		<title>The Slaw Dogs - Pasadena</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In between consulting with a hair and make up gal who charged $400 for her services and visiting a bridal store that threatened a $100 rush fee for simple alterations, I gladly dug into some (relatively) cheap hot dogs at The Slaw Dogs. After being gouged left and right, the gourmet wiener shop felt like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chicken Liver Pâté</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Growing up, I always called dibs on the gizzards  whenever my mom roasted or fried up chicken for dinner. Unlike the chalky livers and slippery hearts, the gizzards were deliciously chewy and mostly neutral in taste. A quick sear with a sprinkling of salt and pepper made for a side dish that oftentimes surpassed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jitlada - Los Angeles (Hollywood)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first dinner at Jitlada was a bit of a blur. Our party was thirty something large, and each of the fifteen dishes that we ate were chosen beforehand by the host. All I remember from that evening was socializing with a lot of interesting people and being treated to an avalanche of bold, sweat-inducing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Church &#038; State - Los Angeles (Downtown)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s really no need for me to recount the wonderful dinner I had at Church &#38; State last week. By now, every blogger, critic, and casual eater knows that the downtown bistro is a gem. And more importantly, the man who made the restaurant what it is today has one foot out the door. Like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Starry Kitchen - Los Angeles (Downtown)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I, like countless others, intended to eat at Starry Kitchen when it was an underground supper club in North Hollywood. I, like countless others, kept procrastinating until it was too late. I, like countless others, now must lunch downtown in order to experience the culinary magic.
Walking through the doors of the new Starry Kitchen late [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hodad&#8217;s - San Diego (Ocean Beach)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I always feel like a fraud whenever I tell someone that I&#8217;m from San Diego. There&#8217;s a certain beach bum culture that pervades the city (and its stereotypes) that I&#8217;ve never taken part in. Sure, I rock the Roxy on occasion, but I&#8217;ve never lived by the ocean, owned a surfboard, or worshiped the sun. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: 8-Course Dessert Tasting at Providence in Los Angeles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By nature and nurture, I&#8217;m not a very excessive person. My television is cable-less, I drive a Camry, and my idea of a good time involves dinner and conversation, rather than booze and booty. Okay, maybe a little booty. [Wink, wink.]  However, I have my weaknesses. When it comes to sweets, I throw restraint out the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Orange Angel Food Cupcakes with Whipped Cream Frosting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Astronomer recently made a lovely batch of lemon bars that resulted in seven egg whites chilling in the fridge. In the past, I&#8217;ve whipped up Pavlovas, coconut macaroons, and meringue cookies to avoid wasting perfectly good whites. This time around, I wanted something different&#8212;something substantial and with a bit more oomph.
&#8220;Does anyone have  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mariscos Chente - Los Angeles (Mar Vista)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether it&#8217;s kept in a well-worn Moleskine notebook, a meticulous Excel spreadsheet, or simply in one&#8217;s mind, every serious eater has a &#8220;To Eat&#8221; list. Mine is currently 47 items long and resides in the drafts folder of my email inbox. Every time I come across a noodle house or a bakery that piques my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dim Sum Truck - Los Angeles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fellow street food lovers: Meet the Dim Sum Truck. It&#8217;s the newest (and steamiest) meals-on-wheels venture to grace our fair city. The truck&#8217;s official debut is still a few days away, but The Astronomer I were fortunate enough to attend a sneak peek at the T-Lofts in West Los Angeles this weekend. I have a [...]]]></description>
