One of our favorite special-occasion restaurants, Saddle Peak Lodge, is currently offering an amazing discount: 50% off any and all bottles of wine on its list on Thursday and Friday evenings. The lingering recession has led to many such discounts around town, but most are only offered on slow evenings (Monday or Tuesday), and often [...]
Once a small, intimate tea tasting among friends, Kulov’s Tea Festival has grown over the past ten years into a celebration of tea with educational workshops, exhibitions, tea tasting booths and live musical performances. This year’s event at Royal/T in Culver City kicks off with a free lecture on tea and fair trade (Saturday, 11 [...]
We at EAT: Los Angeles recently sent stickers to every café, food shop, restaurant, pub, taqueria, coffeehouse, wine bar, bakery, pizzeria and wine shop in the book, and they’re starting to pop up in windows all over town.

Here’s the piece Miles wrote for the Los Angeles Times this week about our city’s remarkable pizza diversity (who’s up for a ninja pizza topped with mochi and mayo?), [...]
We’re eating local as much as possible these days, but here’s a short list of terrific semi-local staples — rice, dips, pickles and preserves, even tofu. Why semi-local? Well, defining “localâ€Â is always tricky.  And while a 100-mile radius around L.A. encompasses plenty of farms full of fruit and vegetables, we feel justified in traveling farther [...]
