Yep, ice cream! I had no idea that Sprinkles went outside of its cupcake comfort zone and entered into the ice cream business. After an afternoon of estate sales and thrift store hopping (hubby’s newest obsession), on the way home I had wanted to stop by Sprinkles and pick up a cupcake or two from … Continue reading »
Now I know why this place is called Beer Belly. Because after you try Chef Lieberher’s crafty culinary bites, it’s not the beer that gives you that Buddha-like physique, it’s the food. Of course, the average person probably wouldn’t have indulged in as many of the “bites” that we ordered, but I felt like a … Continue reading »
The incredible, edible egg…a first in L.A.’s gourmet food truck offerings where the focus is simply…on the egg. On its own, it doesn’t create much “egg”citement but if presented in a way that gets your attention in the way of pairing and taste, it creates a very memorable impression.

My cousins were visiting from out of town (San Francisco and Vancouver respectively) and I was able to join them for dinner at A-Frame Modern Picnic. I was pretty excited about finally trying A-Frame, another Roy Choi eatery, since they debuted onto the LA food scene a few months ago. Located in Culver City, you … Continue reading »
Urban Solace has been on my radar for quite some time and while in San Diego for a fundraiser, I took the opportunity to also organize a brunch with friends before heading back to Los Angeles. I invited a few friends from high school to join me, making sure that we arrived early enough before … Continue reading »
Last Saturday, hubby and I were watching a Tivo’d episode of Oprah where Oprah and 378 of her staff members go vegan for a week. It was an interesting episode and I was fascinated by the food challenge posed to the staff. I was curious to see how the staff would fare in this one-week … Continue reading »
I had missed out on Chef John Rivera Sedlar‘s stint at Test Kitchen LA last September and his “Playa Preview”. I was intrigued by this celebrated chef’s culinary background and was eager to experience his cuisine dubbed “urban latin”, an interesting marriage of Mexican, Latin American and Spanish flavors. When I received the e-vite for … Continue reading »
My BFF Katie and I were catching up over the phone a couple of weeks ago. I was still excited about my latest Apple purchase (my iPad). The talk turned to iPhone apps and she assumed that I already had the Starbuck Mobile App (which she was surprised to hear that I didn’t). She explained … Continue reading »
