Food Scene
Quick, easy, basic, and affordable family food.
The menu here seems to be ever changing and always good! One thing that never changes though is the burger, and after trying it, I see why. I'm not sure what makes it so phenomenal- the puffy brioche buns or the quality of the ingredients. Whatever it is, it's among the best burgers I've ever had. Ever.
We've also had a filet mignon here, bolognese, and a risotto with lobster butter. Everything was mouth watering.
For the starters, try the edamame hummus with fried pita chips, shaved broccoli salad, and/or duck liver.
Bottom line. You can't go wrong with anything you eat here. Enjoy!

Been coming to this hidden gem for years now and the food, service and staff have always been consistent!
The Le Fletan Au Chamapagne + Pave De Boeuf Au Porto Et Roqquefort and Steak Maitre D Hotel have always been my consistent favs. I sometimes wish they had better bread served like other places I've been too.
Ambience is a dimly romantic lit environment and parking is usually available on the nearby streets. If you feel in the mood and love fish then please try the Le Fletan Au Chamapagne -oven baked filet of halibut in champagne sauce and a parmesan crust. It melts in your mouth and it's just the right portion for sure!
Don't forget to read their sign as you open their front door.

Red Herring is such a gem. It's such a charming little restaurant in Highland Park, about a mile away from our place.
The restaurant itself is very inconspicuous and very easy to miss. The interior of the restaurant is boldly decorated with a beautiful emerald velvet couch in the corner by the bar. You must try the chicken and waffles!

Cozy diner with great breakfast! Also try the pulled pork sandwich. The food was yummy in general. I had one of their house specialties called the Noah's ark which was pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Obviously pretty basic, but good at the same time.

New local spot with great fresh and healthy items on their menu. All the salads and soups were fresh and so delicious. I believe their menu is seasonal. The service was good and friendly.

This famous spot was featured on Guy Fieri's "Drivers, Dive-ins, and Dives." Needless to say, this is a MUST try spot if you're one for a great BBQ. Try the House Cured Pastrami or The Royale Burger. Can't go wrong with this awesome spot! Great beers on tap as well.

If you love cheese, Milkfarm is the place for you! Raclette Night every first Friday of the month starting at 5 p.m. Just do it.
Milkfarm is such a cute boutique artisan cheese shop on Colorado! We came on Raclette Night. When you walk in you breathe in the smell of smoky cheese (probably how (my version of) heaven smells like), which is the raclette cheese that they're melting for each plate. They have cheeses and cured meats on display, and even sell other items such as jam, wines and spirits. Prices are a bit steeper than what you would find at your neighborhood market.

This classic Eagle Rock fixture is your classic LA diner. Great breakfast and lunch options. This place bustles on the weekends, and for good reason - it's just good food, and very reasonably priced for what you get. It's just good ol' classic American food. They randomly have Thai food as well on the menu (I think the owners might be Thai it seems). It's open till 4pm, just FYI. Highly recommend!

A lot of people from out of town ask me where the best Korean BBQ spots are. Road to Seoul is one of my personal favorites. It's all you can eat, and it's great quality meat. Expect a line on weekend nights - but it's well worth it!

Take it from a Korean - this is the #1 Korean BBQ restaurant in Koreatown. It really doesn't get better than this for the top-of-the-line, best quality meats done Korean style. Its walls are adorned with the pictures and autographs of many celebrity visitors who also know what's up. You can't go wrong here - but one thing to know is that it's NOT all-you-can-eat (and that's a good thing), and for good reason - their cuts are simply the best. Check it out - it's about 20 minutes away from our house by Uber/Lyft!

This is a legit Korean BBQ place, originally started in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea. It's one of my favorites. It's not all-you-can-eat, but I prefer it that way because the quality of the meats are significantly better. For a truly authentic Korean BBQ experience, check this place out! A 20-30 minute Uber ride away.

If you've ever seen pictures of people standing in front of a big group of street lights, this is the place! To get this picture yourself, visit in the evening when the lights come on. LACMA has numerous exhibits and makes for a great day out on the town. It's also next to the La Brea tar pits, which is in a large park right next to the buildings of the exhibits. In the summertime, bring your own picnic (and wine too if you can), and enjoy live music performances out on the grass in the central area of the museum. A MUST see!
