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 […]

Juice It Up! (California)
It’s mid-way through February already! Do you know what that means? It is American Heart Month, and Juice It Up! locations everywhere are celebrating by promoting some extra heart-healthy juices, smoothies, and açaí bowls. Seriously yummy stuff! I met with one of the scientists who makes sure that the menu is not only nutritious but delicious, and […]
Umami Burger (California & more) – Throwback Burger
Are you surprised that I have yet another Umami Burger post for you today? Yes, this is the third one (see posts #1 & #2), but when I was invited to try out the new Throwback Burger, I was super excited! The Throwback celebrates the new streamlined menu that will be found at all Umami […]
Umami Burger (California & More) + Pumpkin Spice Latte Burger!

Lola’s Mexican Cuisine (Long Beach, CA)

The crowds are always evident in the outside parklet, but the inside and back patio are filled with hungry people awaiting fresh Mexican food! Let’s get to the food! Chips & Salsa Yes, maybe chips […]
Candle Light Bakery (Norwalk, CA) #3

First I tried some amazing cookies, then I had some birthday cookies and a cake, all of which were delicious! When, she told me that she was bringing me some […]
Michael’s Pizzeria (Long Beach, CA)
You may remember that I wrote about both Michael’s on Naples and the neighboring Michael’s Pizzeria on Vintage Zest, but those posts were much too short and sweet to share how fantastic the food is! Well, I took a trip down to the Downtown Promenade location for a lovely dinner featuring everything from salads to desserts! First of […]
