Cheesecake Factory

The Luau salad at cheesecake factory plays with your pallate in a way that is exillirating.  Leafy greens with tossed scallions, carrots,avacado, mango salsa  in between two layers of a crispy wanton square.  The sweet mixed with the tangy is great and even though the plate looks massive its still light so I was full but not in that thanksgiving open your pants way.  I went to the cheesecake factory in marina del rey, smaller than most and always busy. Lots on the menu so go there with a taste for something or you will get lost with what to get lol. I give it 9 delish stars.

Lets Get Cultural at Merkato

Steamy lunchImage by marymactavish via Flickr
So I had my first Ethiopian meal during my days in undergrad at UC Santa Cruz.  I have been in love with Ethiopian food ever since.  For those who don't know Fairfax between Pico and San Vicente is Little Ethiopia.  My fav spot is Merkato found at 1036 1/2 Fairfax Ave. La Ca 90019.  The spot has a cozy atmosphere. There is also a bar and store connected where you can buy different spices and items to make your own dishes at home. I love the veggie combination with the grilled fish.  Its a whole fish though so you should def have an eating partner. I give it 10 delish stars all day every day.

Biscuts From The Coffee Company

OK so you need to go get breakfast from The Coffee Company. You can find this cute little cafe on LaTijera near Manchester. Just about every sunday a few of my friends along with my mom and her friends go to Coffee Company.  There is always a line around the corner if you dont get there at the right time, which im not going to tell you so that time doesnt get busy lol.  We even have a special table by the window that the  hostess always seats up at.  My favorite is the homemade buttermilk biscuits. Some other favorites are the vegetarian sausage and the spicy chicken sausage. A great pallat pleased for a Sunday afternoon actress church. I give it 9 relish stars.

Serving Spoon.... Those who know, know

Chicken and wafflesImage by Salim Virji via Flickr
Have you ever been to The Serving Spoon???  If the answer is no what are you waiting for? I have been going to this downhome soul food spot on Centinela between Labrea and La Cienga for years, like since the 90's.  If you want to go "where everybody knows your name" Serving spoon is the place to go.  The church folk come out on sunday though so if you are the kind of person who hate lines go in the middle of the week but they close at 3pm so a lunch getaway might be the ideal time.  If you get the Jerry's Special which is one waffle and chicken wing drummettes you will never want Roscoes again. I give Serving Spoon 10 delish stars all day everyday.

The best wings in town right now

Ok so I used to think Hot Wings LA had the best wings. WRONG. KyoChon has the most scrumptious wings ever.  I had the signature wings and the spicy honey wings and potato wedge fries.  Let me tell you that spice is like no other make sure you have a tall glass of water.  For an appetizer I had broccoli salad with sunflower seeds that was really light and tasty.  It seemed to take the food forever to get there but that was because I was hungry. But let me tell you it was worth the wait. You can order online as well if you want to just pick your wings up and go.  There are many locations in Los Angeles and New York. But the quaint little spot I stumbled on was in the mid Wilshire district 3833 west 6th street Los Angeles, ca 90026.  I give it 10 delish stars

Visit a cafe in Los Feliz

I just love Los Feliz for a cute cafe experience on a Sunday.  Just finished brunch with friends at Fred 62 located on Vermont near Hollywood Blvd. . As I was walking to our table my mouth started watering as I looked at eveyones place.  Besides our waitress with the funky attitude the food was great.  I got a pancake that was amazing, egg whites of course and chicken sausage that had so much flavor I wanted to go slap the cook for a job well done. It taste like heaven. I would give it 9 delish stars but because of the waitress I give it 8. Its about the whole experience people train your wait staff.

Best Waffles in Town at Shanghai Reds Sunday Brunch



Im pretty sure most Angelenoes know about Sunday Brunch at Shanghai Reds in the marina.  All you can eat goodness with free flowing champagne what more can you ask for.  My fav is the omelet bar and the "Waffle Bar".  The best belgian waffle in town let me tell you, especially if you drench it in their fresh strawberry sauce and top it off with whipped cream.  A M A Z I N G.  Not to mention the wonderful waterfront view where you can soak in the sun and watch the yachts sail by as you sip your mamosa and enjoy the singing waiter if you are seated outside (those who know, know lol)..  For those who have not been to Shanghai what are you waiting on. There is a pasta bar, fresh crab and shrimp on ice, meat station, hot breakfast station, fresh fruit, sushi, fresh dessert bar and yes they even have a fondue station. You can find all this goodness at 13813 Fiji Way Marina del Rey, CA 90292.  Shanghai Red's Champagne Sunday Brunch is from 9am to 3pm.  I give it 10 delish stars.
