Unlock Great Flavors…
Word on the street is that The Church Key, located in West Hollywood in the Sunset Plaza area of the Sunset Strip, is a restaurant worth congregating in.

Taste of Hollywood…
Sunday, I stepped through the looking glass and had a dazzling brunch in classic Hollywood style.

Conscious Coupling At Barneys…
This past weekend I spent time consciously coupling with my husband.

In-N-Out Bucato….
I recently went on a date with a supposed sure thing that ended up having absolutely no redeeming qualities or soul.

Nobu…Surf’s Up
Ho hum, another picture perfect Saturday in Southern California. Top down, we cruised to Malibu. On the way home, David had an epiphany…I went with the flow as I am usually the in-house activity director so I was thrilled that he was attempting to contribute to our Saturday night plans. The traffic was heavy and…

Petty Cash Taqueria…
Recently, it was a cloudy, cool day in Los Angeles and it reminded me of Sunday brunches in my beloved New York City. Rumor has it that Petty Cash Taqueria is a happenin’ new restaurant and I was curious to partake because I had enjoyed such delicious food, attractive surroundings and glowing ambiance at Walter…

BOA Strikes My Fancy Every Friday…
BOA uncoils fun and tasty treats almost every Friday night when in Los Angeles.

Taverna Tony Restaurant, Malibu
At least twice a month we journey to Taverna Tony, a delightful Greek restaurant nestled in the back of the Malibu Country Mart at the base of Malibu Canyon.

Chateau Marmont Terrace Restaurant
What’s old is new again. Harken back to my rock ‘n roll days in the 80’s and 90’s. Every band wanted to hang at the pool, eat in the restaurant or bed down at the Chateau Marmont, a hotel nestled away on a steep hill in West Hollywood.
-
Vive La Republique…
I had a luscious blind date with a much younger Francophile. We were introduced through social media and decided to rendezvous last Friday evening.

The Breakfast Club…
It’s the middle of a grueling winter in the U.S. and presently, I am hangin’ in Los Angeles. I am aiming to piss off at least half of my readers by reviewing some cute little places to have breakfast outside by the water.

WOW…Orsa & Winston Is A Winner…
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…” Poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, created an imaginary persona to cover the fact that she was talking about her husband. I do not have to be covert about my feelings for a brand new restaurant.
-
Factory Fresh…
Factory Kitchen…a thriving, new northern Italian trattoria in the trendy arts district east of downtown Los Angeles, is my latest conquest. It is a former manufacturing complex that has been converted into luxury lofts.
-
Cuisine de Costco…
I sacrificed my body for this restaurant review. For my readers, I ingested a hot dog (without the bun, thank God), a slice of pepperoni pizza and a non fat yogurt.
-
Say It Ain’t So, Joe….
Last week, we made our annual pilgrimage to Joe’s Stone Crab, the stone cold, kick ass restaurant in Miami Beach, Florida.
-
Buccan Can…
Who knew Palm Beach had delicious food? Sophisticated cuisine has always run a distant second to adult beverages in the realm of the uptight, affluent Anglos. Case in point, when I lived with the Kennedy clan, food was white, tasteless and Pouilly Fuisse ruled the night.
-
Frenchie and Fabulous…
Before I bid adieu to French cuisine I wanted to turn you on to one more amazing Parisienne restaurant, Frenchie. This establishment has garnered fabulous reviews since the beginning and there is always a line outside the small, secluded restaurant which resides on a narrow cobblestone alleyway that used to be a landmark for thieves….
-
Fit For A King…
There is a new King in Midtown Manhattan…let me introduce you to Marc Murphy’s newest crown jewel, the Kingside restaurant. When Murphy isn’t serving up hot dogs and lobster rolls at Ditch Plains, moules (mussels) and the best damn French fries at Landmarc, he is completely ensconced at his regal new establishment in the boutique…
-
No Bones About It…
No Bones about it, this restaurant is a must when in Paris. Bones is a small, unassuming, but hip establishment on a narrow street near the Bastille in the 11th arrondissement. Australian chef, James Henry, gutted a former Irish pub and Bones was born. Henry had previously worked at Au Passage, in the Marais where…
