Strada Eateria & Bar (Los Angeles, CA)

I recently discovered this hidden gym of a restaurant tucked into a quiet street in the heart of downtown L.A., Strada Eateria & Bar! The menu is filled with all kinds of dishes that highlight the owner and chef’s focus on European “street food”, but done in a much more elevated fashion. Each dish was […]

Meat Street : A Slice of Carnivore Heaven!

When you are a food blogger who doesn’t eat pork and loves her Meatless Mondays, you end up turning down a lot of invitations. Sorry Bacon Fest! So when I received the invitation to preview and attend Meat Street, I was ready to pass… until I saw Foodbeast was putting it on, and I KNEW I would have to […]

Bad to the Bone BBQ (San Juan Capistrano, CA)

When I received the e-mail in my inbox with the first line “Have you ever wondered how BBQ joints slow cook their meat to make it fall-off-the-bone?”, I’m pretty sure I yelled “YES!” out loud.  Then, when I found out that I would be participating in a behind-the-scenes look at Bad To The Bone BBQ, […]

Boysenberry Festival at Knott’s Berry Farm
