Raging Taste Buds

After years of eating my way through LA’s best and worst food troughs, I’ve recently felt compelled to share my experiences with world. Hello LA, I’m Hunter Max. Prepare to be dazzled by my culinary exploits. And it begins with the bejeweled skid mark that is Villa Blanca… Though the decor screams old money sophistication, [...]

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 [...]

This is a place you can really sink your teeth into. That’s right, the croutons aren’t just stale, your teeth actually sink into them. Seriously? In my opinion, it’s inhumane to sell salads with croutons like that. Of course, that’s just the Caesar’s salad, and this is a pizzeria. Yet, when I asked for a [...]

OK, So this post is by our Guest/Mystery Food Blogger. Enjoy, and please rate his skills and let us know if we should keep him around!! Buttery garlic knots, good Italian food, cheap house wine and some more buttery garlic knots……THAT’S A’MOREEEEEEEE!!!! If you thought filling up on chips at a Mexican food place was [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcomeeee backkkk! Sorry all for being so lame and not taking the time to write about how much my taste buds have been RAGING. I guess you could say I went off the deep end with my food choices. Maybe I haven’t been impressed, maybe I have been in a food [...]

Osteria La put some more in my mouth! Feed the buds moree!!!! This is exactly what we look for in a restaurant. The attention to detail is raging, the service is impeccable, and the food will make you Osteria in your pants. I’m starting to notice that all of the “Osteria” restaurants on Melrose are [...]

WOA Dan Tana’s! you caught me a little off guard tonight. So undercover on the outside yet beautiful on the inside. I like your style, keepin it O-rig-I-Nal. I was not expecting what I saw when I opened that inconspicuous yellow door. Red walls, checkered table cloths, old school swanky booths, staff in full tuxedo’s. [...]

This is going to be a short post, mainly because there is not a whole lot to discuss. I went to this place on Friday of last week for the first Friday of the month on Abbot Kinney. If none of you know what I am talking about then click this. Anyways, I walked around [...]
