Raging Taste Buds

Ohhhh my! Do I love indulging my ugly face in some raging Japanese dishes. Move over Fu Rai Bo, enter Yabu. I strolled into this fine Westside establishment with my good Japanese friend who swears this place is pretty much as close as you can get to typical Tokyo dining in LA. Traditional…Check. Quality…Check. Raging [...]

As I scoured through Yelp this past Sunday to find somewhere to get my brunch on, I seemed to be closing in on a dead end, turning my iPhone off, and ending up once again at the Village Idiot. However, I didn’t feel like waking up hung over on Monday wondering why I spent 5 [...]

Rarely do I travel east of Western near K town to eat sushi. In fact, I never do. And rarely do I enter a sushi restaurant with the word fusion in the name and flags that scream beer at you wavering on the rooftop. But this night, I felt like getting a little dangerous. I [...]

You should definitely STOP if you’re about to head in the door of Go Burger. Unless of course you want to GO to the bathroom all night Or GO down on the shittiest $12 burger you’ve ever had. My God, Go boogers should come with a little sign that says caution slippery and wet. How [...]

This little upscale gourmet Italian deli/wine shop is a solid find. I don’t come here to buy wine or stinky cheese but what I do come here for is a raging panini.  While most sandwiches in LA are the same in one way or another, Froma makes some truly unique and gourmet paninis that will [...]

Just as I’m a sucker for the dirty dive stand that fails to keep its sign lit up and it’s kitchen intact… I’m also a sucker for the ultra cliche, trendy ass and most blown out of proportion…expensive restaurant. And just as I don’t like sitting on a broken down barstool at a dive bar, [...]

Finally! I found an awesome Taco joint with a good attitude, raging prices, and some retarded good tacos. AND I don’t have to do the following: Drive to some “gourmet” taco truck and stand in line with a bunch of hipster  B-holes only to watch my meat get cooked by a stove powered by Chevrolet.. [...]

Finally! A half way decent Mexican establishment in Mid-City. Antonio’s gives off a good look, a good feel, and an authentic vibe. It’s not their fault the blacked out guys behind us were screaming Mangina! and breaking glasses for 45 minutes straight. Meanwhile, I was staring at the prices on the menu thinking o Good [...]

I think I’ve tried just about every Shabu Shabu spot in LA and now I can officially check Mizu 212 off my list….In more ways than one. Maybe I got spoiled by Shabu Shabu house downtown and maybe I’m a bit picky, but Mizu 212 just didnt do it for me. Your pot of water [...]

A new 10! The infamous Egyptian Queen Cleo can rage my wet palate any night of the week! My God is this place Raging! Tuesday night and slammed. We were the lucky ones to steal a seat at the bar. The entrance is vibrant, engaging, energetic, and down right glamorous. Swarmed by dark reds, golds, [...]
