Have you ever had a friend that let you down, I mean really let you down, and you later forgave them? Well that’s what happened with Tlaquepaque Restaurant in Santa Paula (click here for pronunciation of "Tlaquepaque," .wav). They let me down big time with some extraordinarily bad service and as result it earned itself …
Had unhealthy but delicious dinner at In-N-Out this evening. When we decided to go there I knew I couldn’t get anything healthy there so decided to make it even unhealthier by asking for a "3×3." That’s where they stack on 3 patties and 3 slices of cheese. The poor burger could barely fit into the …
I ordered 8 tacos for me and B from La Casita ("the little house" in Spanish) taco shop, a place we’ve been trying out in Santa Paula. After placing the order, the woman at the outside order window (probably the owner) looked up at me with a slight squint and asked, "Is that for here …
B and I ate at Subway today. It’s kind of an unusual set up. They crammed two mini armchairs and a small coffee table by the door. We tried to eat there but then felt like we were in "kinney-garden" so we packed up and moved to their usual table and chair setup. I literally …
Tonight B and I had what I call "blasphemer delight" which is pork ribs marinated in Kosher wine. I selected the 2006 Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvingon Jeunesse (See Gary Vaynerchuck’s review on Wine Library TV) because it has a nice fruity taste that makes it ideal for cooking and because it’s a local winery.

Having trouble stomaching high gas prices? Do I what did before heading out to SummerMash LA yesterday. Eat a taco while you pump gas then you’ll feel like you’re getting gas, dinner, and screwed.
I lost my social media virginity tonight at SummerMash in LA. I went for two reasons – to get my college friend Daniel out and exposed to new start ups that might be hiring and to meet social media folks in the Los Angeles area. I had no clue what to expect. Would people be …
After a couple of months of pushing away hardcore junk food, I finally submitted to Oreo cookies. I wish stress eating allowed one to only eat one cookie and then put them away. But alas, it was not so. I only ate about ten of them…yeah, I guess ten is a lot at one sitting. …
In high school, we rented a bus and drove to the best eateries in Los Angeles. Mr. Sutro was the most eccentric of Government teachers. He was rumored to have come from an extremely wealthy family, always wore a three-piece suits, and had a PhD from Stanford. And, although being as skinny as a rail, …
I posted a picture of my lunch today to Twitter and TwitPic and got several comments and an invitation to help finish remaining portions of it so I thought I’d share the quick recipe. Oh, and amongst the comments was a tweet from Matt Armendariz, writer of the incredible food blog, MattBites (http://www.mattbites.com). 15-Minute Grilled …
