Exploring Napa’s Bottled Poetry
As much as we love wine here at Dig Lounge, it would admonish people every time I said I hadn’t been to Napa. We’ve been to Temecula, Santa Barbara, Paso, the Sierra Foothills, and even France and Tuscany to taste wine, with Chili and Argentina up next. But we had yet to take the trip [...]

21. December 2009
With the recent passing of Roy Disney I started thinking about our very special dinner in the legendary Club 33. Situated above the Blue Bayau, a restaurant that’s hard to get into itself, is Walt Disney’s exclusive dining club. Located at 33 Royal Street in New Orleans Square, Disney built the restaurant as a place [...]

1. June 2009
After our successful first day of wine tasting, we were excited to get the second day started. We came home with about a case of wine the previous day and we were intent on doing better than that today. After our free, and very disappointing, breakfast at the hotel (we should have known better…) we [...]

28. May 2009
With Santa Barbara so close, it’s no wonder people don’t head up there more often. Only a two hour drive up the 101, Santa Barbara county wine country is a world away. Fresh, cool air, rolling landscapes, and beautiful drives with grapevines that follow the road for miles and miles.
Some of my favorite California wines [...]
The Search for Hainan Chicken Rice
22. February 2009
Chicken Rice is to the streets of Singapore, what tacos are to LA. It’s the street food of a nation with some of the best food in the world. Anothony Bourdain stopped in Singapore last year for his show No Reservations, and talked about the Chicken Rice as if it was God’s gift to the [...]

2. February 2009
You’ve all heard the term, too many cooks in the kitchen. Can that be a bad thing? I think in some cases collaboration can be a wonderful thing. I find work much easier (and enjoyable) when collaborating with my peers. Does the same ring true in a kitchen though? Take the Signature Kitchen at the [...]

1. December 2008
Our Jungle Cruise Food Marathon guide Mattatouille set up a foodie adventure like no other. We would be eating food from jungles around the world. We’d forge rivers (the 405), cross dangerous landscapes (Inglewood), explore the unknown (Gardena), face treacherous landscapes (Long Beach), and span continents (Little Saigon). The other adventurous souls on the [...]

1. November 2008
There are some places that remain frozen in time. Despite the build up of super disney-fied shopping areas, chain restaurants, and Crate & Barrel additions, Pasadena’s Pie ‘n Burger remains untouched since 1963. There is no need to wonder what they serve here. Sure they have ham, roast beef, and a grilled tuna sandwich but [...]

18. September 2008
Seems to be sort of a slow weekend for events here in LA. But the Lobster Fest is worth checking out. I went last year and had a great time cracking open lobster and seeing some great musical acts for just $17! If you’re looking to adopt a new pet, this weekend is a great [...]

15. July 2008
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 [...]
