Are you hungry? Well, if you aren’t now, then you will be by the end of this post! I visited the first location of Philly’s Best in Fountain Valley, which was opened in 1992 by native Philadelphian Bob Levey. I ate so much and loved it all. I’ll tell you about it soon, but first, let’s […]

Juice It Up! (California)
It’s mid-way through February already! Do you know what that means? It is American Heart Month, and Juice It Up! locations everywhere are celebrating by promoting some extra heart-healthy juices, smoothies, and açaí bowls. Seriously yummy stuff! I met with one of the scientists who makes sure that the menu is not only nutritious but delicious, and […]
Umami Burger (California & more) – Throwback Burger
Are you surprised that I have yet another Umami Burger post for you today? Yes, this is the third one (see posts #1 & #2), but when I was invited to try out the new Throwback Burger, I was super excited! The Throwback celebrates the new streamlined menu that will be found at all Umami […]
Umami Burger (California & More) + Pumpkin Spice Latte Burger!
As you might remember from my last Umami Burger post, this is a small chain that knows how to do burgers (and everything else) right! Last time, I went to the opening of the Irvine location, but after seeing this Umami Burger across from the Anaheim Packing District, I was itching to check this […]
Vital Farms at Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern (Dana Point, CA)

In addition to learning tidbits about the Austin-based egg-producers, we enjoyed a fantastic dinner with dishes especially created by the chef to feature Vital Farms’ eggs! Also, because Vital Farms wants to roll out the welcome […]
Zov’s (Anaheim, CA) – Grand Opening!
I have a very long history with Zov’s, so when I found out that a new location was opening in Anaheim, I was happy to be invited to a sneak peek before the grand opening! In 1987, the same year that Zov’s opened, my family was new to the Tustin area when I began going […]
Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival 2014 (Newport Beach, CA) #2
After yesterday’s amazing Day 1 of festivities at the Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival, I was wondering if it would be possible to match the festivities. No worries needed though, because it was absolutely lovely! As I teased yesterday, I attended the Indoor Kitchen Cooking demo by Shirley Chung of the soon-to-be-opened Twenty Eight. […]
Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival 2014 (Newport Beach, CA) #1
So you would think after last month’s L.A. Food & Wine Festival (see posts 1, 2, 3 & 4), I would have been wined and dined to my heart’s content. But come on folks, it’s me! Also, this is a different take on a food festival with all of the restaurants hailing the lovely city […]
