Remember when I received a few treats from Candle Light Bakery a couple months ago? My friend was so lovely to bring me a few treats for my birthday, and this time I decided to photograph it just a bit better… 🙂 First, a rainbow of French macarons of all different flavors! Fruity or chocolaty, I […]

Slater’s 50/50 (Southern California)
I had heard of Slater’s 50/50 a very long time ago, and I figured that I would eventually get around to it. I was in Riverside, when a large group of us needed to find somewhere to eat. Luckily, the winning suggestion was their local Slater’s 50/50. Another one to check off of my list! So, […]
Chronic Tacos (California & Canada)
On Memorial Day, we were having a lovely day off and decided to grab a quick dinner at Chronic Tacos! It was started not far from where I live, so it is a very local chain for me! First, you pick your package, then you pick your protein, and then you add extras. It’s always […]
Corner Bakery (across U.S.)
As you might know by now, I am picky when it comes to my chain restaurants. I tend towards mom-and-pop restaurants, local events, and small-scale chains. However, there are a few exceptions to the rule, and Corner Bakery is one of them! It originally started in Chicago, but I grew to love it in California! […]
Oaxacan Quesadilla Cart (Los Angeles, CA)
As we approached the entrance to The Echo Park craft fair, we saw a huge line for something and naturally assumed that it was the ticket line. It ended up being the line for the Oaxacan Quesadilla Cart! Street food is awesome in L.A.! The food truck craze across the U.S. started here and was inspired […]
La Tavolata (Artesia, CA)
This is my third trip to La Tavolata, but my first on The Episodic Eater. To see my first two meals recapped on Vintage Zest, click here and here. There is nothing fussy about the food, it’s just plain and simple what you want to eat when you are craving pasta. Now, let’s get to […]
Guisado’s (Los Angeles, CA)
Finally, we made our way from UniqueLA to Forage for delicious seasonal dishes and Brite Spot for dessert to our final destination: Guisado’s! I have to apologize in advance for some extremely poor lighting, but I did a semi-decent job bringing some life into these pictures. If you don’t believe me, I’ll send you the originals! Without […]
Brite Spot (Los Angeles, CA)
After our mini meal at Forage, we were on our way to Guisado’s, but when I saw the Brite Spot sign, I insisted that we made an unplanned stop! By the way, this is a seriously old school diner. Apparently it’s been there since 1949! As soon as you walk into the diner, there are tons […]
