We heard Shaquille O’Neil opened a chicken place in Las Vegas. The Big Chicken restaurant is located across from the famous Hofbrauhaus in a strip mall. We went mid week at around 5:30 pm, so we knew it wasn’t going to be busy. It wasn’t. There was a […]
We were in Marina Del Rey for a wedding, and spent the night at the Marriott. I yelped a breakfast place, and the Nighthawk Breakfast Bar was a 15 minute walking distance from the hotel. The outside was just a plain looking storefront with a neon sign that […]
Veteran food truck, Soho Taco (@SohoTaco) remodeled their Santa Ana office to house a showroom dedicated for clients, and I was honored to be invited to their kickoff gala. The decor is warm and inviting, and plenty of seating from traditional tables and chairs, to the comfy sofa […]

There’s a food hall in Anaheim called the Anaheim Packing District. The hall used to be the packing center for citrus in 1919. Now, its a culinary collection of 50 food and beverage kiosks, and hidden on the first level is this Speakeasy called the Blind Rabbit. Find […]

Another trip to Las Vegas.. where to eat this time? Stephen suggested going to our “go to” Italian Deli, but I was craving grits. There is a restaurant in North Las Vegas called Grits Cafe but it’s a tiny place that gets busy on weekends. I didn’t really […]

I was trying to find something special for Valentine’s Day and came across the “Classic Disney Afternoon Tea” inside Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel. The hotel was also integrating the “Mickey’s 90th Celebration” as a tea theme, so their “normal” afternoon tea included specially decorated treats for […]

What a hidden gem!! You really do need to know it’s here, as it’s tucked in the back of a strip mall, near a Jack in the Box and sandwiched between a WaBa fast food and Pilates place. On the outside, it looks like a fast food joint, […]
On Wednesday, it was #NationalBaoDay! So, what’s a Bao? If you google it, you’ll probably get the Pixar animated short “Bao”, about a Chinese woman suffering from empty nest syndrome, and brings to life a little dumpling to represent her son. In food, they are steamed buns called baozi, […]
I’ve had Cali Tacos bookmarked for the longest time, but hesitate on going because the one on Chapman had the reputation of having poor parking and crowded. Then, this location at 1631 17th Street opened up, and I took advantage that not too many people knew it was […]
I wanted to take my friend, Roger, out for his birthday, and he wanted to come to Home Kitchen, a mom n pop, hole in the wall, tiny little restaurant in Gardena. There’s plenty of different things on the menu, and they even have a Bento box of […]
