I’ve always enjoyed quick service Asian food as far as I can remember. The first chain that I frequented as a little one was Yoshinoya. It still holds a special place in my heart with the steamed rice, pickled ginger & all but a girl needs some variety too. Yogi’s Teriyaki isn’t too far from me but I always seemed

In college, I’d treat myself once a week to grocery sushi. When you’re living on practically nothing, grocery sushi is a big deal. I still grab grocery sushi every now & again when I’m in a pinch but I crave fresh sushi more than anything. However, I don’t want all the pomp and circumstance of a full on restaurant sometimes.

If there’s one thing I’ve been on the lookout for, it’d be pho. Spending my high school & college years in FL, pho just seemed like something so exotic. I probably don’t have to tell you this, but we didn’t have any Vietnamese or Asian Fusion restaurants in little ol’ Brandon, FL, at least during the time I lived there.

The truck had eluded me. I’d catch it unexpectedly, and have a full stomach. Was it not meant to be? I was wrong! I finally caught the Eat Phamish truck at West High’s food truck fundraiser right here in my own backyard. It was a beautiful day in the South Bay. With that being said, the truck wasn’t serving pho

I hated curry. I didn’t like the smell, the strong taste, nothing about it. I’d see it on a menu & would turn away. Fortunately, that all changed when I helped judge a vegetarian cook off last month. So, when a friend asked me to join her for lunch at Curry House, instead of immediately suggesting something else, I was

Once again I decided to try a restaurant that I passed countless times on my 2 year commute from Hermosa to the LAX Marriott where I worked. This time, it was to Manhattan Beach; the one beach city that I admittedly have neglected. The destination? The simply named Thai Dishes right on busy PCH. The tiny temple like building felt

There’s millions of food blogs out there. You can find almost any recipe under the sun by simply typing in its name in a search engine. I see a lot of beautiful pictures of home cooked meals right here in my blog feed. I bookmarked tons & tons of recipes so I could prepare them later but found the days
