Son of a Gun is one of those rare restaurants that really wowed me the first time I dined there. I’ve recommended this place to numerous friends visiting LA, looking to have the best LA dining experience. After my first visit, I concluded that Son of a Gun was really doing something special here. So…

The Woodsman Tavern
I had been wanting to go to Woodsman Tavern for a long long time and finally got around to it thanks to some friends. Verde, Perpetually Underwhelmed, The Gunner (though she’s not doing much of that anymore these days), Big Spoon, joined me for some good ole grubbin’. Marinated Octopus pickled lemon, oregano capers…
Spaghetti with Pinot Grigio and Seafood
I don’t know what the seafood consumption of most average American homes is, but in my house growing up, we didn’t eat a lot of fresh seafood. I think my mom would buy a fried fish from the Asian supermarket and then she would cook frozen shrimps, stir fried or tempura style. My mom never…
Bluehour
I will rarely eat somewhere if the Yelp rating isn’t above 3 stars, but for Blue Hour I made an exception. I think I read somewhere that they got a new executive chef, and the menu looked really tasty. It didn’t hurt that it’s walking distance from my apartment too. It made for a nice…
PPQ Dungeness Island
I apologize for my long break from the blogger world. The holidays left me with little time to blog. I was flying back and forth from Portland to LA during my time off, and when I get to LA all I do is eat and hang out without much time for blogging. Plus, a lot…
Savoey
So after the previous nights less than impressive seafood, I got lazy and did not take pictures of the ONE meal with what ended up being the best tom yum kum soup I’ve ever tasted and freshest most tender prawns in red chili sauce. What I believed to be Aroonsom Food Park, was actually probably…
Ban Hat Rawai
After a long day of doing absolutely nothing at the hotel (ie: gym time, pool time, beach time, jet skiing, massages…torturous I know!) we figured it was time to get out and headed 45min south toward the tip of Phuket Island to Promthep Cape to check out the beautiful sunset. The long hot muggy ride…
Son of a Gun
Can you believe people are too busy to eat? For me, the world stops just so I can eat. Some how though, I have a hard time getting people to gather for a good meal. Always some ridiculous business about work, feeling sick, feeling tired, journal club, I mean the laundry list of excuses is…
Chowder Cook Off
Since Smooth Obturator moved to beach, he’s been trying to embrace the true “California fun in the sun” lifestyle and culture. He goes running on the beach, bike riding up to Santa Monica and down to Redondo Beach, and occasionally surfing if he feels like looking like a fool. It’s been nice to have a…
Pike Place Chowder
If you think about Seattle, 2 things probably come to mind: endless rain and GREAT food. When we decided to make a weekend trip to Seattle, I immediately started looking up places to eat. What is good travel without good food? That’s my philosophy anyways. I’ll probably never visit a place for the sole reason…
The Water Grill
DineLA descended upon the hungry citizens of Los Angeles last week. For $26/$34/$44 (depending on where you dine), you are offered a pre fixe dinner menu from a wide variety of restaurants throughout LA. My previous experience with DineLA has been really hit and miss. Locanda Veneta was superb, but Craft was stinkin’!. Sometimes Dine LA may not be reflective…
