Del Frisco’s Grille (Santa Monica, CA) – Valentine’s Day Menu

When it comes to Valentine’s Day, I admit that I don’t always make plans… but I had a preview of Del Frisco’s Grille‘s menu, and this is definitely worth planning for!  Even better, they are serving the menu all weekend, so you can have it Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, if your little heart desires!

The Dirty Cookie (Tustin, CA) – Grand Opening!

Romeo and Juliet.  Peanut butter and jelly.  Peas and carrots.  Some things were just made for each other and The Dirty Cookie capitalizes on one of our favorites: cookies and milk!  Opening in the new Union Market at The District in Tustin, I was excited to spy the sign hanging on the wall and pop […]

California Donuts (Los Angeles, CA)

By now, you know that I love my donuts!  So when my birthday rolled around this month, clearly I received birthday donuts from one of my best friends instead of a regular cake.  She knows me so well!

I already know what you are thinking. Do I really need to know about a doughnut place in L.A.?  The place right around the corner from me is just fine. As you may or may not know, original doughnuts have been a trend for a while now.  Wait, then does that make it not a […]

Anaheim Packing District (Anaheim, CA)
