Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Dandgure’s Classic Southern Cooking is the place for comfort food. A warm inviting place for “Meat & Three’s”, that’s three veggie’s, not pork chops like I had. Dandgure’s is what it is, simple southern comfort food. Perfect on a cool fall afternoon, or when you’re missing your mama back home. [...]
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Tasting Table is exactly what a foodie like myself loves. Lots of credible-edible information on the latest eateries, chefs, foods and drinks in and around town. They specialize in LA/New York/Chicago/San Francisco and Washington D.C., but they also have a generic “Everywhere” version. Sign up for daily emails and updates [...]
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]My newest favorite restaurant, the Tin Roof Bistro in Manhattan Beach, ca, newly opened and at first glance looked full of promise. It was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly pleased with my dining experience. Many many times I have been to a new concept restaurant or bistro that tried too hard [...]
Rating 3.50 out of 5 [?]Newly opened Bottega Louie is one of my new favorites. An oasis in the middle of sometimes dreary downtown Los Angeles, this polished, marble and brass space is cavernous, light and airy. The glass cases are filled with delights both sweet and savory. The bar beckons, if only I was [...]
Rating 3.50 out of 5 [?]Bar Pintxo, located in Santa Monica, California is well worth the trip. It certainly beats a flight to Barcelona, which is as far as you’d have to go to get authentic “Tapa’s” dishes. Bar Pintxo also serves Jamon Iberico, the prized ham from Spain who’s fat is actually good for [...]

Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Just in time for x-mas, or anytime for that matter. Mom’s Tamales is the best Tamale joint in Los Angeles, believe me it’s well worth the drive. Mom’s is located in a brightly painted non-descript building in Highland Park on Pasadena Ave. Mom’s Tamales makes the full gamut of tamales, [...]
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]The devil is in the details, or rather the Skull in this case, from British designer Alexander McQueen. These cool looking silk scarves would be the perfect detail to add to your sport coat or suit. Upon closer inspection the lucky viewer will find the meticulous detail of the hand [...]
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]From French designer Lucien Pellat-Finet comes these cool looking swimsuits. One for him and one for her. No they are not made of LPF’s cashmere but they do have the signature Skull. Available in the US at LUCIEN PELLAT-FINET boutiques 14 Christopher Street, NY, NY or in Paris, at 1, [...]

The food is the most unique and delicious Greek food you will try. Not your usual heavy, meat laden dishes. These are light, tasty dishes. Grilled fish, fantastic salads, [...]
