Coachella 2012 Eat It/Screw It Guide!
Coachella. The mere mention of the word brings to mind incredible live music, throngs of dancing half-naked hippies, and rapping ghosts. But what, you ask, should I eat while I brave the hot desert sun (or chilly desert nights)? Fear not, for Lisa and I scoped out the joint last weekend and now we’ve got you covered with our handy-dandy Coachella Eat It/Screw It Guide!
I LOVE SPICY PIE...

Anonymous asked: Sorry to bother you, but we ate at Alma Food and Wine Pop-up last week on their opening night and was surprised to see so few people in Silver Lake have heard about it or gone in to check it out. They're serving dinner at Millie's Cafe for about a month. I know it's kind of weird to eat dinner at a place one night and then offer to help spread the word but we both enjoyed the dinner...

Road Trip: St. Louis, MO
Monte Bello Pizzeria (South County)
Watch this quick, one-minute video tour of Monte Bello:
Monte Bello Pizzeria, St. Louis, MO from LA Foodie on Vimeo.
Every once in a great while, I am fortunate enough to discover something wonderful like Monte Bello Pizzeria. This South County St. Louis pizza joint is so underground that it’s literally UNDER-goddamn-GROUND. There is no signage...

Road Trip: Wichita, KS
Bionic Burger
I wasn’t wild about this burger. But for what it’s worth, my wife Lori loved it. Bionic Burger’s special recipe involved pressing onions into the patty, and then serving it with pickles and mustard. I thought that the burger was a bit overcooked, and the onions were sharp- and astringent-tasting. Plus, there was too much bun for the burger, and it tasted too...

Road Trip: Dalhart, TX
The Grill
We were hungry, and we saw the sign. These are the best discoveries, aren’t they? This great little Texas burger joint hums at lunchtime. There is counter service and a handful of fast-food-style bench booths. The girls who work the kitchen and the tables are all pros. But above all else, this is a great hamburger.

It’s my favorite kind of hamburger, too. A...

Road Trip: Kansas City, MO
Mr. Hubbard’s Salt and Pepper
My parents belong to a riding and shooting club in Kansas City called Saddle & Sirloin. When my dad eats at the club house, they make sure to have his salt and pepper on the table for him. Awesome.

Road Trip: Williams, AZ
Twister’s 50’s Soda Fountain
Our first stop was Twister’s in Williams, AZ. I was interested to see what Williams, AZ looks like when it’s not covered in snow like the last time that I stopped here. (We also ate at a very different restaurant, which was the only one open at that time of our last visit.)
Williams is the starting point, for many travelers, of a Grand...

TRUCKIN' LA! M.O.Eggrolls
Combining the kosher meats of a Delicatessen with the deep-fried egg rolls of a Chinese restaurant, M.O.Eggrolls invited us out to sample their curious Montreal favorite with delicious results.

The MOE’riginal
Like Mu Shu Chicken (pork wouldn’t be kosher now, would it?) wrapped up and deep-fried, this was my favorite. Delectable with either the...

Road Trip: LA Foodie Style
I polled Twitter the other day, and enough people expressed interest in the idea of updates from cities other than LA that I decided to update the blog and Twitter when I travel. Well guess what? Lori (my wife), Walter (my son), and I departed on a road trip this morning before the sun came up. Our destination: Where else? Kansas City.
We’ll roll through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas (just the...

Hey, LA Foodie photographer Lisa here with our new feature, Make That Food! This week we tweeted…
OK guys, Lisa says “Dinnertime! You name the country, I’ll make that food!”
The answer we got back from @LAStylistMom was, “Slovenia.” So, after some quick research here’s what I made, using only the items in my kitchen…
