The Sycamore Kitchen (Los Angeles, CA)

The Sycamore Kitchen is a restaurant that has been on my list for a really long time.  It almost did not happen this time either, but a series of unfortunate events that ended up working to my advantaged occurred.  đꙂ I was headed to a sewing blogger meet-up (for Vintage Zest) and ended up almost […]

La Boulange (Los Angeles, CA)

Today, I had the pleasure of going to La Boulange and it was simply magnificent!  With so much to eat, drink, and see, I am amazed that I only sampled a fraction of the menu.  A return visit is already on the works!  Here is a sneak peek into the restaurant before it opens this morning! […]

Lee’s Sandwiches (Western U.S.)

Today’s post is about a chain that is a bit under the radar, even if you have one in your area.  It’s Lee’s Sandwiches, a casual spot that serves both Vietnamese and European-Style sandwiches.  Let’s dig in! The outside is the same at each location, and tends to blend in to surrounding shops. The menu […]

Candle Light Bakery (Norwalk, CA)

Remember when I received a few treats from Candle Light Bakery a couple months ago?  My friend was so lovely to bring me a few treats for my birthday, and this time I decided to photograph it just a bit better…  đꙂ First, a rainbow of French macarons of all different flavors!  Fruity or chocolaty, I […]

It was actually converted from an old Sunkist packing house […]

Slater’s 50/50 (Southern California)

I had heard of Slater’s 50/50 a very long time ago, and I figured that I would eventually get around to it.  I was in Riverside, when a large group of us needed to find somewhere to eat.  Luckily, the winning suggestion was their local Slater’s 50/50.  Another one to check off of my list! So, […]

Spago (Beverly Hills, CA)

Okay, so this is a mess of a post.  I sat down to write this excitedly because I had SO many things to share from Spago: a wonderful amuse bouche, a beautiful bread basket, five tasty appetizers, five delicious entrees, two delectable side dishes, and three gorgeous desserts.  And then the worst thing happened…  I […]

La Parolaccia Osteria Italiana (Long Beach, CA)

For a quick dinner, the family and I went to an Italian restaurant that we had been hearing about for a while, called La Parolaccia.  I have a feeling that we will be coming back soon! It definitely has an old-school Italian decor. The normal bread was good, but instead of butter, it was served […]
