Here, Eat This! The Adventures of Kiki Maraschino. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Much of the buzz at Track 16 art gallery one night was surrounding the Dosa Truck parked outside. Thanks to their menu of samosas, masala fries, and their main attraction, filled dosa "wraps" at reasonable prices, there was a constant buzz around the truck. I asked, "Did you consider a heartier bread, like naan? But it's called the Dosa Truck". Well, then it would be called the Naan Truck.". But I love the dosa.". Since they ser...

Malbec Might Be Better Than Men. May 13, 2010. Arianna's Wine Tasting Notes. Remember those drunken high school Spring Breaks? You know, the kind with vast bodies of water, cruising some sort of strip, 12 kids packed into a quasi-clean motel room and rampant instances of unsafe behavior – both before and after the consumption of bathtub gin and fruity wine coolers. One thing I always link with those shame-filled memories are the ultra. I took this IROQ Z. We’ll call it “research.”. From Mendoza, Argentina.

2005 Zaca Mesa Syrah, Santa Ynez Valley. September 2, 2009. Jess' Wine Tasting Notes. A few weeks ago I went to a tasting event hosted by the Rhone Rangers. Which is an organization focused on wine produced from Rhone varietals grown in the United States. Being a Southern California event, most of the wineries (if not all) were from Paso Robles, Santa Barbara, and the Santa Ynez Valley appellations. Buy cialis online canada. 2005 Zaca Mesa Syrah. On tonight's trip to Costco I noticed the Zaca Mesa S...

Killer Shrimp: Saving Los Angeles. Killer Shrimp: Saving Los Angeles. Has Los Angeles finally found it’s own “authentically L.A.” dish in a fish dish created by a Rockstar Surfer Bro? We can have an interminable dispute on whether Los Angeles rides the coattail of New York City or any other major city in the United States when it comes to food, and culinary trends. Valentino (of Trippy Food. The unique and well seasoned broth began as a family dish, and has evolved into greatness that I believe can attra...

Kirkland Signature Chardonnay – from Costco… Really! September 13, 2009. Jess' Wine Tasting Notes. 2007 Costco Napa Valley Chardonnay. I noticed recently that Costco has come out with more wines in their Kirkland Signature wines line and naturally, since I'm there once a month trolling the wine bins like the wine whore, er value seeker, that I am, I picked up a bunch more of 'em. It doesn't seem to be on their website (I think because it's only available in California), so if you live in Califo...Last ni...

My Introduction to the C. Donatiello Winery. May 26, 2010. Jess' Wine Tasting Notes. Last month I was kindly invited to a pre-release luncheon for C. Donatiello Winery. At the lovely Chaya Brasserie in Beverly Hills. Rarely one to turn down free wine or free food, I gladly accepted the invitation and waited for the big day. Since I'm hyper-punctual (thanks, Mom! Chris was also interested in making great Pinot Noir (who isn't? And here for Healdsburg Ranches. Release price $24 per bottle). I always fe...

November 18, 2009. Jess' Wine Tasting Notes. The GrapeSmart gals and their pimp-for-the-day, Wilfred Wong. A beverage superstore local to California and Arizona, recently opened its 100th store, and Jess, Mitch and I trekked all the way to Rolling Hills Estates to help them celebrate (see Bordeaux Wines That Won’t Break The Bank. The expansive wine, beer and spirits “mega-tasting” was probably an incentive…. Our $15 tax-deductible entrance fee went straight to Boys and Girls Clubs of the South Bay. At th...
