Classic Eats #12: Save The Date!
Golly, recovering from the Very Special Classic East Blog-a-Thon at Canters, followed not long after by Donut Summit took a bit longer than I thought it would! My waistline and cholesterol levels notwithstanding, it’s time to get back to Classic Eats! Mark your calendars for... »
Where to Eat On the Trek Up the 5
Believe me, the drive on the 5 is a food desert. I know, because I love Burning Man, San Francisco and have numerous friends and family in the Northern part of CA, so end up driving north a couple of times a year. It’s a... »
Languid LA Summer Nights
One of the sweetest things about a 98 degree day like today in Los Angeles, is the cool night that follows. Just when I thought I couldn’t take the fiery heat anymore… the sun set and a cool breeze blew in. It was time to... »

Down by the river
Who says California doesn’t have seasons? For the month of April, we had our fair share of Spring storms. Mother Nature has also made wet weather somewhat convenient for folks who had outdoor plans for the weekend. After listening to thunder crashing outside of the newsroom, I found my car dusted with hail. By the end... »
New Twist On Classic Dish
After a long soft open, presumably to iron out any kinks, Mac & Cheeza is finally having their Grand Opening tonight at 5:30pm. Get downtown and get your mac on! For the last couple of months owners Larkin Mackey (of the eponymous Larkin’s in Eagle Rock) & Joshua McBride have been getting great pre-opening press... »
Nick’s Seashore Restaurant
We had been visiting up around the Strawberry area (101 and Seminary Dr.) yesterday. Coming back over the Golden Gate we kept commenting on how beautiful the city, the bay, and the ocean were. We decided to keep moving down the coast. By the time we found ourselves in Pacifica we were ready for... »
Favorite Falafel
Long ago when I was in college, I had a summer job selling falafel. This does not make me an expert but gives me enough experience to have an opinion on this delicious Middle Eastern fast food. I either eat falafel just as I used to serve it – in a pita... »

Mission Street Food needs backers
A few days ago Mission Mission broke the news that Mission Street Food, the weekly happening where a chef takes over a crummy little Chinese takeout kitchen and produces a strange and wonderful gourmet meal, is getting its own place, to be called Commonwealth. But it’s not all in place. They are looking for... »
My Saturday in the Patty Wagon
One of the ubiquitous gourmet food trucks to hit the LA streets recently is Patty Wagon, which boasts sustainable, 100% grass fed beef hamburgers and hand cut fries made from organic potatoes. This past Saturday, I found them parked across the street from the Silver Lake Farmer’s Market and decided to check out the... »
Help Future Nurses Help You!
For those out there who don’t know, I’m in nursing school. In fact I’m in my final semester! w00t! I got here thanks to some great instructors and some fantastic equipment that our department purchases for us to learn with. Due to the fact that there is a severe budget crisis, we don’t have... »
