The Yard - A True Gastropub
I know it's been some time since my last post. Truth be told, I haven't really found a good place to write about lately. Either the food just missed the mark or the food was great but the service left much to be desired. I was starting to wonder if I would ever get to foodblog again, and then last night happened. I walked into The Yard. I was ( Read more... ) -
Jazz Cat Redux
I am about to break one of my personal foodblogging rules. With so many great restaurants in L.A., I have always refused to redo a restaurant review. I might go back and add notes in the comments section, but once I post something, that's it... until now.
A little over a year ago, I posted on Jazz Cat Cafe, which I really enjoyed. Not too long ( Read more... ) -
Life is like a box of produce...
A month and a half ago, I wrote about attending Extravaganza for the Senses. One of the booths there was a new organic produce delivery service. Now, I've heard of these services, and it seemed very convenient, but I was always a little turned off by price. Then I talked to Farm Fresh To You. They are a no commitment, free delivery service, and ( Read more... ) -
Extravaganza for the Senses
Yesterday, I went to the 20th Century Fox Studios Lot for the 12th Annual Extravaganza for the Senses. For those who might not be aware of this event, various restaurants, wineries, and beverage companies come together to help raise money for The Saban Free Clinic. Before I go into details about food, I just want to say that there are ( Read more... ) -
DineLA - Royal/T Cafe
I am a total geek. I work for a video game company. My desk is covered in gaming magazines and mangas. I might know more about anime than I do about food. It is no surprise to my friends that I am familiar with some of the trends in Asia, such as maid cafes. Maid cafes started in Akihabara, a major shopping area in Tokyo, Japan. For those who ( Read more... ) -
DineLA - Vermont
One of my friends is a huge fan of Kiefer Sutherland's. She heard that he has frequented Vermont, which happened to be one of the restaurants participating in DineLA week. (For those who are not familiar with DineLA, it's a two-week period where some restaurants offer a prix fixe menu at a lower rate than their standard menu.) So when she ( Read more... ) -
Journey to Jerne
Okay, so remember how a couple months ago, I wrote that I wouldn't be doing any fine dining reviews for a long while? Yeah, that's not going to last. It all started with my uncle. He mailed over some gift certificates for The Ritz Carlton, and it just so happens, Jerne, which is located at The Ritz, accepts them. This is the perfect excuse to ( Read more... ) -
Defeated by Melisse...
As some of you have noticed, about once a year, I write about some extravagant dining experience. Well, it's that time again. Once upon a time, I went to Melisse and did the carte blanche, which basically means the chef chooses what will be served. I recalled that there were about 9 wonderful courses. Things have changed. Last night, I found ( Read more... )
