Burritos
If you’re in Kapaa, why not stop at Burritohead? We went because it’s owned by a friend of a friend, but we’re talking about going back because of the food. As you might guess, they have burritos–as well as tacos,… Read moreBurritos

Shrimp, Glorious Shrimp
In the town of Waimea, on the south shore of Kauai, is a roadside restaurant called Shrimp Station. Actually, “restaurant” is a generous term–it’s basically a cookstand with a patio. But no matter how basic the setup is, the outcome… Read moreShrimp, Glorious Shrimp
BBQ in the Valley
Last night we made our second trip to the Bear Pit. It’s not my favorite BBQ spot in the San Fernando Valley, but it’s a nice family place that is clearly a local favorite. I found the chicken and spare… Read moreBBQ in the Valley
And You, Sir, are No Pinkberry
I was walking up Westwood Boulevard today and spotted Mr. Snowberry, on Weyburn. It’s on the north side of the street, just east of Westwood Blvd. And the verdict? Pass on it. The yogurt is chalky and just not good…. Read moreAnd You, Sir, are No Pinkberry

Welcome to Pink’s
Pink’s, on La Brea just barely north of Melrose, claims to be the “Home of the World’s Best Chili Dog.” There are lots of chili dogs I like, but I do have to say that Pink’s is up there. They’ve… Read moreWelcome to Pink’s
El Pueblo Viejo
Looking for a small, hole-in-the-wall local place with good and affordable Mexican/Salvadorean food? Try El Pueblo Viejo in Culver City. The chile rellenos are crisp, spicy, and cheesy, and the mole is dark and rich. The chips seemed a little… Read moreEl Pueblo Viejo
Indonesian Delight
I’ve discovered Ramayani, in Westwood. It’s on Westwood Boulevard, just north of Santa Monica, in a little rabbit warren of restaurants (and one dry cleaner). Although I haven’t eaten Indonesian food since a trip to The Netherlands more than 25… Read moreIndonesian Delight
