Hot & Cheap at Yunnan Garden

Hot & Cheap at Yunnan Garden

It’s always fun to tag along when someone else is researching restaurants, and that’s what I got to do last night. Not only does Linda Burum keep EAT: Los Angeles current on the city’s best ethnic food sources, but she does the same for our friends at Los Angeles magazine and the Los Angeles Times. [...]

Cabbage Patch: Bad Name, Great Food

Cabbage Patch: Bad Name, Great Food

Making the typically horrible drive to Beverly Hills to eat at a place called Cabbage Patch wouldn’t normally tear me away from the computer, but I wanted to meet my old friend Nancy Ransohoff, a Santa Barbaran who’d come to town to tape a segment on Good Food with Evan Kleiman (because of our book Hometown Santa Barbara), and [...]

Sleeping Late in Silver Lake

Sleeping Late in Silver Lake

Is everyone in Silver Lake a screenwriter or guitarist or layabout who can sleep until 10 and roll into breakfast whenever they damn well please? Apparently so, based on an attempt to meet for a pre-work breakfast this morning. Joseph had been to Local for lunch and loved it, and we were both keen to [...]

Amy Lamé Eats Up L.A.

Amy Lamé Eats Up L.A.

So we got word that English writer, TV host, club owner, comedienne, serious foodie and former Jersey girl Amy Lamé was coming to Los Angeles to do a piece for the Times of London, as well as to report for Market Kitchen, the popular daily food show on U.K. television.
She’d heard about EAT: Los Angeles and [...]

A Jonathan Gold Food Fest

A Jonathan Gold Food Fest

Jonathan Gold groupies (and let’s face it, we’re all Jonathan Gold groupies) are abuzz about the impending “Gold Standard” food-tasting shindig that the L.A. Weekly is putting together. It’s Saturday, March 8th at Smashbox Studios in West Hollywood, and I’m so sorry that I’ll be skiing in Mammoth (well, not that sorry) and can’t go. [...]

Recession Specials

Recession Specials

In this time of worry and 401K denial, we can take comfort in the recession specials showing up all around town. Here’s a recent crop of EAT: LA’s favorites:
Monday: Boneyard Bistro in Sherman Oaks pairs half-priced beer with an excellent fried-chicken dinner ($12 for a quarter chicken, $17 for a half, including very fine potato [...]

Homemade Soda

Homemade Soda

Our friend Terrye, who knows about cool sustainable products, highly recommends this new kitchen gadget called the SodaStream.
In about 30 seconds, you can make your own soda, either sparkling water or flavored Italian-style soda. It uses compressed air instead of electricity, makes soda for a fraction of the cost of buying it, and means [...]

Snaps for Oaxacalifornia

Snaps for Oaxacalifornia

According to a story posted on LABeez.org today, the food merchants at the nonprofit Mercado la Paloma, home to one of our favorite juice bars, Oaxacalifornia, are way out ahead of the pending state requirement to post nutritional information. Restaurants don’t have to do it until 2011, but Oaxacalifornia and its neighbors are doing it [...]

Recession Busting at Santa Monica Seafood & Huckleberry

Recession Busting at Santa Monica Seafood & Huckleberry

Recession? What recession?! I had a double-header today, visiting both the newly relocated Santa Monica Seafood at 10th and Wilshire in Santa Monica and the new breakfast-and-lunch café and bakery Huckleberry, and both were a veritable frenzy of foodie action, with AmEx cards flying and nobody blinking an eye at $12 sandwiches (Huckleberry) or $20 [...]
