Montes rose of syrah has a label drawn by Ralph Steadman! Like the first time I set foot in Paris, the first time I had foie gras was a sweetly memorable experience. I was 23 and leaving Paris soon, moving back to L.A. for good. My French boyfriend wanted to take me too a really [...]
Afternoon delight: an Irish coffee at Tom Bergin’s vintage bar Except for an awkward blind date with a guy named Michael Bolton (don’t ask), most of my visits to Tom Bergin’s have involved standing up in a packed the bar area, saying goodbye to somebody leaving Variety. Tom Bergin’s Fairfax location makes it a perfect [...]

(Unfortunately the draconian local liquor laws mean there’s no tasting room, so it’s wholesale only.) Litty Mathew and Melkon Khosrovian’s company has come a long way since we voted on fruit and herb-infused vodkas [...]
Rocio’s "Mole of the Goddesses" I had been wanting to try Rocio’s Moles ever since the queen of moles, Rocio Camacho, landed at her new restaurant in Bell. Although I had been to Bell with Bill Esparza on the Latin desserts crawl, it still seemed like a fur piece to go for lunch. But then [...]
Black Hogg’s cod n’ chips with waffle fries There’s no place more emblematic of how much Silver Lake has changed in the past few years than the new Black Hogg. Once home to L.A. Chinese, known as "The scariest restaurant in L.A.," it’s now a sleekly spare room with hand-crafted looking plywood furniture and a [...]
