Are you hungry? Well, if you aren’t now, then you will be by the end of this post! I visited the first location of Philly’s Best in Fountain Valley, which was opened in 1992 by native Philadelphian Bob Levey. I ate so much and loved it all. I’ll tell you about it soon, but first, let’s […]

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 […]
Father’s Office (Los Angeles, CA)
Practically every time there is a list of the best burgers in L.A./the U.S./the world/beyond, Father’s Office famous The Office Burger makes the list. So why haven’t I tried it? Because the very famous, very strict non-modification policy, I can’t escape the inclusion of bacon. Well it should be easy to pick off, right? Actually no… […]
Pie-Not (Costa Mesa, CA) #2
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 […]

The Oinkster (Los Angeles, CA)
I was meeting my friend for dinner when our original plans fell through. We were way out east, so we had to rack our brains for something nearby and yummy. Luckily, I remembered The Oinkster! For those of you unfamiliar with the restaurant, it looks like an ordinary burger joint, but the chef comes from […]
Beachwood BBQ (Long Beach, CA)
It is summertime, so that means barbecue season! If you follow me on Vintage Zest, you know that I tend to make vegetarian dishes at home because it just takes so much work and time for meat dishes (except my favorite Ropa Vieja “Tostada” Pizzas). To satisfy my cravings, I like to leave it to the experts […]
Pie-Not (Costa Mesa, CA)
Here’s the problem with Pie-Not… I’m a pie fiend. I just love it, so there’s no way that I can be objective. I can be very picky about crust and filling, but when I like a pie… I LOVE IT. So, I decided to take my guy along so I could have a second (less […]
