The speed at which York Boulevard’s food scene is developing has hit break-neck status recently. There’s that new French place Ba, a little place called Fusion Burgers has quietly opened across the street from Maximiliano, and now there seems to be enough room for two cafes. That’s right. Highland Cafe has opened a few doors [...]

I was invited to attend Taste of the Eastside, which I sadly had to miss last year. The whole shebang took place last Sunday at Barnsdall Park in Los Feliz. I got there right on time, so I was able to try everything relatively unmolested. Here are some of the things I tried. Those up [...]

Pregnant women are warned not to eat cold cuts. It seems that there’s a bacteria called listeria, which lurks in lunch meats, just waiting to wreak havoc on the compromised immune system of every gestating woman. Okay, it’s actually kind of rare, but in America, it’s treated like the plague. And I’ll admit, I headed [...]

I’ve heard great things about Proof Bakery but never the pleasure, so when a friend suggested lunch there, I said “Oooh! Sure.” I don’t get to see Atwater Village on weekdays or by sunlight too often, but since I started working from home (no more east-to-west commute!), I’ve been trying to squeeze in local lunch [...]

While it does fall a little short of the grand scrumptiousness that Huckleberry captures with aplomb, Thyme Cafe is a worthy lunch spot. The cafe/bakery/market concept isn’t exactly unexplored ground in Santa Monica, but caterer-turned-restauranteur Maire Byrne offers her own brand of formidable sandwiches, salads, sweets, soups and gourmet goods. I crave sandwiches on an [...]

Artisanal LA was a food lover’s carnival. The community event held in the Cooper Design Building this past weekend showcased some of LA’s most interesting food artisans with handmade wares ranging from chocolates and baked goods to cheese and pickles. Even better, there were plenty of samples. The event was a pretty low-key experience–there were [...]

Here are some of my favorite food articles of the week: E*Star LA pairs beer and cheese in the name of victory. Hollywood’s Pure Luck has pickle [...]

Angelic. That’s how I would describe this cake from Ruby Bakery in Eagle Rock—it was one of the highlights of my birthday weekend. I’m usually a sugar frosting girl, but the whipped chocolate frosting, teetering between airy and substantial, may have made a convert of me. The yellow cake was light and spongy, as you’d [...]

Cupcakes are so political. Bring them up to a foodie crowd and watch the sprinkles fly. Everyone has their favorite place, their frosting-to-cake proportion ideals, their moistness demands etc. etc. And some weirdos even contend that cupcakes are tired fad. Whatever. In fashion or not, I just like a good cupcake, and I’m pretty flexible [...]

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 [...]
