I'm gonna take a big step and give away one of my whereabouts the last two days.I've only been to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles once before Saturday. The first visit being the Pasadena location a few years ago. The Long Beach location this time was less busy and we were served right away.Like last time,... Continue Reading →
Mission Possible
I'll be in a ultra secret location the next few days. My mission? To infiltrate the enemy and get me some birthday cake. Maybe even possibly a few drinks. If I don't report back, the mission has been successful. Over and out.
For the record…
... I have a very low tolerance for things related to ghosts, zombies and horror movies. The first real horror movie that frightened the bejeepers out of me was "Poltergeist," specifically the scene where the toy clown terrorizes the boy. But for some reason, I like reading about haunted objects. Maybe it's just the adrenaline... Continue Reading →
The first time I cried over a cake
The ice cream cake for my 30th last year made me cry. It wasn't so much the cake itself as the art that graced the top of the cake: a Batgirl sketch by Bruce Timm. No, no.... Mr. Timm did not get behind the counter and decorate it himself but the art was tranferred there... Continue Reading →

For Berlin, I did some research and found Propeller Island,, a very cool artsy hotel. Since I... Continue Reading →

Candy, my vice
Once in a blue moon, I long for a candy bar. Not a whole candy bar but a taste of something sweet. But have you gone into the candy aisle recently? Slews upon slews of something to fill your sweet tooth. My personal favorite: Three Muskateers.
No argument from me
I guess looking at this photo while doing my usual Food pages last week is nothing to really complain about. The story is about young male chefs who just happen to be great looking. They include Tyler Florence, Dave Lieberman and Ludo Lefebvre who is pictured above. Although typically not my type (I like the... Continue Reading →
Reno nosh
The food I've devoured from Reno is (thankfully) gone from my system. Until my next visit, I only have these photos to remind me what I've eaten. The Nugget The Nugget known for its Awful Awful burger. This monster actually has a slogan: it's awful big and awful good. The Nugget has a few locations... Continue Reading →
My Burning Kitchen... on the road
