More like Plancha: “we poop in a tortilla and throw some lettuce on it.” If you think that’s gross then you really don’t want to know how sick you’ll feel after you take a bite of a Plancha’s taco. This place blows. The sign outside looks like it came from the slums of Guadalajara and [...]

All The Hype and all the glory. Pizzeria Mozza is legit. Fine pizzas cruising out of a wood burning oven with a packed crowd. A perfect setting (sit at the bar), a perfect selection of fine pies, and unfortunately…..a very expensive night at the pizza parlor. I left this place with my girlfriend $90 later. [...]

It’s always nice to look over your balcony to see a criminal (surrounded by police with guns drawn) laying face down in the middle of the street. You can find this internet in the pic below.  That was just prior to my walk over to Mario’s Peruvian Seafood which looks like a broken down gas [...]

Everybody in So Cal has their late night Mexican spot. You know, the place you go to in the middle of the night after taking your 10th shot of Jose Cuervo, gagging, and then punching your friend in the face who bought it for you. Then you run to the bathroom thinking you have to [...]

I’m tired of these Los Angeles 3rd street, Beverly, & Melrose sidewalk, upscale breakfast/lunch/dinner cafe’s. BOOOOOOOO. You’re all the same. I went to LuLu’s on Beverly the other night when not one single customer was there. So whats on the menu? I already know…Pancakes, crafty omelets, soups, sandwiches,  wraps, and salads….Ughhhh way to stand out. [...]

  • $/Person: $20-30

Right smack in the middle of the biggest “village” in America (Los Angeles), lies a restaurant that serves old English pub style food and well priced pints of beer. The owner of this restaurant is far from an idiot. In fact, trying to understand where the “idiot” fits into any part of this restaurant is [...]

Pretzel Crisps Ad – “Thin and Stacked – better than your old bag at home”

After being asked by several readers why we only write about restaurants and not other things going on in the food industry, we have decided to give them a taste of what they have been asking for. And let’s start with Pretzel Crisp ad’s and the negative attention they are getting for displaying ads that [...]

WA WAAA WAAAAA, wow that’s fun to say. I attended this little joint with a friend of mine who is from Japan and has some pretty raging t-buds so I expected the meal to rock my mouth better than Sushi Ike. Upon seeing the place, I would never had gone in unless invited by a [...]

YES! The one thing that goes through our minds when we eat any dish at this restaurant. YES, Tori PiriKara, YES Tori Wasai Goma, YES, ……….. YES, ………….. We love this place and  have one good friend to thank for showing us this Japanese restaurant. It’s for sure a Raging Taste Bud’s favorite. No, it’s [...]

OK. So for our FIRST EVER “Featured Hot Spot” (and our first post written together), I think we picked a pretty damn good place to kick it off. And the manager had some serious balls to call upon us not knowing how we’d rate it. If you haven’t been over to Larchmont Village recently then [...]
