Filling up at Reservoir
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.

Saturday, May 9, 2009
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 [...]

Umami is that fifth taste described roughly as tasty, although brothy, meaty, or savory. Unbeknownst to us, we showed up right after a write up in the LA Weekly by food wordsmith Jonathon Gold. And like any [...]

On a day when Hollywood was glamming it up on the Red Carpet at the Kodak Theater, the gf and me joined Food Marathon for lunch (and dinner) on the opposite end of the spectrum of Hollywood glam. On the menu, Ghetto Burgers from Compton, Watts, Inglewood and Leimert Park. What we found were some [...]

Monday, February 2, 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 [...]

Library Bar alums Will Shamlian and Mark Leddy’s new Studio City Gastropub is a bright shining star along Ventura Blvd. It’s front glass frosted windows open up to the street, beckoning local residents in for a beer and some grub.
