Meat Street : A Slice of Carnivore Heaven!

When you are a food blogger who doesn’t eat pork and loves her Meatless Mondays, you end up turning down a lot of invitations. Sorry Bacon Fest! So when I received the invitation to preview and attend Meat Street, I was ready to pass… until I saw Foodbeast was putting it on, and I KNEW I would have to […]

Kay ‘N Dave’s Cantina (Culver City, CA)

Recently, I headed to Kay ‘N Dave’s in Culver City with a group of blogger friends to experience their brunch, it was simply amazing!  We had so much food, drinks, and dessert that I actually had leftovers for once!  I left stuffed and with more goodies for later.  Sounds like a perfect way to start […]

Sessions West Coast Deli (Huntington Beach, CA) – New Breakfast Menu!

You know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so Sessions West Coast Deli just added to their menu by making it the most delicious one too!  Truth be told, this spot has been on my list to visit for more than a while now, and after sampling a few of their new breakfast […]

Seoulmate (Downtown Fullerton, CA) – Grand Opening!

I love when I know about something before anyone else…  It’s like a little secret that I’m in on and nobody else gets to be as cool as I am.  Teehee 🙂  Seoulmate is one of those secrets… well WAS one of those secrets! There is a tiny, tiny location in Long Beach that I […]

Umami Burger (throughout U.S.) – 10 Course Tasting Menu!

  Every so once in a while as a food blogger, I get to do something really special.  You might be thinking, “Hey Diane, haven’t you already written about Umami Burger three  other  times?  How is this special?” First of all, I visited another new Umami Burger location to me: Hollywood!  And yes that’s fun and all, […]

Philly’s Best (Southern California)

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 […]

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 […]
