Still undecided on a Halloween costume? With only a few days to go until every man, woman, child and family pet transforms themselves into some version of a super hero, sexy nurse, pirate, and four-legged bratwurst, we've got an idea that may help disguise you and get you a $2......

In a list of guilty pleasures about a mile long, two things rise to the top. First, the TV show Glee. Second, the slushie: a brain freeze-inducing, icy concoction sold at most convenience stores and movie theaters. Lucky for us, we can (sort of) enjoy both while watching the TV......

In barely the blink of an eye, food blogging has exploded. Sometimes it seems that hardly an accountant, construction worker, or production assistant is without a personal blog detailing their relationship with food, or at the very least, the organic heirloom tomato salad they bought from a food truck for......

If you missed last month's Taste of Beverly Hills or Wolfgang Puck's American Wine & Food Festival, mark your calendar for October 24, when Los Angeles Magazine hosts The Food Event 2010: From the Vine at Malibu's Saddlerock Ranch. The event, now in its fifth year and hosted by Merril......

When it comes to our morning coffee, in a perfect world we'd all wake up late, stroll to our neighborhood coffee shop and linger for an hour or two over a perfectly-brewed cappuccino, espresso, or caffè latte. But in reality, our rushed schedules barely leave us enough time to dash......

When it comes to sausages, one might think of chicken, pork or turkey fillings. But what about buffalo and chipotle? Duck and jalapeno? Alligator and andouille? It's exactly these unlikely flavors combinations that have propelled downtown L.A.'s Wurstküche -- the self-exclaimed of "purveyor of exotic grilled sausages" -- to a......

When it comes to L.A. produce, the beginning of fall brings us a seemingly endless supply of heirloom tomatoes, peppers, pears and perhaps the most seasonal produce of all: the pumpkin. Considering Southern California's climate isn't conducive to falling leaves, crisp air and the like, we admit we look forward......
