MB Post: A Very Naughty Restaurant
MB Post, the short form of Manhattan Beach Post, has been a buzzing Los Angeles area restaurant for several months. A Modern American gastro pub, this David LeFevre helmed establishment reportedly packs them in on a nightly basis; so during the LA stop of my West Coast tour, I made it a point to take …

Eater Atlanta’s New Guest Editor
Eater.com’s Atlanta outpost has a new GUEST editor (temporarily that is). While Jennifer Zyman, aka Blissful Glutton to most ATLiens, is out on maternity leave, one Jennifer Maley quietly slipped in last night. I have zero information on Maley, she seems to have appeared out of nowhere – so I’m not sure if she’s part …
Pizzeria Mozza: In Want of A Wow Pizza
As I stepped into Pizzeria Mozza I was knee deep in the Los Angeles portion of my West Coast escapade. By then, my stomach was well-coated with some of LA’s greatest culinary offerings; but, that didn’t diminish my anticipation for this pie.

SAAM at The Bazaar: A Seminal Meal
For me, SAAM at The Bazaar, the intimately tranquil private chef’s tasting room hidden within The SLS Hotel Beverly Hills, has long been an “I want to go to there” restaurant. It’s one of several unique dining experiences offered inside the upscale Los Angeles hotel, which essentially serves as the West Coast fortress of chef …
Cheesesteaks, Hot Dogs, and The LA Food Truck Paradigm
In my brief flirtation with Los Angeles food trucks, I manage to sample, or at least attempt to sample, four diverse offerings that each presented some insight into the current state of street food in LA. I already waxed foodetic about Kogi, whose food may not be worth the 45 to 60 minute wait that can …

Recipe Organization: A Techie’s Tip Guide
Nearly every home cook I know has a system for organizing their recipes. Some of my older friends (and a few of the younger one’s as well) use a classic card system. My mother, for example, has this little open top card box stuffed to the gills with all sorts of recipes. Some of my …
