Fresh Mexican in Eagle Rock: 7 Mares and Veggie Tacos at Señor Fish

May 8, 2010

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, [...]

Eat at Home: Don’t-Hold-the-Anchovies Pizza

May 8, 2010

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.

Eat at Home: Elf Cafe-Inspired Shallot Yogurt with Figs

April 28, 2010

Yogurt can change your life if you let it. I don’t mean that sugary stuff with the gelatinous “fruit” you have to unearth from the bottom of that little plastic container —I’m talking thick and creamy with live cultures.

You Don’t Have to Get the Burger at The York

April 27, 2010

The York in Highland Park has one of the best burgers in LA, hands down. It’s lavished in spicy mayo, pickled onions and cheddar, all of which equal gastro-masterpiece. Especially if you have the guts to get it medium-rare. The bun does its part too-it’s brioche, so it collapses when you pick it up. This [...]
