It’s been a busy few weeks for me, partly because I’ve been eating a lot.
Most notably, I stopped into opening day at Ray’s Hell-Burger yesterday, which is just down from Ray’s the Steaks on Wilson Blvd.
I almost don’t want to share it. It was that good.
The burgers are indescribably juicy and flavorful. 10 ounces [...]

Sometimes L.A. is Better
June 11th, 2008 · No Comments · Los Angeles, Travel
I’m mostly glad to live in a city with monuments and seasons and Gluten-Freebird brownies (Thanks Buzz!), but I have to admit that sometimes L.A. is better.

Shells Incoming
May 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Elsewhere, Los Angeles, Nibbles, Restaurants, Washington, D.C.
I go caveman when it comes to soft shells. Give them to me. Now. No pleases or thank yous.
I used to eat tempura-battered crabs as often as possible, but this diagnosis has made me rediscover pure soft shells. So many soft shells are drenched in flour batters, losing all integrity of flavor and texture. The [...]

All I Ever Wanted in a Salad
May 4th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Fruit, Los Angeles, Recipe, Salad
As soon as the weather heats up, my appetite chills. I only want salads for dinner and like them as simple as possible. This, one of my of my favorite salads, has every flavor profile you could possibly yearn for in a salad. The inspiration for this baby comes from 17th Street Cafe on Montana [...]
