I eat: Mélisse
Let’s go back. Way back… Ok, maybe not that far. Back to 2010 when Henry and I dined at Melisse for my 26th birthday. Even though I’m a little fuzzy on the details (I can barely remember what I did last week ), I’ve considered Melisse one of my top ten restaurants ever since. Bread [...]
I eat: Bar + Kitchen
One of the benefits of working in Aerospace is the 9/80 schedule, which many companies are on. For those of you who don’t know, 9/80 = working 9 hours M-Th and 8 hours on alternating Fridays. Yesterday was my off Friday. Yesterday was also the last day of dineLA. On our day off, Henry and [...]
I eat: Redd
I’m always a little nervous when I return to a restaurant that I loved the first time. What if the quality has deteriorated? What if I was just really hungry? Did I just happen to order the best things on the menu? What if my second time is an off day? So many questions run [...]
I eat: Waterloo & City
When I think of the restaurants that I’ve tried during past dineLA Restaurant Weeks, I don’t recall ever having a fantastic experience at any one of them. My experiences have ranged from disappointing (Cube Marketplace, Grace) to average (Gordon Ramsay) and none have compelled me to make a return visit. In spite of this, I [...]
I eat: Traif
Our experience at Traif could not have started out any worse. We arrived 30 mins late because I thought our reservation was at 8:30PM – it was actually at 8:00PM. The hostess offered us the bar since our table had obviously been given away and we accepted. As we were settling in and figuring out [...]
I eat: Burma SuperStar [1],[2]
The first time I dined at Burma SuperStar, I waited 2 hours for a table. The meal ended up being worth the wait, but I was determined to not let that happen again. Unfortunately, I wasn’t more prepared my second time and it was another 2 hours spent waiting around. Sorry guys! Tip: Burma SuperStar [...]
I eat: ink.sack
Ever since watching Michael Voltaggio’s stint on Top Chef (season 6), I’ve been reppin’ Team Voltaggio all day, errday! Despite being a big fan, I never got the chance to try his food while he was at The Dining Room. SUPER SAD FACE! The only thing that comforted me was knowing that Voltaggio would be [...]
I eat: Petrossian [2]
I first dined at Petrossian back in Jan 2010 and it was one of the best experiences of the year. Fast forward a year and a half and my feelings have slightly changed towards the house of caviar. Petrossian may look the same from the outside, but it is very much different now. The ever-so-popular [...]
I eat: Grub
Until now, I had never been so repulsed by my meal that I stopped eating. So um, congratulations, Grub. You’ve earned this distinct honor. As we waited for food, we were given complimentary Fruit Loops and Coco Puffs to snack on. CUTE POINTS at least! I ordered the OOH LA LA! Egg Sandwich and it [...]
