Umami Burger (California & More) + Pumpkin Spice Latte Burger!

  As you might remember from my last Umami Burger post, this is a small chain that knows how to do burgers (and everything else) right!  Last time, I went to the opening of the Irvine location, but after seeing this Umami Burger across from the Anaheim Packing District, I was itching to check this […]

Crow Burger Kitchen (Newport Beach, CA)

Typically, I tend to avoid the Newport Beach area on weekends when the weekend crowd comes out to play.  So when I found myself mere minutes from Crow Burger Kitchen relatively early, I was so in! The restaurant is tucked into a strip mall and has such a great vibe.  You would never know it!  Awesome atmosphere […]

The Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen (Fullerton, CA)

Having lived all around the vast area that is Southern California, I like to consider myself familiar with the best eating spots around.  However, if you saw my Food Maps section for Southern California, before visiting the Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen, you would have seen a gaping hole over Fullerton.  Well shame on me! I was […]

The Rockhouse (Las Vegas, NV)

Our last day in Vegas, we wanted to watch the World Cup final, and we checked out The Rockhouse!  They bill it as the original and only Las Vegas Ultra-Dive bar with drinking game nights and a mechanical bull… but during the day there were kids watching the soccer match.  Yep, they had just as […]
