White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

My major food weakness is potatos in general, and fried potatos in particular- french fries, tator tots, hash browns, these are all tastier than any dessert or candy I could have. Once I clear them out of my system for a couple of weeks through “cold turkey” detox, I don’t crave them as [...]

Just some comments on my food experiences the past 10 days- these will be a thing of the past for awhile as I settle into my pre-summer diet that started today (March 1st) and will run for 4 - 8 weeks until have the abs I want… see you later, sweet potato fries…
Pulley’s: The [...]

Nothing earth-shattering here, but just wanted to share a few downtown eating experiences from past few days.
Ma Petite- I’m afraid to say, but I think they may have one foot in the grave. I have never been blown away by # of people there (although I don’t go at lunch time weekdays which may [...]

I am SO PUMPED!!! Ever since Pulley’s pulled into the lobby of the Downtown Independant Theater (right behind the Higgins Lofts), on Super Bowl Sunday, I have been a daily customer. There is some serious synergy here- it just needs to have the lunch time crowds that stream out the doors of Pitfire Pizza [...]

Last night I had dinner at the new Fleming’s at Olympci and Fig in LA Live. It was great to return to one of my old South Bay haunts- there was a time I was eating at Fleming’s on Rosecrans at least twice a week- in South Bay it was pretty easy to get [...]

I used to rave about the weekend brunch at Redwood Bar as one of the best kept secrets around. But I cannot stand the place anymore, at least on Sundays, (I’m not so sure about Saturdays, as I’ve had the unfortunate luck of going 3 Sundays in past 5 weeks or so).
I used [...]

I was not joking in my last post about Ma Petit- I fully intend to exercise their menu to the extreme, and after eating breakfast there today, I was tempted back to try a pasta dish this evening. So I go there about 4:20pm (remember, I’m in bed by 8pm, at least to start [...]

When word spread that a new bakery was about to open in the neighborhood, I was less than excited, as I really don’t like sweets like cakes, cookies, danishes, etc. But when Rich over at Angelenic posted their menu- I took serious notice and was counting the hours until I could try some of [...]

UPDATE: Read Meeko’s comments- I guess they just changed their hours… I’m going to go celebrate tonite with a Kobe Flat Iron Steak- and praise the gods that Origami is still kicking…
My FAVORITE place for great food, drinks, and people, seems to be closed… I went by last night (Saturday) on a dog walk [...]

Downtown dwellers without dogs are going to feel a little left out this year, as two of the best parties are for DOGS! I am a big fan of Halloween- didn’t used to be, as in college I pretty much worked every Halloween as a doorman at a club (no costume allowed there), but [...]
