My birthday continues (wow, we certainly know how to stretch out a celebration, right?!). But sadly, the celebration is coming to an end. We’re back to Los Angeles from our weekend in Asheville, North Carolina, but Kevin had one more special night planned — a birthday dinner at Los Angeles’…
I can’t tell you how many times we’ve gone to San Diego since living in LA. About a 2 hour drive from LA (on a VERY good day), San Diego is a pretty easy road trip. Kevin had a conference here, but was able to take a break for a…
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a blog post. Part of this is because I’ve been swamped with my day job. But another part is that I’m slightly bitter since my last blog post completely disappeared. My server had a meltdown of sorts. Sigh… I’m over it (not really!). But I’m…
During our trip to Colombia, Kevin and I ate at some of the best restaurants in the country including Bogota’s famous restaurant Carne De Res (a freak show/restaurant all wrapped in one). You won’t go hungry in Cartagena – that’s for sure. Some of the best meals can be found here,…
We woke up at the crack of dawn today, and headed to the airport in Bogota (a place Kevin has become all too familiar with after we accidentally grabbed the wrong luggage upon arriving, oops!). Today’s plan was to head off to Colombia’s coffee region, flying to Peirera and then…

There is always something new opening up in Los Angeles. But the real test is staying power – and how innovative, or in many ways, how special a place can be. Right now, there is a culinary renaissance happening across the city. But especially in the corridor stretching from Chinatown through downtown…
It’s Valentine’s Day Los Angeles! Did you wait until the last minute to plan something special? Don’t fret. We got you covered, and have some quick and easy ideas to pull off a last minute date night. Here are some fun and romantic ideas — whether you got a wad…
Over the summer, my partner and I ate our way through India. I gotta admit. A big reason for visiting India wasn’t just the monuments (though the Taj Mahal was even more spectacular than ever imagined). I was probably more excited about eating Butter Chicken and curry every day. No…
There are few restaurants that can be described as culinary events — where it’s more than just a good meal but an experience. Most foodies know the good o’l hot spots like Thomas Keller’s Michelin-starred French Laundry, Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse and LA celebrity Chef Wolfgang Puck’s Spago. But what about Chef Diego Hernandez’s restaurant Corazon De Tierra?…
