Must Experience: Prince's Hot Chicken, Nashville TN

One of the hottest (and I do mean that literally) food trends to come along in the South is hot chicken. The originator and master of this culinary delicacy is Prince's Hot Chicken in Nashville, TN. Now I must tell you that this place is a dive. You would never go here unless someone had… Continue

Does the Hippest Hollywood Pizza Place Live Up to the Hype? You'll Be Surprised. Pizzeria Mozza Reviewed.

Pizzeria Mozza is one of those places you go to because you've heard that it's the hottest ticket in town (at least that's what Zagat says). It's in Hollywood so you expect a little attitude, especially for a place where if you call in the morning, you won't be able to get a reservation till the late afternoon.

Metropolis Restaurants - La Paella: Mid-City West, LA

La Paella is exquisite because they keep it simple, but excel in the essentials: the food, service, and the authentic Spanish feel. To start, I would recommend a glass of Sangria which is accompanied by complimentary bread, smooth garlic butter, and ground up olives. Next, decide which of the 31 hot or cold tapas to try as an appetizer. And then there's the paella. The paella is visually aesthetic with so many different colors and ingredients, but it… Continue
