Simmzy’s, a new Manhattan Beach gastropub, has a rotating menu of 24 interesting craft beers and gobs of wine by the glass, but it offers only one by the bottle: Redemption Pinot Noir.
The reason for the sole 750ml? The 31-year-old owner of Simmzy’s, Mike Simms, and Chris Cutler, owner of Wines of Redemption, are old buddies. [...]
Some food tasting events are swank affairs limited to those who can spend upward of $150 apiece to attend. Not so the annual Taste in San Pedro, hosted by the chamber of commerce in one of L.A. County’s friendliest blue-collar towns. This is a people’s food festival, a t-shirt and shorts affair with small plates [...]
It should be easy in one of the world’s great metropolises to find a proper meal after midnight, but it’s not. Oh, it’s not hard to find food — there are taco trucks, dive coffee shops and even Del Tacos all over — but something interesting and warming, with waiter service… that’s another matter. Here [...]

In April 2008, he opened a stylish pizza-driven Italian restaurant in the Mission District, in the former home of the Last Supper Club. He’s clearly tapped into the scene, offering great cocktails, Italian comfort food and a blackbird sign [...]

Throughout the Southwest, you can find chile roasters: places where you can buy bulk chiles, get them roasted in big rotating barrels, and take them home, steaming, in shopping bags, to peel and freeze. Chile roasting isn’t as common in Los Angeles, but you can find it if your timing is right.
Albertsons does a few [...]
Pig parts, via silive.comOne of the chefs on the Baja trip and I were discussing food-oriented tattoos, and he talked lovingly of a favorite boning knife he’s thinking of memorializing on an arm.
