At what point should I be seeking professional help for a tart addiction?
Four in two days is totally fine. But, is it sick that I am considering going here every morning for my pastry fix?

The sour cherry, blueberry, and BUTTER tarts are only $1.50…More »

Please please please bring back the Negitoro Avocado! Oh my heavens, why hasn't anyone thought up Avo fries before?
This was by far the best plate on their menu, but for some reason they stopped serving it the last time I was there. Perhaps they too…More »

I am with Leroy L. on this Heart Attack Shack.
I didn't come here for the decor nor to sit up straight with a white linen napkin placed on my lap.
I came here because I was belligerently hungover on Saturday morning and I couldn't bare the thought of…More »

You want obscure?
Check out the titles on the shelf that require a cash deposit to rent.
Cool!

My only complaint is that it is difficult to read some of the DVD titles as they are stacked narrow side to side.
However, I think you could pretty much grab a…More »

Where else would I go for Easter Dinner?
I sat down at Legendary noticing that one of the chefs at a back table was repeatedly bopping himself on the neck and back with a wooden mallot.
Hmmmm?
We exchanged smiles and "nods", and I knew I had made the…More »

6:30 on a sunny Friday night and we walked right on in to our table, past the ridiculous line for Kintaro on the same block.
Motomachi is much better than Kintaro. Why?

The interior is a lot more inviting, you don't leave smelling like the…More »

Went to La Brasserie for Dining Out For Life last night and all I have to say is... D A M N !

  5/28/2009 First to Review

An almost perfect place to whack around a few golf balls on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I like this "course" as it is a bit on the shabby side, which makes me feel like a less crappy golfer. It is much better to show up on a random weekday when the…More »

I am happy to see Calli still alive and serving up proper Mexicano on Davie.
