Chicago Style Pizza at Masa of Echo Park
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 [...]

10. June 2009
It’s time to come down off my burger high from last month. I probably didn’t eat as many as I had planned to for National Burger Month, but my stomach, and heart, are thanking me for that. So it’s fitting that I downsized my burgers this weekend when we stopped in at Mini Bites in [...]

12. May 2009
As part of my quest during National Burger Month we paid a visit to Gloria Felix’s Reservoir in Silverlake. Sinosoul recommended that I check it out for it’s burger. Felix is the behind the scenes Sous Chef on this season’s Hell’s Kitchen, and I was excited to try her new stylish restaurant featuring a rustic, [...]

11. May 2009
It’s sort of an odd pairing. Sticky fingers covered with BBQ sauce, and rare and collectible psych, garage and deep funk vinyl. All located within a bright turquoise building, complete with a light tower. But once I met former Tee Pee records exec Tony Presedo at his new joint Territory BBQ and Records in Silverlake, [...]

21. April 2009
I consider myself a wine novice. I know what wine I like, and I’m comfortable with what I know about wine, which isn’t much. That’s why I always find myself returning to Silverlake Wine time and time again. They have wine for every budget. Get a bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc for 8 bucks or [...]

14. April 2009
Like a kid in a candy store, and like Charlie visiting the Chocolate Factory, I had a golden ticket this weekend. Mattatouille set up a private tour of the Intelligentsia Roasting Works in Glassell Park. And like Willie Wonka, Nick Griffith (West coast wholesale rep and Western Regional Barista Champion) emerged from the coffee factory. [...]

7. February 2009
Friend, fellow foodie and wine lover Doug noticed a little spurt of new pizza joints in his hood. So he and a couple of fiends went on a one night pizza blitz to discover who had the best pizza out of all the newcomers. Below is an account and rating for each pizza joint, based [...]

19. January 2009
Once Tiger Lilly, then Mes Amis, and presto chango, now 1739 Public House. Located on Vermont in the trendy Los Feliz (Fah-leez) area, it’s an attempt at a traditional pub, but with the random artwork and cheesy water effects behind the bar it smells of a cheap and fast turnaround. Don’t get me wrong, they [...]

16. May 2008
So I heard that the Tiger Lily over went a transformation seemingly overnight into a new Cuban spot a month or so ago. Literally, over night… one week I was there, the next week I heard it was a Cuban joint. I highly doubted that I would find good Cuban food at a place with [...]

17. April 2008
Some might say the biggest Dodger news this year was the signing of Hiroki Kuroda or Andrew Jones. Beyond a couple of decent outings from Kuroda and Jones’ inability to make contact with the ball, not much is happening on the field. But I think the biggest news is the new field level concourse and [...]
