My Candy Cane Cream Faux-reos for the Eat My Blog Charity Bake Sale this weekend. There’s lots of stuff to do this weekend around LA—a few things on the Eastside and a few that require driving: Eagle Rock: Pie & Beer is popping up at Eagle Rock Brewery on Sunday from 12-6pm. I Heart Pies [...]

“Is this some kind of performance art?” That’s the question Josh asked as we watched the staff at Mooi try—with the urgency of molasses—to seat a restaurant full of people for a 9 o’clock pre-fixe dinner service. The minutes ticked, some poor girl fell off the rickety wrought-iron chair she was made to sit in, and [...]

Allston Yacht Club was off my radar for too long, but I think I’m going to add it to my repertoire. I spent my Election Day night (thanks for your sanity, California) in the small Echo Park bar restaurant, which has a casual, unpretentious vibe and a full menu of satisfying small plates inspired by Japanese, Italian [...]

Locally-grown, organic and quality foods are hard to find in eastside neighborhood markets, so I was psyched when word came that Marta Teegan of Homegrown was opening a green grocer in Echo Park. When I finally stepped into Cookbook, I wasn’t disappointed. The tiny shop carries an abbreviated yet satisfying collection of fruit, veggies, cheese, [...]

But buzz will only [...]

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. [...]

I like a good al pastor, but I also love a good veggie taco. Lucky for us, they’re finally showing up on LA menus. What’s exciting is that the newness of the veggie taco’s popularity means there’s wide open terrain for restaurants/taco trucks to experiment. Here are a few places that seem to be inspired: [...]

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 [...]
