More than just delicious food, what do we want these days from a modern restaurant? How about an environment that whisks us away from our troubled day, a place where we can swing back sake shots with our… Continue

Sona - 401 N. La Cienega Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90048

The way I see it, if you’re going to spend money at Sona anyways, don’t be a penny-pincher with the 6 course menu: go for the 9 course menu. At around $300 per person (with the wine pairing), you’ll leave feeling satisfied and happy,

Cheebo (7533 W. Sunset Blvd, LA, CA)

I usually go for their Alfredo Slab, but there was one weekend morning recently where I really needed some of Cheebo’s fried bread with honey.

Lucky Number (XIV, WeHo, CA)

When I saw that SBE was associated with XIV, I honestly expected a sleazy restaurant, complete with overpriced food/drinks, a snobby waitstaff and one really shitty menu.

Quite the opposite, however. Food is terrific, the waitstaff is

Centro of Attention (Drago Centro, Los Angeles, CA)

I've lost count of how many restaurants Celestino Drago operates, but his new Drago Centro offers no new surprises--which is a good thing since his establishments are pretty damn reliable when in the mood for great Italian.

Calm Down (The French Laundry, Yountville, CA)

Yes, The French Laundry does make for a memorable meal, but I don't think it's the tantric orgasm that many make it out to be. To be fair, however, I thought the meal was comparable to the one at

Like a Blur (B44 Catalan Bistro, SF, CA)

From what I hear, warm evenings in San Francisco are pretty hard to come by, so when it is balmy out, the restaurants lining the Belden Place alleyway become an outdoor circus.

Having snagged a great seat at B44 with equally gre

Be Kind...Rewind

Not unlike the virtual chronological tour I gave you here, my last day abroad was pretty low-key. I woke up, read a book on the balcony, had a crêpe (2 to be exact) in the town squ

Tavern on the Rise: The Tavern LA

Love A.O.C., Lucques, and the Hungry Cat? Then you must be as excited as I was to hear about a new bistro from the same team. Tavern promises mouthwatering French-/Mediterranean-influenced fare like "the devils chicken with mustard breadcrumbs," "wild mushroom ragout with farro and waln… Continue

Off the Menu

I admit, I never really tried Vietnamese food but Tamarine is a nice introduction to the cuisine without diving into the deep end for anything too funky.

Pink Godzilla (Santa Cruz, CA)

Not the most authentic sushi you'll find (they have a roll called the "Ultra Bitchin' Roll), but goddamn if Pink Godzilla isn't a fun spot to get a cheap meal.

Dinner splurge for two (oysters, 5 different rolls, and Hawaiian poke)

Bump in the Road

I liked the food at Street, but the service was really slow and not worth mentioning; however, I didn't really mind because it had only opened a few days prior to my visit and from what I've seen, every new eatery has a ramp-up period.
