I’ve always liked Malo, but I really don’t like the crowd it has been attracting. Sounds snobby, I know, but the last time I was there on a Thursday night, I had to endure a table of loud/flashy/drunk executive types, who harassed the waitress, hit on other diners and made a general ruckus. It’s depressing—like [...]

Earl’s Gourmet Grub is one of my favorite new places in LA. The Mar Vista sandwich shop offers everything I love—fresh ingredients, uncommon flavor combinations, and unabashed passion. Take the Tuna Sandwich (pictured above) for instance. It’s an unexpected mix of tuna with layers of thinly sliced gruyere, fig hash and pepperoncini between two slices [...]

Noah Galuten names the “5 Most Disgusting Items in Trader Joe’s Freezer Aisle” on LA Weekly’s Squid Ink. The Daily Dish has a warning about a new maggot-making fruit fly in town. Yuck! On a yummier note, Mattatouille has some tasty pics of the dumpling kind from The Dim Sum Truck. Josh Lurie over at [...]

A good mimosa is redundant. You can use the cheapest champagne and any old orange juice, and they’re still alright. But a good bloody mary is a rare and glorious thing. It requires balance—enough vodka to give it punch, enough tomato juice to give it body, enough Tabasco to give it kick, and enough worchestershire [...]

I tried Lee’s Sandwiches (pretty un-remarkable), Mr. Baguette (much better), and a few others up and down Valley Blvd. until I eventually settled on Baguette Du Jour as my Bánh mì haunt of choice. They make a beautiful baguette, and if you [...]

I got my Coco Fresco from the guy off exit 43 on the 110, but they’re all around right now. Just ask your local street fruit vendor. The juice is sweet with lots of Vitamin C and Calcium. Delicioso! –Valentina

Just last weekend, we hit up The Lazy Ox Canteen before going to see the weirdly fantastic play 1951-2006 at the Los Angeles Theatre Center. This was the first time I’ve ever eaten by sunlight at The Lazy Ox because usually I’m taking advantage of their much-welcomed late night service (they beat The York by [...]

Good pizza doesn’t exactly run rampant in LA, and deep dish pizza is particularly hard to score. Once in a while we order a few pies from Lou Malnati’s in Chicago, but at $40 a pop, it’s not exactly ideal. That’s why I was excited to hear good things about the deep dish at Masa. [...]
