LA Magazine – The Food Event

This past year certainly hasn’t been void of wonderful food events to spend your hard earned money on. Some of them have gotten pretty pricey, charging upwards of $300 plus for tickets. Exclusive and as fabulous as they are, it’s just too much to spend when sampling small dishes from various chefs. In comes Learn [...]

Wine country dining at Hoover’s Beef Palace

There’s nothing I love more before a day of wine tasting (or the day after wine tasting) than a solid base of greasy spoon bacon, eggs, corned beef and hash. Every wine country destination has their own greasy spoon. You just have to go searching a little. Santa Barbara has the Cajun Kitchen, Napa has [...]

The Shrimp Guys roll into town

People familiar with the shrimp trucks of Oahu have something to rejoice about; those who are not have something new and delicious to experience. Rich Narne and Rico Libang have brought the famous shrimp trucks to the streets of LA via The Shrimp Guys. Rich and Rico aren’t from Hawaii, they aren’t professionally trained chefs, [...]

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 [...]

Dining in Disney History

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 [...]

A Taste of Santa Barbara (day two)

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 [...]

A Taste of Santa Barbara (day one)

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 [...]

The Search for Hainan Chicken Rice

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 [...]

Signature Kitchen at Macy’s South Coast Plaza

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 [...]

Jungle Cruise Food Marathon

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 cruise [...]
