[Breakfast: a Trader Joe's frozen croissant left to proof over night. Green tea.] I tested this cocktail over the holiday weekend and it got high scores. I wanted something that was seasonal and festive, but not too sweet. I couldn't...[More]
This is my go-to breakfast. It's also great to have after you've eaten a heavy meal the night before or around the holidays. It consists of Fage low-fat or non-fat (2% or 0%) Yogurt (which is still creamy and...[More]
[Breakfast: favorite egg-white scramble from Toast. iced passion fruit tea.] Coming back from France always makes me depressed, the main reason being that the food is so much better there. I met a shop girl in Paris who had spent...[More]
One of my biggest complaints about living in Santa Monica was the lack of good restaurants. Now Santa Monica has its own answer to Joan’s on Third: Huckleberry Bakery and Cafe. Well, Huckleberry is better than Joan’s on Third....[More]
I am totally crushed out on breakfast at Joan’s on Third. They even serve breakfast until 12 pm during the week. Had I known that Joan’s on Third made the perfect omelette, I wouldn’t have had to go crazy...[More]
[Breakfast: White tea and two lemon buttercream cookies.] Almost every weekend DK and I eat brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to Rustic Canyon on Saturday because I had an appointment that ran late. We tried...[More]
I decided to go to farmers’ market in Santa Monica this morning since I haven’t been in ages. Why not try Anisette’s first day open for breakfast as well? I promised myself last time that I wouldn’t try a...[More]
[Breakfast: Granola from Rustic Canyon. Green Tea.] Now this is serious food porn. How did I resist the pâtisseries in France? I didn't. I always resign myself to the fact that I'll gain a few pounds when I go to...[More]
I'm back from France and jet lagged. I could have used another couple of days in Paris, but we can't always get what we want. Damn Air France! I will have a Cannes Swag Giveway coming up this week,...[More]
I waited a few weeks to try Rustic Canyon’s new Saturday breakfast/brunch. Frankly I was nervous that the main draw was pastries. If you’re ever in San Francisco and go to Tartine, you’ll understand this fear. When I’m surrounded...[More]
Time Warner Cable is really awful. The internet has been down since yesterday afternoon! It's semi-fixed now. Here's a Holly Golightly inspired cocktail from Dale DeGroff who wrote The Craft of the Cocktail. It can be found in Pamela...[More]
[Breakfast: skipped] One thing I keep on forgetting to tell you is that I was a victim of identity theft. I had used a mail drop box to mail my credit card bill. Someone stole the letter from the box...[More]
[Breakfast: Sour cream coffee cake and green tea] Comme Ca translates to “as is” in French which isn’t the most compelling name for a restaurant. Turns out it wasn’t the most compelling restaurant to eat at either. Always on the...[More]
[Breakfast: Brioche from Breadbar and chamomile tea.] I dragged DK into Barneys New York yesterday because I had to return something. It was also a good excuse to brunch at Barneys Greengrass. I switched it up this time and had...[More]

Do any of you remember when I got the worst food poisoning in my life? I got it at Hugo's in West Hollywood. You can read about it here and here. My stomach was messed up for months after that....[More]
Click Photos to Enlarge One of my favorite meals in San Francisco was brunch at a Provencale French restaurant in Cole Valley (upper Haight) called Zazie. It's one of those restaurants that really bums me out 'cause there isn't...[More]
