It is summertime, so that means barbecue season! If you follow me on Vintage Zest, you know that I tend to make vegetarian dishes at home because it just takes so much work and time for meat dishes (except my favorite Ropa Vieja “Tostada” Pizzas). To satisfy my cravings, I like to leave it to the experts […]

L.A. Street Food Fest 2014 (Pasadena, CA)
Last year, I had to miss L.A. Street Food Fest because I was out of town and it just nagged at me the whole year because I KNEW what I was missing… the best food event of the year! So when the date was announced, I cleared my calendar and impatiently awaited the date. 🙂 […]
The Sycamore Kitchen (Los Angeles, CA)
The Sycamore Kitchen is a restaurant that has been on my list for a really long time. It almost did not happen this time either, but a series of unfortunate events that ended up working to my advantaged occurred. 🙂 I was headed to a sewing blogger meet-up (for Vintage Zest) and ended up almost […]
Lee’s Sandwiches (Western U.S.)
Today’s post is about a chain that is a bit under the radar, even if you have one in your area. It’s Lee’s Sandwiches, a casual spot that serves both Vietnamese and European-Style sandwiches. Let’s dig in! The outside is the same at each location, and tends to blend in to surrounding shops. The menu […]

But first, a bit about the building itself! It was actually converted from an old Sunkist packing house […]
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, […]
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! […]
Greenspan’s Grilled Cheese (Los Angeles, CA)
After the TEAVANA Oprah Chai event, I was seriously hungry! I had skipped breakfast and was stuck in traffic for almost two hours before getting to the event, so all of that wonderful tea was the only thing keeping my stomach from growling. Well, the event was held at the Starbucks on Melrose, and I […]
