For Father’s Day, my dad had his choice of restaurant for brunch, and he chose The Belvedere at The Peninsula Hotel. In all honestly, I was not sure what to expect, but it was amazing! Yes, the restaurant is located in a hotel, but this is not your average hotel cafe. First of all, The […]
fōnuts (Los Angeles, CA)
I already know what you are thinking. Do I really need to know about a doughnut place in L.A.? The place right around the corner from me is just fine. As you may or may not know, original doughnuts have been a trend for a while now. Wait, then does that make it not a […]
The Sycamore Kitchen (Los Angeles, CA)
The Sycamore Kitchen is a restaurant that has been on my list for a really long time. It almost did not happen this time either, but a series of unfortunate events that ended up working to my advantaged occurred. 🙂 I was headed to a sewing blogger meet-up (for Vintage Zest) and ended up almost […]
La Boulange (Los Angeles, CA)
Today, I had the pleasure of going to La Boulange and it was simply magnificent! With so much to eat, drink, and see, I am amazed that I only sampled a fraction of the menu. A return visit is already on the works! Here is a sneak peek into the restaurant before it opens this morning! […]
Lee’s Sandwiches (Western U.S.)

Let’s dig in! The outside is the same at each location, and tends to blend in to surrounding shops. The menu […]
Candle Light Bakery (Norwalk, CA)

My friend was so lovely to bring me a few treats for my birthday, and this time I decided to photograph it just a bit better… 🙂 First, a rainbow of French macarons of all different flavors! Fruity or chocolaty, I […]
Anaheim Packing District (Anaheim, CA)
I was really excited to head to Anaheim to see something completely new that I had been hearing rumors about for a while now: The Anaheim Packing District! I had so much food that was really amazing. But first, a bit about the building itself! It was actually converted from an old Sunkist packing house […]
Slater’s 50/50 (Southern California)
I had heard of Slater’s 50/50 a very long time ago, and I figured that I would eventually get around to it. I was in Riverside, when a large group of us needed to find somewhere to eat. Luckily, the winning suggestion was their local Slater’s 50/50. Another one to check off of my list! So, […]
