MILK + T (Los Angeles, CA)

Before I even started The Episodic Eater, I was all about the food trends and trying everything new.  While boba in Southern California is more of a staple and less of a trend, and food trucks exploded here several years ago, there is something completely fresh and new about the Milk + T‘s boba truck. What […]

Boldo Bol (Santa Ana, CA)

I was extremely excited to have a preview of the new Boldo Bol restaurant opening in downtown Santa Ana soon.  The food was beautiful and one of the first on my new Instagram account!

La Boulange (Los Angeles, CA)

It was actually converted from an old Sunkist packing house […]

Bite at the Beach 2014 (Manhattan Beach, CA)

I had the pleasure of attending the First Annual Bite at the Beach in Manhattan Beach, which was ridiculously fun!  Although I rarely write about beer here, my guy is certainly a beer aficionado, which has rubbed off on me.  On our recent trip to Bruges and Brussels, he made it a point to try three new beers […]

Forage (Los Angeles, CA)

After Unique LA, my friend and I were extremely hungry.  Even though we had a few samples of some delicious sweets at the show, we needed to have some real food.  We decided to go to one of her favorite restaurants nearby, Forage! The outside is not the most festive or inviting, but the inside […]

Cafe Gratitude (Venice, CA)

We were in Santa Monica with my sister and decided to grab a bite with our significant others and a roommate at a nearby-ish restaurant that I was totally curious about: Cafe Gratitude!  I’m so grateful (excuse the pun) that we did! It is tucked into a building in Venice, honestly the perfect city for […]
