There are few, if any, restaurants on Sunset Blvd. I’d unbegrudgingly point visitors to. If they were looking for a home-cooked Italian meal – in Los Angeles, of all places – I might even suggest getting a Chicago or New York visit on the calendar. Il Sole is a place that would surprise anyone in [...]

Veggie Grill: Delicious and Healthful on the Cheap

I have to admit. The world of ”veggie people” food is a pretty unfamiliar study to me. Though the omni- in my omnivorous eating habit hasn’t had incentive to explore that direction, it hasn’t affected my respect for the dedication to sustainability and conservation.
