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 [...]

I’m not superstitious about most things, but I think the first meal of the year is important. What you eat on New Year’s Day should set a precedent for the next 364 days to come—and this year is a leap, so 365. With this in mind, I was a little skeptical yesterday when we stepped [...]

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.

One of my favorites from Four’s summer menu was undoubtedly their Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho. A departure from the traditionally chunky preparation, this [...]

LA is so huge that, even if you grow up here, you might never venture into some of its many nooks and niches. Case in point for me: Brentwood. Aside from the repeated news footage of the Mezzaluna restaurant during the OJ Simpson trial, I never set eyes on the neighborhood until this very weekend. [...]

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, [...]
