Pie-Not (Costa Mesa, CA)

Here’s the problem with Pie-Not…  I’m a pie fiend.  I just love it, so there’s no way that I can be objective.  I can be very picky about crust and filling, but when I like a pie… I LOVE IT.  So, I decided to take my guy along so I could have a second (less […]

Lucille’s Smokehouse BBQ (western U.S.)

After our light and lovely brunch at Bouchon, I had a late lunch/early dinner with my mom at Lucille’s Smokehouse BBQ.  Completely the opposite of our brunch! Lucille’s is a fairly small chain of restaurant located in California, Nevada, and Arizona, specializing in BBQ.  Ready to dig in?  I know I am! First of all, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Casa Inka (Fountain Valley, CA)

We had a quick dinner with my family and a friend who is practically part of the family!  They picked a restaurant that I had not tried before, called Casa Inka.  We do love our Peruvian food, remember our meals at Picca and Mo-chica?  🙂 The restaurant itself is huge, colorful, and there was some lovely […]

Honduras Kitchen (Long Beach, CA) #3

Another delicious lunch at Honduras Kitchen!  Check out the two previous times we ate at this restaurant here and here.  This time, we went with my guy’s coworker who bought a Groupon after reading my posts.  Fun! By the way, you are in the presence of royalty… or at least Yelp royalty!  I’m the Duchess […]

Katella Deli – Bakery (Los Alamitos, CA)

After our dinner in the Katella Deli restaurant, we had to take a look at the bakery!  Definitely one of our family’s favorites that we always visit for holidays, birthdays, and every other celebration. The bakery is attached to the restaurant, which makes it impossible to leave the restaurant without stopping by. This area has a […]

Honduras Kitchen (Long Beach, CA) #2

Since our first trip to Honduras Kitchen, I was eager to bring my parents, who I knew would just love it.  We had the chance to have a lunch with them on Saturday, and I gave them a few options that we should try… luckily they chose Honduras Kitchen, which I was secretly hoping for! […]
