  • Rio Brazil Cafe - Los Angeles (Palms)

    Number of comments: 10
    Every food lover should have a friend like Bill Esparza. There are many reasons to adore the author of Street Gourmet LA, but it’s his intense passion for sharing hidden food finds and his tremendous knowledge of Latin cuisines that I find endlessly appealing. Were it not for Bill’s generous [...]

  • Marked5 - Los Angeles

    Number of comments: 7
    With our bellies stuffed UN-style with Peruvian-Japanese, Chinese-Mexican, and straight-up Indian street food, The Astronomer and I probably should have thrown in the towel and called it a night. However, dwelling on the East Side, we had no idea when another opportunity would arise for us to come face-to-face with [...]

  • America’s Test Kitchen Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Number of comments: 10
    Due to unavoidable circumstances (ahem, The Man), my cousin Danny will be unable to join our family in San Diego for Thanksgiving dinner. In an effort to put a little smile on his face as he works this holiday, I baked him a batch of chocolate chip cookies, one of [...]

  • Don Chow Tacos - Los Angeles

    Number of comments: 10
    After filling up on Japanese-Peruvian fare at Lomo Arigato and digging into Indian street food at India Jones Chow Truck, The Astronomer and I dashed over to Don Chow Tacos for a taste of Chinese-Mexican fusion. Dominic Lau and Lawrence Lie launched Don Chow earlier this year following the tremendous success [...]

  • India Jones Chow Truck - Los Angeles

    Number of comments: 7
    Since I’m only able to satisfy my curiosity and appetite for gourmet meals-on-wheels once a month at Art Walk, I must make a conscious effort not to go overboard at any one truck. After finishing off the lomo saltado at Lomo Arigato, The Astronomer and I sought out Indian street [...]

  • Lomo Arigato - Los Angeles

    Number of comments: 10
    I love the Los Angeles mobile food scene. Sure, the food can be hit or miss and the lines can be alarming, but I’m a sucker for entrepreneurial ventures, especially of the edible variety. The only beef I have with the  movement is its extreme bias toward The Westside of [...]

  • XT Patisserie

    Number of comments: 10
    XT Patiserrie’s eye-poppingly beautiful chocolates and macarons first caught my eye back in October at the Los Angeles Luxury Chocolate Salon. I was casually roasting some marshmallows at the Plush Puffs booth when I glanced over to my right and spied the most gorgeous array of sweets. I was instantly [...]

  • Mario’s De La Mesa - San Diego (La Mesa)

    Number of comments: 10
    If it’s wrong to take one’s current flame to an eatery that was introduced by an ex, then I just don’t want to be right. I believe that good food is meant to be shared under all circumstances, even somewhat awkward ones. Plus, they don’t call it the past for [...]

  • Chinese Kitchen/Chi Tu Thanh Nha Hang - San Diego

    Number of comments: 10
    If your family is anything like mine, then you’ve probably been dining in the same handful of restaurants for several decades. For as long as I can remember, Pho Hoa has been our go-to joint for Vietnamese beef noodle soup, Minh Ky has been our standby Chinese noodle spot, Lee’s [...]

  • Cooking with Coolio: Strawberry Hills Banana Muffins Forever

    Number of comments: 10
    After reading Eat Me Daily’s Fall 2009 Cookbook preview, I felt compelled to Tweet my excitement. “Magazines may be dead, but thank goodness cookbooks are alive and well. Fall line up looks tasty. I want Momo & Ad Hoc.” My first 140 character statement was immediately followed by, “I want [...]

    Number of comments: 9
    Mo-Chica is a temple of contemporary Peruvian cuisine housed in the Mercado La Paloma, a former warehouse converted into a vibrant marketplace and community center.  Of the 100+ restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of dining in during my first year living in Los Angeles, it’s Mo-Chica that surprised and impressed [...]

  • Miss Myra’s Pit Bar-B-Q - Birmingham

    Number of comments: 8
    Before departing home to Los Angeles, The Astronomer and I once again consulted the Barbecue Bible for noteworthy lunch options. “Miss Myra’s does many things well, but it’s the mayonnaise and vinegar-based white sauce that keep people talking,” touted the guide. The idea of a white barbecue sauce definitely piqued [...]

  • Edgar’s Old Style Bakery - Birmingham

    Number of comments: 8
    Lately, I’ve been spoiling my appetite by consuming rich desserts moments before sitting down to dinner. I don’t mean to disrupt the natural order of things, it’s just that bakeries tend to close up early, and keeping my hands off freshly purchased sweets is nearly impossible. Gluttony and lack of [...]

    Over two hundred food bloggers descended upon San Francisco this past weekend for the first ever Foodbuzz Blogger Festival. For two days straight, The Astronomer and I ate, drank, and socialized our little hearts out along with featured publishers from across the globe. Aside from the wonderful bloggers that we [...]

  • Old Fashioned Cornbread

    Number of comments: 10
    The first time I ate cornbread down South, I was convinced that someone in the kitchen hadn’t performed their job properly. The texture was coarse and crumbly, while the taste was plain and bland. Up until that point in my life, I had only consumed sweetened Yankee cornbread and was [...]

  • Highlands Bar & Grill - Birmingham

    Number of comments: 8
    Whenever I tell someone that I’m visiting Birmingham, I’m usually on the receiving end of a sympathetic smile and a less than enthusiastic, “Well, have fun down there.” Alabama’s bad reputation among liberal-leaning city dwellers is quite unfortunate because culinarily speaking, the state’s got it going on. In addition to [...]

    The Astronomer and I officially declared this past September Family Appreciation Month. Following a fantastic week in New York City with my brother, we jetted off to Birmingham to spend some quality time with The Astronomer’s family. With cooler temps, minimal humidity, and juicy muscadines in bloom, fall is the [...]

  • Hite Kwang-Jang - Los Angeles (Koreatown)

    Number of comments: 10
    Ever since my first taste of Korean fried chicken (yangnyeom dak) a year ago at KyoChon, I’ve been seeking out these snappy-skinned specimens whenever I’m in the vicinity of Koreatown. While chicken normally doesn’t excite me, the Korean treatment—double frying and potent marinades—seems to bring out the very best in [...]
