I had to pry two pizza dough buns out of my boyfriend’s hands in order to make these burgers, which he resented at first. Until he took a bite of this burger. That’s when he declared this was the “Best Burger Ever”… and who am I to argue? Guessipe shredded parmesan pizza dough buns sriracha…

3.14 Pi(e) Day V
Well, COVID is still a thing, so once again we did a scaled-back gathering with fewer people in an outdoor setting. Even a global pandemic can’t get in the way of me and pie! Pie Day was a great opportunity to catch up with some of my fellow pie-loving friends, many of whom due to…
Maisel Day
Living in LA, you see lots of TV studios promoting their shows in the lead-up to the Emmys. Most of the time I just ignore them, but this year Amazon did a massively scaled promotion for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel… 1959 prices for goods and services at some of LA’s most iconic retailers! Most of…
Manuela Restaurant Review
Gold Dig #67 I think Manuela makes Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants list as much for its atmosphere as for its food. Located downtown in the Hauser & Wirth building, the restaurant blends into the art galleries with specially commissioned lighting and artwork of its own, and a patio that looks out onto the sculpture…
Ahhh Comfort Food
My friend Heather threw a comfort food dinner party, which meant lots of dips and spreads, mac n cheese, grilled meats, and s’mores… it generally involved a lot of eating with your hands. And eventually progressed to sipping wine by her amazing fire pit. Sign me up! Dips and Spreads We started with an array…
LocoL Restaurant Review
Gold Dig #40 LocoL is a fast food spot in Watts, which I think makes it onto Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants list as much for its mission as for its food. I fully support this. While the food might not compare to high end places where one dish will cost you as much as a whole tray…
Grand Central Market Restaurant Review
Gold Dig #36 Grand Central Market isn’t so much a restaurant as it is an experience. It is an indoor market in Downtown LA, filled with stalls of cooked food, fresh produce, breads, cheeses, and spices. I have somewhat mixed feelings about it being part of Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants list. I understand his love for…
Petit Trois Restaurant Review
Gold Dig #4 Petit Trois is a French bistro by Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo. It is a regular on Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants list. Jon and Vinny have a handful of restaurants all within about a 3-mile radius in the Fairfax area. In addition to Petit Trois, there is Animal, Son of a Gun,…
Plan Check Restaurant Review
Gold Dig #1 Plan Check is on Sawtelle, but somewhat past the Little Osaka strip of restaurants. It sits on a corner, and draws your attention because it seems to sit strangely by itself in the neighborhood but is also regularly packed with people, often taking advantage of the LA weather to fill the outdoor patio…
