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 [...]

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 [...]

  • $/Person: $10-15

Nestled in next to the Radisson Hotel across from the USC campus, the Lab pretentiously pretends to be a higher-end dining experience than it really is, which they must think gives them the justification of marginally overcharging for every dish. The atmosphere is semi-interesting but somewhat sparse, with menus placed on clipboards and pictures of [...]

Well, the Birds took a poop in my mouth. Heated up some fried poop and just dumped it right in… I can definitely say that you come here to drink, and after about 4 cocktails, you order some food.  That is the only way this place has a chance at tasting good. Plus this is [...]

Finally one got it right! After all of my complaints about mediocre 3rd street/beverly/melrose brunch cafes I found one that is Raging and super popular. Blu Jam cafe actually figured out that great food and great service will blow any attempt to be trendy out of the water  (ahemm Toast). Everything I’ve tried at BJ [...]

Reasonable, decent, fast, simple, filling. These are the adjectives that I use to describe this beach bar located in my neck of the wooods. The burger is nothing special, but on a HAWTT beach day it is a fun place to grab a burger and beer and then hit the beach. They say they are [...]

Ain’t no sissy shit here! You better be a bold person if you’re walking into Jones because its the type of place that will knock you on your ass and I’m not talking about the cocktails. A cool wave of darkness will surround the booth in which you sit while you stare up at a [...]
