This past Sunday I was invited to check out the new brunch menu @ Lazy Dog Café. Since it’s all the way out in Torrance, I decided to make a daytrip out of it and check out a few to-try spots (and revisit some longtime favorites) in one fell swoop. To start the day right, [...]
My friends and I went on one of those ‘just because’ daytrips to San Diego earlier this month, and while we didn’t check out anything new foodwise, it was pleasant to re-visit some of my favorite spots. Moreso given the unexpectedly sunny-yet-breezy weather down there. We started off with a brunch at Urban Solace, a [...]
Last week I posted a sneak peek of the cocktail I’m serving for a St. Patrick’s brunch with friends, so I figure I might as well blog about the brunch I whipped up for the occasion too. Along with the Irish-Italian-American, I also had bottles of Killian’s Irish Red Ale & Guinness Extra Stout on the [...]
I know, I know… tomorrow green beers and Irish car bombs will be all the rage for St. Patrick’s, but instead of a drink that’s (artificially) green to the point of frightening or one that’s as crazy un-PC as hell, why not celebrate it with a little class? You can go easy-but-chic (and brunch friendly) [...]
I might not be able to handle 30 hamburgers for 30 days straight or even cope with six courses of lamb in one sitting, but over the past few months I’ve had a dalliance, possibly an infatuation, with lamb burgers. Compared to its way more common beef patties, ground lamb burgers, with its tender-yet-lean texture [...]
Slightly amused at the irony that foodventure (or more accurately, drinkventure) #213 is actually about area code 702 . . . but anyhoo, even though Alizé was the over-the-top multi-course affair I had in in Vegas in late last year, there were no shortage of good eats & drinks all over town, both on- and [...]
Throughout last year, one of my unspoken resolutions is to entertain more, which is quite a feat if you’ve ever been in my living room. Nonetheless, it was a resolution that I’ve more than fulfilled, with me hosting a “just because” dinner or brunch every one or two months. And it was pretty fun organizing [...]
Now that the cold weather is really upon us (OK, comparatively speaking), what better occasion to warm yourself up with a wintery cocktail? Rather in the form of actually high temperature toddies or teas, or just warming from the spices and aromas, here are a few of my faves from the recent weeks: Holiday Champagne Cocktail [...]
Everyone may be making New Year’s Resolutions, but I’m certainly not giving up on my Dr. Chocolate sessions; here’s a recent few that I partook in: Trader Joe’s Caramel & Black Hawaiian Sea Salt bar Photo courtesy of The Daily Morsel Cost of Session: $1.99 for 3 oz. bar Physician Marketing: “…filled with a buttery, [...]
Having been to Vegas so many times in my past (it’s practically an annual tradition for me & my friends from high school,) I am no stranger to all the places to eat & drink on the Strip. The buffets! The happy hours! The late-night joints for post-clubbing nosh! All of which are kinda yawn [...]
