Five Guys Burgers and Fries - Carson

You know what this town needs? More hamburgers. I can’t get enough of them. I can’t say that I have an absolute favorite. I can find myself craving a square cheeseburger from Wendy’s one day, a Double Double Animal Style from In & Out another, a Carolynn Spence burger from Bar Marmont on a Thursday [...]

Dr. Horribles Sing Along Blog

Neil Patrick Harris stars in this funny webisode of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to. Shot in various locations around LA, including what looks like the Fox or Sony backlot? It starts off a little slow, but I [...]

Katsuya - Hollywood

In the past I’ve learned to hate over hyped restaurants. They are almost always certainly “over” hyped and a disappointment. When I saw the gobs of wanna be Hollywood hipsters spilling out of, and trying to get into, the newly opened Katsuya on Hollywood Blvd, I thought to myself, ewww. I won’t be going there. But [...]

iPhone, no phone for you!

Loteria Grill - Hollywood

In my opinion, the hottest new restaurant on Hollywood Blvd isn’t Beso or Katsuya, it’s the new Loteria Grill. Its first location, located at the Farmer’s Market, has quickly become a much loved Mexican food joint and favorite of many foodies. Its new location on Hollywood Blvd is enormous compared to the Market location. The [...]

The Waffle Factory - South LA

The Waffle Factory sits on a rundown strip of Vermont in South LA. It’s sort of part of the Vermont/Manchester project, yet without the city subsidies granted to the area that’s been a ghostland of sorts since the riots of 1991. Tim Cavanaugh has been following the development, along with city’s Community Redevelopment Agency in [...]
