Just a couple of weeks ago, George Abou-Daoud owned seven restaurants in Los Angeles (The Bowery, Delancey, Gelatovino, The Mercantile, The Mission Cantina, Rosewood Tavern, Tamarind Ave. Deli). But as of last week, he has an eighth, Township Saloon, which begins serving lunch today, and stays open until 2 a.m......

We, and maybe you, continue to spend the majority of our time cooking at home, rather than eating out. Learning how to make things like New Orleans-style boudin blanc, and Sardinian malloreddus, seems to bring us a good bit more joy these days. So today, we continue our experiment with......

Some of us have been going out a lot less these days. But rather than unnecessarily spending twenty dollars on a rare gueuze at Father's Office, we've been throwing our money at things like Scharffen Berger chocolate, or imported speck from Alto-Adige, to use in our kitchen back home. Sure,......

There is a lot of Korean barbecue to eat in Los Angeles, and you've probably already decided which restaurant is your favorite. In fact, we think it's high time the city banished any residents who haven't formally declared their go-to galbi spot by now. Nonetheless any healthy, committed relationship should......

When we left Part 1 of our interview with Kevin Bludso, he had been talking about barbecue tours, the merit (gasp) of food blogs, and how his 90 year-old granny is still drinking Hennessy, and still working the pit. For Part 2, the man behind Bludso's BBQ in Compton talks......

Does Kevin Bludso make the best brisket in town? There are certainly a lot of people who think so. The Compton man with Texas roots opened Bludso's BBQ about three years ago, and his small shop was quickly discovered and pushed through the cycle of Internet food fanaticism. In short,......

With the NBA Playoffs underway, things haven't exactly gone according to plan for the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. They've split their first four games with the plucky New Orleans Hornets, and now news has broken that rookie forward Derrick Caracter was arrested in New Orleans early Sunday morning, and......

Maybe we were being a little selfish. But when faced with the prospect of deciding what to eat for this week's food fight, we found ourselves in West L.A., sitting on a couch with some NBA playoff games about to start. So rather than rush through a pair of tongue......

We love big hunks of tender, southern-style fried chicken, brined overnight in buttermilk, seasoned, dredged, and then fried in a cast iron skillet full of Crisco. But more and more, Los Angeles seems to be turning into a Korean-style fried chicken town. The pieces are smaller, the chicken is double-fried,......

In Los Angeles, we have access to a lot of sausages. They come in many different sizes, hail from almost every continent on earth, and boast a diverse representation of the animal kingdom. They can be raw or cured; smoked, grilled, boiled, fried, or steamed. But on a hot afternoon......
