Mario Batali Hates Food Blogs: An Article Every Food Blogger Should Read
2007-06-14 00:14:00
I just came across an article in Eater, “Why I hate Food Blogger s By Mario Batali #01″. After reading it, I kinda felt like I just got spanked. First, let me say that I love Mario Batali - I have loved him for years from what I saw of him on the Food ...

Los Angeles Fave Five Meme
2007-06-13 00:47:00
Shantanu at Traveller’s Tales tagged me on my very first meme - I even had to look up what that meant, because I had never heard of a meme before. I found a great article about memes on John Chow dot Com, which basically answered all of my questions. So, armed with the ...

Tongdang
2007-06-08 00:44:00
My husband is the sweetest guy in the whole world: after spending my whole day at work staring at financial reports, he took one look at me and said it was clear that I needed him to take me out to dinner. Awwww! Because he made such as nice gesture, I let him ...

Will the Brentwood Yogurt Cafe Survive Pinkberry???
2007-06-07 01:50:00
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am not a huge fan of frozen yogurt. But after a night of stuffing our faces with Thai food at Tongdang, my husband and I thought it would be prudent to consume a low-fat dessert. As we walked across the third floor of the Barrington ...

The Clay Pit
2007-06-06 07:21:00
The worst thing about coming home from a vacation is realizing that you have no food in the fridge. After our fantastic trip to Milwaukee and Madison, where we got to consume butter burgers, frozen custard, cheese curds, and plenty of beer, my husband and I came home to our stark pantry. We ...

Impatient for Pinkberry
2007-06-05 07:24:00
All I have been hearing about for the past few months has been Pinkberry . The buzz on this fro-yo (or “frozen faux-gurt” as Colleen Cuisine aptly named it after the potential lawsuit) has been out of control. I haven’t quite been able to force myself to stand in line at the West Hollywood ...

The Curd Known as Cheese
2007-05-31 23:55:00
During my most recent trip to Wisconsin , my friends and I were able to partake in one of my favorite (completely unhealthy) snacks: deep fried cheese curds. As the appetizer was passed around the table at Madison’s, it soon became apparent that none of us were well versed with what a cheese curd actually ...

Kopp?s
2007-05-30 00:32:00
Whenever I visit the homeland (a.k.a. Milwaukee, WI), I have to make my traditional pilgrimage to Kopp’s Frozen Custard Stand. To me, nothing says Milwaukee like a butter burger, fresh fries, a Sprecher root beer, and frozen custard. Okay, let’s stop right there because I just said two words that people outside of Wisconsin cringe ...

Who Paper? What Paper? Soy Paper!
2007-05-23 23:35:00
In my recent posts about sushi , I have mentioned how my husband hates nori seaweed, and always prefers to substitute it with soy paper. Before I met him, I had never even heard of soy paper before. But, as it turns out, many sushi restaurants offer it as a substitute, or even ...

TAKAO
2007-05-22 21:35:00
I guess that I am pretty lucky to be able to say that I live within walking distance of three sushi restaurants. I call them The Good, The Bad, and The Trendy. I have already posted about Taiko, the cheapest (and worst) of the three, aka, “The Bad”. If you read that ...

The Apple Pan
2007-05-15 02:56:00
If you have ever wondered what Los Angeles was like in the 1950s, spend some time at the counter of the Apple Pan. There are no gimmicks here: no jukeboxes blasting 50s music; no poodle-skirt-clad, wanna-be-actor waitresses. However, this might be the only place in the entire city that hasn’t changed since it ...

Sobadokoro Taiko
2007-05-12 00:54:00
My husband and I are lucky enough to live with walking distance of many restaurants. For those of you familiar with Los Angeles , you know that the term “walking distance” is rare, so we like to take advantage of our near-by establishments. Three of these are, amazingly, sushi restaurants. I have decided ...

Don Antonio?s
2007-05-11 05:39:00
Saturday was Cinco de Mayo, which celebrates 4,000 Mexican soldiers defeating the French and traitor Mexican troops of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico on May 5, 1862. So, of course I had to have a margarita (or two) at Don Antonio ’s, a popular Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles . Don Antonio’s has everything a good Angeleno like myself ...
