Cacio e Pepe Ramen
In a flash of epicurean genius, Sarah decided to whip up a batch of David Chang‘s Cacio e Pepe Ramen for dinner last night. And while it’s not something I’d eat all the time — it was actually super rich — I wouldn’t be against downing another bowl of it at some point in the (nearish) future.

Press Your Heart Out
Since Christmas, I’ve been brewing most of our coffee through the Aeropress that Sarah gave me. And while we’ve really enjoyed the coffee — especially when you compare it to what we’d get out of our old $20 drip pot — the process has started to make me obsess over all the little tweaks I…

Ice Ice Baby
I’ve been thinking about cold brewing some iced coffee kind of a lot lately. Well, mostly since we signed up for a Tonx subscription. Fortunately, gridwriter just pointed to a year old (but extremely evergreen) primer on iced coffee.

Underground Eats
File under “things I didn’t know about 505 Flower before tonight”: Despite almost everything else in the complex dropping their shutters after lunch, Saffron stays open until 9 PM. So now I have an option other than Subway, Carl’s Jr., Famima, The Standard or Casey’s. Even better is the fact that it’s Indian food. Which…

How Come You Taste So Good?
Tamales have to be my favorite part of the holiday season, hands down. Unfortunately, I only seem to have gotten a grand total of two of them from any of my coworkers or friends this year. Oh well, at least the ones I had were downright tasty…

A Bottle Full Of Guilt
“In Fiji, a state-of-the-art factory spins out more than a million bottles a day of the hippest bottled water on the U.S. market today, while more than half the people in Fiji do not have safe, reliable drinking water. Which means it is easier for the typical American in Beverly Hills or Baltimore to get…

One More Time At Trader Vic’s
My friend Soren pointed me towards the sad news that the Beverly Hills Trader Vic’s — the oldest Trader Vic’s in continuous operation — may very well be be closing its doors on May 1st. If this is true, I think drinks are in order on Tuesday night. Anyone in? Update: Humuhumu checks in with…

Mao’s On Melrose
After leafing thru a few of my recent Twitters, I was reminded of a huge mural I saw on the side of a building on Melrose for Mao’s Kitchen. So I did a little searching and I managed to come across a thread on Chowhound where another observant individual seemed to notice it too. If…

Say What Now?
I received this communique in my fortune cookie at the Chinese place today — and I’m still trying to figure out what the hell it means. It doesn’t even make sense if you add “…in bed” to the end of it! P.S. Is it bad when your boss chuckles and says, “I’m sure you can…

Cause And Effect
Because I went to go get Chicago dogs with the guys at work, my insides are totally hating on me now. How can something that tastes so good hurt that much? It’s just not fair…

The World’s Most Perfect Food Gets A Holiday
I know St. Patrick’s Day is a big deal to all the party people out there, but I’m a bit more excited about the world’s most perfect hangover holiday… National Corndog Day! Just thinking about it makes me salivate at the thought of all of the wonderous corndogs I could — and will — be…
