Favorite burgers, ranked in order of preference. (54)Here's some of my favorite burgers, ranked from best to worst. Most are from la, but there's an emphasis on ny & portland burgers. |
Best dining deals, ranked in order. (28)Here's some of the places I thought had the best value for more refined cooking. It reflects more about value while retaining a higher level of quality. This is not about the best food, this is about the best value although there is some overlap.The list is ranked in order, with #1 being the best. Poor values won't be listed. Also note that some reviews refer to special events or dinners, like a particular special, DineLA menu, Sunday Supper, prixe-fixe, tasting, etc. My review will refer to the specifics. It doesn't mean the restaurant as a whole is always a good deal, but knowing what to order can make a difference. |
Recommended auto services, not ranked in any order. (7)Here's where I like to have car stuff done, whether it be general repairs, tire install, aftermarket parts, dealers, driving event coordinators, or whatever auto related. |
