One of my absolute fave LA people, Rissa, called me the other night with the news that she was about the encounter the one and only Comfort Truck. See what happened when she met the one and only Chef Brian Hill on her quest for some comfort food. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to Twitter, I have developed a mild fascination with gourmet food trucks in Los Angeles. On any given day, trucks can be found from the Valley to the South {Read More}
One Of These Things Just Doesn’t Belong …

Take a look at that salad… Seriously, take a look. Can you pick out what doesn’t belong there? Last week I went to lunch with some friends and we decided to check out Hamburger Mary’s. It’s a new spot that recently came to downtown Orlando and is definitely a fun spot. It’s perfect for this gal – I mean they even serve your check in a STILETTO! SL had been coveting their “to die for” salmon salad and, well, who {Read More}
A Night At Amada…

Amada is a Spanish tapas restaurant in Olde City, Philadelphia which was just a hop, skip and a jump from my hotel at Penn’s Landing. I {Read More}

Last Saturday, yours truly, along with a fabulous group of Florida Foodbuzz Featured Publishers had an evening out at Todd English’s bluezoo here in Orlando, Florida. The event was amazing, to say the least. My buddy, SL, and I departed for all things Disney and something about the hotel just reminded me of Palm Beach. Calm, serene and decadent. The restaurant didn’t {Read More}
(Another) Night At The Bourbon…

While I was in Philadelphia last weekend, plans were made to have dinner at one of our fave spots, Bourbon Blue. I encountered this spot first in April and it’s one of those spots that just sticks in your memory. See, while the Bourbon is great for cocktails and catching up with friends, one can’t ignore the fact that the cuisine there is top notch. IMO, their executive chef, Mark Ziebis, is a culinary wiz. My friends know that when {Read More}
