Ever since Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams opened nearly a year ago in L.A., we have been treated to inventive flavors like Thai Chili, Sweet Basil and Honeyed Pine Nut, Berries and Burgundy, and Yazoo Sue with Rosemary Bar Nuts.

Maradentro (Studio City, CA)

Recently, I was invited to dine at Maradentro Restaurant, which I was ridiculously excited about after having tried a glorious shrimp tamale at this year’s East LA Meets Napa event.  Believe me, if I’m making the trek out to Studio City, it better be worth it… and it totally did not disappoint!  Most of the […]

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams (Los Angeles, CA) – Truck Pop-Up

Yes, it’s impossible to […]
