Is there anything better than pie? Tender, flaky crusts filled with… meat? Well, in the U.S., we usually limit our pies to sweet offerings, unless we’re talking pot pie or shepherd’s pie. However, the Aussie’s have their savory pie game down, and lucky for us in SoCal, we have a transplant from the land down […]

Michael’s Pizzeria (Long Beach, CA)
You may remember that I wrote about both Michael’s on Naples and the neighboring Michael’s Pizzeria on Vintage Zest, but those posts were much too short and sweet to share how fantastic the food is! Well, I took a trip down to the Downtown Promenade location for a lovely dinner featuring everything from salads to desserts! First of […]
Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen (Anaheim, CA)

They describe their food as… “simple, pure, flavorful dishes with roots in the Provençal tradition, but with modern LA attitude.“ […]

N’ice Cream (Costa Mesa, CA)
We were at SOCO furniture shopping for the new house, but I had to hit up The OC Mix! Tucked into a corner was the N’ice Cream shop, so we had to stop by. The first three locations are located in Santa Monica and Venice, but luckily they decided to open this one in the O.C.! […]
Lobster Rumble 2014 (Los Angeles, CA)
