A Burger and a Blind Date

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 [...]

Mini Bites of an East Side Burger

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 [...]

Meat and Buns at D-Town Burger Bar

My fourth burger for National Burger Month was quickly consumed at D-Town Burger Bar in Downtown LA. The name is slightly deceiving. I couldn’t find a bar here at all. Maybe D-Town Burger Joint would have been a better name. Regardless, we made our way up to the counter in this 50’s inspired diner to [...]

For my third burger during National Burger Month (my second was the turkey burger at 8oz) I stopped in at Westside Tavern. Like the movie theater above it, the restaurant is huge at over 10,000 square feet and room for 300 diners. And like you might expect, it was packed on this Saturday night. It’s [...]
