Oh My Poki – Little Tokyo
Poke bowls are so mainstream now it’s ridiculous. Maybe it’s just me, but I didn’t even know about poke until maybe two summers ago when several shops popped up in LA. […]
LOS POLLOS HERMANOS POP-UP: BETTER CALL THE HEALTH DEPT.
“Breaking Bad” is one of those shows that will live on for decades as a modern masterpiece. Part of the show’s appeal are the strong supporting characters; Saul Goodman and Gustavo Fring are […]
A NEW YORKER’S GUIDE TO EGGSLUT
Our good friend, Emma Louise Huibregtse, is an avid eater and she might be the most adventurous chewer we know. Here she details what makes Eggslut so special, and how its decidedly “West Coast” […]
Carbo-hyperventilate at Bread Lounge, DTLA Arts District
Much like Oprah, I love bread-uh. And for someone of my ilk, Bread Lounge is the destination and the journey. Bread Lounge like “the Grotto” for bread nerds. I first noticed […]
Coffiest Cafe – Soylent Pop-Up in Los Angeles 9/25/2016
When Soylent announced another one of their pop-up shindigs in LA—in the Arts District, a block from “Urban Radish”—I was initially suspicious. The company recently moved their headquarters to Broadway, just […]
Life Changing Magic of Poke Bowls: Ohana Poke Co.
I cleaned out my backpack this morning. This was something that I don’t think ever done before. I’ve been lugging this thing around for years; it’s been getting heavier and […]
Downtown’s Pizza Italia, Casa De Pizza
We’ve noticed a weird coincidence lately. On occasion, we’ll revisit a favorite haunt on a whim, either to satisfying a nagging craving or out of dumb curiosity. Sadly, a now […]
The Bell Tolls For Subway
Today was one of those days when my cravings just weren’t lining up with my local eateries’ availability. It was a hot Sunday, and people were just not having it […]
Mike’s Hockey Burger: Boyle Heights, Vernon
Update 5/24/16: looks like Mike’s is closed? There’s a fence erected all around the restaurant. I work in one of the least picturesque areas of Los Angeles, near Vernon. This is […]
National Pizza Day: Pitfire, Downtown
If you live in Los Angeles and love a good old fashioned wood-fired pizza pie, chances are you’ve visited a Pitfire establishment once or twice. This unique pizza chain stands out […]
National Pizza Day: TOWN, Highland Park
You could spend the whole day exploring York Blvd in Highland Park. The three-block radius surrounding Town Pizza is a great representation of the forward-thinking/backward-striving hipster ethos – arts and […]
Prelude To National Pizza Day: Pizza Studio, Downtown
February 9th is America’s “National Pizza Day”, a great excuse to eat more pizza – that perfect American example of convenience. Whether you’re a kid pestering your mom to order […]
How Sweet It Is: Cafe Dulce, Little Tokyo
Like many people, I’ve developed a habit for Starbucks – you could even call it a mild addiction. I’ll probably never give it up, I enjoy their awesome rewards program […]
Free Food On My Birthday, Because I’m Worth It
As a child, I never celebrated my birthday – it was against my religion. Celebrating your birthday was considered bad form; giving yourself undeserved recognition for having survived another year on […]
All Night Long: California Donuts, Koreatown
As a San Francisco “transplant”, there are several things about SF life that I miss dearly: the awesome Victorian buildings and sense of history in every neighborhood; the way you […]
Wrap Music: The Hummus Republic, Downtown
Mediterranean cuisine has had a really rough couple of years in downtown LA. A couple of my favorites (like “Flames”) have disappeared, leaving only the consistently average “City Grill” to sling fast falafel […]
True Street-Style Taco Life In The Arts District
Over the past year, I’ve gone from “disgusted” with the street taco scene to “rarely disgusted” with the sight of people slurping taco juice off of a greasy corn tortilla […]
The Reigning Queen Of Street Tacos: La Reyna, Arts District
I’m not a huge fan of the street taco lifestyle. I cringe every time I see groups of street peeps huddled around a street cart, squeezing street limes delicately on their tacos […]
You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello: Aloha Cafe, Little Tokyo
Tucked away in Little Tokyo’s Honda Plaza – between the immensely popular Sushi Gen and the cake slinging cronut connoisseurs, Frances Bakery – lies Aloha Cafe, which specializes in island-style […]
