ABOUT THIS BLOG
Follow my culinary adventures with food at home whether prepared by me, my friends or family, when I’m eating out (which is a lot) and in my travels. I love to try new restaurants and return to old favorites. If you decide to check out any of the restaurants mentioned in my blog, please let me know by dropping me a line. Or, if you have a favorite you’d like to share, I’d love to hear about it and perhaps experience it (depending on what it is, of course! LOL!).
ABOUT ME
I’m a Los Angeles-based foodie whose only criteria when it comes to food is that it’s well prepared, flavorful, pleasing to the eye and most importantly, pleasing to the palate. Whether it’s a hole in the wall, a food truck or a 5-start restaurant, it really doesn’t matter. It just has to be good!
I started this food blog a little over a year ago. It was meant to be my own food diary but it’s now taken a life of its own. I’ve met so many amazing people who are just as passionate about their love for food and am honored to be a part of the food blog world.
In addition to food/restaurant blogging, I am prone to purse envy (any my purse collections reflects this), am a techie geek (I have to have the newest gadgets), love photography and scrapbooking when time permits.
WHEN I’M NOT BLOGGING
I do have this other gig called a full-time job. It pays the bills, affords me the lifestyle to which I am accustomed. I am an HR professional (and no, don’t ask me if my company is hiring or tell me you need a job). Wish I could eat and blog 24/7 (with an occasional nap or two). That would be a goal worth working towards…
By the way, unless otherwise specified, all photos are taken by me. I apologize in advance for the “grainier” photos. I don’t always take my Nikon camera with me when dining out and will use my iPhone as a back-up camera. And if someone else takes the photo, I will give them full credit because it’s the right thing to do!
Bon appetit!

Hey there,
Nice review of Bleecker Street! After reading your review, I’m thinking you could actually win an award for it. Yes, seriously ^_~ . There’s a new award for the best reviews online being presented by Lunch.com (a site where people can share reviews on any topic). Lunch is recognizing the best reviews across a plethora of topics, and your restaurant reviews are fantastic — I think you stand a great shot of getting nominated and winning a “Golden Thumb” trophy! I work for Lunch, searching for the best reviews and reviewers online, so when I came across yours, it was a great fit.
All the info about nominations and voting are on the Lunch Awards page (lunch.com/t/9), and any review written in 2010 is eligible (no matter where it was originally posted). If you know anybody else who is sharing amazing reviews online, they are welcome to post them on Lunch to be submitted as well. There are categories for best reviews of businesses, movies, books, products, hotels, video games – you name it!
Really hope you submit your reviews for this year’s Lunch Awards! Plus, the “Golden Thumb” trophy is being produced by the same company who makes the Academy Oscar Awards! When you come on the site, follow me at lunch.com/zephyr2050 so I can be sure to also nominate your review.
Good Luck!
