Summer Burger BBQ

30. June 2008

This week enjoy some food, friends and some lip smacking, finger licking burgers on the grill. We’ve provided some links to recipes that we’ve made, successfully, in the Dig Lounge kitchen.

The Waffle Factory - South LA

29. June 2008

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 [...]

So I made it out to uWink finally. It’s location in Woodland Hills, while not that far, was just too much of a hassle to make it out to. I had read only a lukewarm response from the location in Woodland Hills but I wanted to check out its new location at Hollywood & Highland [...]

Looking for the best Falafel and Shawourma in town? Look no further than little Armenia’s long standing, 25 years to be exact, Falafel Arax. There beef Shawourma is slow cooked, topped with white fat that will, as it cooks on the spit, melt down over the perfectly spiced meat. The Falafel is simple, yet perfectly [...]

I’m on a quest, it’s been slowly going on for a few months. I’m searching for LA’s best hot dog. Beyond the obvious town favorites of Pinks, Carney’s, and love ‘em or hate ‘em, Dodger Dogs, there are several other stand outs. Like the grilled dog at Earlez on Crenshaw, the gourmet Haute Dog at [...]

Yamashiro Movie Night

You can’t argue that Yamashiro is probably one of the most beautiful restaurants in all of LA. Yamashiro means “Mountain Palace” in Japanese. It’s full of rich history. It was the dream of the Bernheimer brothers in 1911 to build a hilltop mansion 250 feet above Hollywood Boulevard. Today you can still see the 600-year-old [...]
