Uh…. derrrrr.
Every night I watch Hell’s Kitchen, I seem to always get distracted by the unjustified over-confidence and out-right STOOPID look on Bobby’s face every time he talks. He’s especially grating when he grandstands with his gaping mouth and half-shut eyes. So help me GAWD I want to just throw my martini [...]

The other night I had the chance to check out the Korean owned and operated BBQ Chicken, a restaurant poised to slowly take over the world one bird at a time. In the end, I had the very tasty meal but really shitty service. But hey, what’s good Korean food without a little [...]

Lately it’s been hotter than Chef Gordon Ramsay’s panties here in Southern California. So, what better way to endure the heatwave than to have a gourmet lunch in Laguna Beach? Last week that’s exactly what I did.
Last Friday I had the opportunity to attend a business meeting at The Loft, located at The [...]

WTF was that?! Last night on Top Chef, Andrew got his ass kicked off for insisting (INSISTING, I tell you!!) that Chicago Cops must trade in their regular fare for …… SUSHI?! What made it worse was how he argued with the judges that he didn’t have to follow the rules and make [...]

Regina Shrambling of the Los Angeles Times came out with a rather in depth article which covered online options for those with (or without) Michelin aspirations.
