    Being food bloggers at times has its downsides. Our minds and appetites become overwhelmed. I am sure friends and family envision us delighting at the newest and trendiest restaurants in LA.

  • KITCHENS OF THE SOUTHWEST: SEDONA, ARIZONA #SaborSW
    2
    When I think about southwest cuisine, bowls of thick, red chile pozole from Santa Fe comes to mind, or soft pillowy sopapillas drizzled with sweet honey from Albuquerque. It’s food associated with a certain city. But as we were planning our tour of the southwest and mentioned stopping by Sedona, nothing came to mind. Nada. Well, nothing food-related. When I Continue Reading...

    I have lived in Los Angeles my entire life, minus the few years working as a reporter back east in my early 20s. Still, there are times I visit hidden gems around the City and I sit back and think to myself, “Now, why don’t I come here more often?” It could be a quiet cove in the Malibu beach Continue Reading...

  • Great Harvest Bread Company in South Pasadena; Despite Being a Chain, Good Bread and Sandwiches
    0
    Great Harvest South Pasadena serves sandwiches, cereals, salads, soups, and an assortment of pastries. Try the cinnamon buns. For many people this Lenten season, giving up carbs is one way to show restraint. I’m not one of those people. Bread, especially good, homemade multigrain, wheat bread, is my downfall.

    Trying to desperately escape the 102 degree heat outside, I drove up and down Valley Boulevard in Alhambra this afternoon, as I sometimes do, looking inside restaurant windows (and for air conditioning) to find a new place to eat. I say “sometimes” as many restaurants in my neighborhood have either Chinese or Vietnamese characters and since I don’t unfortunately read either language Continue Reading...
