Raging Taste Buds

Any breakfast lovers out there? ATTENTION. Calling all breakfast lovers: Get your asses downtown, PRONTO. Leave Ms. Eve at home, because I’ve discovered your new Paradise. You’re welcome. This place is usually pretty packed in the morning, and for good reason. I’m talking delicious french toast you go back for seconds for. I’m talking bacon [...]

Your mom makes the best eggs? No, she doesn’t… Wild Oats does. You may ask, how do you make “the best” eggs? With your wild oats, Duh! Fluffy, thick, beautiful eggs. I’m not a morning person but when I wake, I get excited to venture to Wild Oats, get the All American Breakfast, and watch [...]

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 [...]

Having the word Flaming in your name is just a set up for disaster…and now I’ll have a field day with that word. Ok, stripmall on Vine, looks a little sketchy, took me a while to get myself in Flaming Pattys door..but I finally did on a sunday afternoon. For me it was breakfast time [...]

What the weirdooo…this place had me all creeped out. It’s not for me, or Roy, or really anyone I know. It’s for the person in the picture to the left. Usually when I see someone like that I turn and run.  Ughhh. Ok, I read the yelp reviews before going. Most are like “OMG this [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

If you want a visual definition of “hole in the wall”, be sure to check out Aladdin’s on the corner of Pico and Hope in downtown LA. It gets a 9 for atmosphere because it is a true hole in the wall. If you think you know of somewhere that’s more of a hole in [...]

After an early surf mid-week or brunch on a Saturday, this happening Manhattan locals spot is KILLER! Be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes on the weekends, especially for the limited seating outdoors. If you come during the week you will be able to get seated right away inside and may wait 5-10 minutes [...]

To start, we don’t usually write posts about restaurant chains but I thought I’d share my two cents on Panini Cafe since so many people think its amazing.  I have been to 3 of the 6 Panini locations and they are all mediocre at best. In fact, thinking back on the price paid for the [...]
