I've longed after the tacos at Kogi BBQ. I've followed their Twitter feed. And last fall, I finally had their tacos. Since then, a bevy of food trucks has infiltrated greater Los Angeles, ranging from breakfast foods to french fries. It's very difficult to keep up with the latest food truck on the road. Luckily...

Friday’s Fast-Food Fishtacular! – Jack in the Box Fish Sandwich
Jack in the Box Fish Sandwich I confess -- I loves me Jack in the Box. Their mascot is great, their commercials are hilarious and oft-times brilliant, their menu is diverse and reasonable, I like their redesigned logo and they're the home team. Jack has had a fish sandwich for some time now, so it's... Continue Reading →
Friday’s Fast-Food Fishtacular! – The Sea Dog
For the next few Fridays, I'm going to review fish sandwiches from various fast food chains. Seems that everyone loves comparing burgers, fries and shakes. I figure it's time we shed some light on our fishy friends. Just so you know, this isn't a Catholic/Lent thing. It's a "Wha--? They sell fish at Wienerschnitzel?" thing.... Continue Reading →

When JustJenn emailed me a few days ago asking if I was free to go to lunch at Royal/T, I jumped at the chance. I didn't care that it was in Culver City, over an hour away or that I had visited Royal/T last year. I was going to hang out with her and a... Continue Reading →
Behold! The mighty potato ball!!
I've been meaning to blog about Porto's Bakery in Burbank for a while now. It's a Cuban cafe and bakery that is always packed on weekends. The Burbank location is the newest of two locations, with the original store in Glendale. Finding seats during the lunch hour rush is a challenge but the wait in... Continue Reading →
