FOUR at Checkers Downtown
25. February 2010
Happy Hour is the elusive hour for most. You work till six or seven, get home at eight after fighting traffic to get back from the West Side. Happy Hour has been over at most bars for two hours. Not so on Thursdays at the Hilton Checkers on Grand Ave and 5th in Downtown LA. [...]

22. February 2010
It’s not your typical match up on a blind date. In-N-Out Burger and 20 different cabs. But yet Ian Blackburn’s LearnAboutWine loft in downtown LA is anything but your typical wine class. Ian’s knowledge of wine, it’s regions, makers, vintages, and grapes is astonishing. I envy his passion for wine and his love of sharing [...]

18. February 2010
The idea of an entire area of food trucks and street food vendors sounds appealing. After all, who wants to drive all around town chasing down food trucks and carts?

Chicago Style Pizza at Masa of Echo Park
15. December 2009
I’ve been craving an authentic Chicago Style pizza ever since I saw a special on the Travel Channel about Chicago’s famed pizza. A real “pie” when it comes to pizza, these aren’t anything like the “Chicago Style” pizzas I’ve had over the years in California. A cornmeal crust lines the bottom of a deep baking [...]
