David Myers' comme Ça isn't exactly the kind of pastel and flower-filled place where......

The Atwater Village Farmers' Market has a full roster of spring events. On Sunday, there's an Easter egg hunt -- hopefully featuring organic eggs from local vendors, right?). On April 19, Gil Boyd leads the Chef Demo, and there's photography arts and crafts on April 26. The market is every......

That hot chef-on-chef action people love is back soon. The next 5 x 5 Chefs Collaborative dinner (five LA chefs cook five courses, and invite an out-of-towner to cook a sixth) takes place at Michael Cimarusti's Providence on Tuesday, April 28 and features guest Michelin-two star chef Alessandro Stratta from......
