Angelique Cafe doesn’t get enough props. Maybe it’s because they don’t have a liquor license, but even if you can’t have a mimosa, you can have quiche, which is almost as good. If you haven’t been, you’ve probably seen it–it’s that place that sits on that island where Main and Spring Street become one. It’s [...]

Should we discuss this gorgeous thing, first? I think so. It’s a blood orange upside down cake, and it’s just what you need if you’re part of the underserved population that’s not into super-sweet desserts. The slightly dense texture of the cinnamon biscuit cake doesn’t allow the syrupy goodness to soak all the way through, [...]

A line for a restaurant doesn’t really mean much. Go to any Cheesecake Factory in town if you don’t believe me. But in the case of Daikokuya in Downtown LA’s Little Tokyo, the long wait is a legit sign. Our wait was 45 minutes (it was a Thursday night at 8pm), but well worth it. [...]

I don’t have much of sweet tooth, but this giant pastry always catches my eye when I go to Antigua Bread in Highland Park. It looks like sweet flaky goodness. I never get it because their drool-worthy Huevos Rancheros are always calling my name a little louder, but someday, it’s going to happen, and I’ll [...]

I don’t do all my chomping on the eastside. I sometimes venture out—despite the horrors of the 10 freeway—to enjoy the eats on the westside. My latest journey was to Bite Bar & Bakery in Santa Monica. It’s on Pico Blvd., which is still such a quaint area compared to the hustle and bustle (i.e. [...]

Don’t miss out on these beautiful cherries. They’re already pretty sweet. We got ours at that Alhambra Farmer’s Market. You can get your very own at your favorite market. Buying your produce locally is one of the best things that you can do for the environment and your local farmer. And who wants fruit that’s [...]

Señor Fish gets it right. With handful of locations, they’ve carved out a necessary niche in Mexican Food. They offer the standards, but they use fresh produce and high-quality ingredients, so it’s a lot less grubby and a lot more flavorful than the average Mexican restuarant. Don’t get me wrong, I like a saucy/cheesy dish, [...]

Anchovies get a bad rap. I’m convinced most of us have an aversion to them because, as kids, we always saw them being vilified in sitcoms and cartoons—“yuck, hold the anchovies!” Well, I for one won’t stand for it because I know the truth about these salty little guys. Please allow me to convert you. [...]

The meat that Mario Batali serves at Pizzeria Mozza is so exquisite that, a few years back, days before the wildly popular restaurant opened, someone actually stole his salumi. No kidding. And if you’ve experienced the carnivorous pleasures at the pizzeria or Osteria Mozza, you’re probably not too shocked by the carne caper. That’s why [...]

I love the Dodgers, but I can’t say the same about the food at Dodger Stadium. I know it’s a travesty to utter this phrase, but: Dodger Dogs are gross. The texture is rubber and the taste is all salty pork water. If you must eat a dog while you watch the game, I say [...]
