The urge was too strong to ignore and she needed it fulfilled quick. Of course, he obliged.

It was time.

He pulled the car over to park in the quasi- full parking lot. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, she was going to get what she wanted, what she needed.

Vitello’s Express is the perfect place for those that are strapped on time/ or cash and want a decent Italian meal, al fresco of course.

Tucked away on the busy street of Ventura Blvd., Vitello’s can’t be missed.

Vitello’s also has pizzettes, a thin crust Italian pizza, that can be either an appetizer or an entree.

Of course we had the pizzette as an extra cheesy thin crusted crouton for our salad.

Sausage and penne pasta.

Is that a sausage on your plate, or are you just happy to see me?

I am happy to see a sausage on my plate.

Just in case you were wondering, I had to save this picture under “Random”.

Swishing the night away saying, “Gimme Gimme More, Gimme More. Gimme Gimme”.

Kami Shabu is hidden on the second floor of the (former) Cosmos Plaza in the heart of Koreatown. Park on the street if you want to avoid paying the valet a few dollars.

Kami Shabu serves shabu shabu with a Korean flair, more flavorful than it’s Japanese counterpart. Each person gets his or her own pot, which is great because Kami has many options to chose from. Kami Shabu has quite a few stews for under $8, the infamous budae jigae (canned meat spicy army style stew), dumplings, seafood options, spicy beef stew, and spicy seafood stew.

So the meat and seafood shabu shabu menu has a whole bunch of prices that can seem daunting for those that cannot read Korean. But here it goes:

Beef & Seafood shabu shabu (Lunch price w/ regular vegetables): Med $10.99 and Large $12.99

Beef & Seafood shabu shabu (Dinner price w/ regular vegetables): Med $12.99 and Large $14.99

Beef & Seafood shabu shabu (Lunch price w/ mushroom medley): Med $12.99 and Large $14.99

Beef & Seafood shabu shabu (Dinner price w/ mushroom medley): Med $14.99 and Large $16.99

*The shabu shabu doesn’t come with banchans.

* However, the stews come with side dishes.

For the optimal variety of food at the cheapest price I would suggest ordering a large shabu shabu and a stew.

Kami shabu is the place for cheap shabu shabu.

This quaint little addition to Silver Lake is a very low key tapas style restaurant and bar. Barbrix is perfect for a casual first date and casual outings with friends. Barbrix is in a renovated home which is tucked towards the back of an obscure parking lot.

In other words, it was darned hard to find. We had passed Barbrix 3 times before finding it.

Finding Barbrix was almost as hard as the coconuts that fell on Gilligan’s head. Ginger and Mary Anne proved to be distracting, even the Professor couldn’t find away to get off the island.

Image via gilligansisle.com

But really Barbrix is on the same side (and across the street from that ”boat“), Barbrix is north of Tracey.

No really it is. Just pull into the teeny tiny obscure parking lot entrance and tada! You can now start your three hour dinner.

Glasses of wine range from $6-10 dollars and the cheapest bottle starts at $21. Not bad. Just don’t drink and steer your ship onto an iceberg.

Someone wise once told me that in order to fall in love, you must be able to risk everything including getting your heart burned. He once told me it is about jumping and leaping with presumably good faith with the person you will be trusting. Now, if that isn’t risky business to partake in, I don’t know what is.

Is it worth it? Risking everything on the line for a chance at love? I am sure most of you have heard “It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all”. I guess this fool had some rose colored glasses because I’ve also heard,

“It’s a thin line between love and hate”.

Breaking down of all of the years of wisdom bestowed upon me, I have conducted this bittersweet symphony, “It is better to risk everything in the hopes of falling in love but if it doesn’t work, you can look back and smile but still end up with a broken heart or some serious heart burn”.

After reading Sinosoul’s review (quick excerpt to follow),

How does previous night’s dinner make you late to work the next morning? When you must explode with something fancy in the toilet.

Doesn’t exactly fulfill my thoughts of the perfect romance. I can’t believe against all of my better judgment ESPECIALLY after hearing all those: spicy, steamy, fiery, and somewhat explosive details, I went in for a tryst at Jitlada.

I digress, I went to Jitlada because I was hoping to fall in love.

Image via Sinosoul

Deep Fried Shrimp with fried basil leaves. Very crispity crunchity and oh so remarkably savory with a hint of heady earth. This was one of my favorites.

Image via Sinosoul

Looking back on my experience with Jitlada, I should have read between the lines and noted all those red flags better. *Cough* Gold Standard where the Jitlada stand nearly burned my tonsils off. I could have prevented some major heart burn and other kinds of burn (which I won’t mention because frankly it involves splashing milk on my bunghole to control the BURN).

Did you know milk helps coat the stomach to prevent irritation?

Image via WeezerMonkey

Thai Iced Tea also help aid the burn. I needed a lot of Thai iced tea after the spicy raw blue crab salad.

Image via WeezerMonkey

Fried chicken with tumeric. Yes, Jitlada you gave me heartburn, but I can still remember your taste on my lips.

 Dining buddies for the evening.

I enjoy the rotisserie chicken and garlic potatoes by Grill Masters. Just smack me with a clove of garlic, and I will love you for a long time. Better yet cut the top of the bulb, drizzle some olive oil over it, and let it roast. I honestly have no idea why garlic gets me so giddy.

At first, I couldn’t believe how moist and juicy my chicken was.

When my chicken gets this wet. I like to mop up the juices up with this.

If you don’t feel like rotisserie chicken, there is also this BBQ stand that has tasty mac and cheese.

Tons to chose from: kebabs, empanadas, roasted corn, soups, and more. Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses when you see the flower vendor.

If you are in the market for reasonably priced jewelry. I will also be at the Sherman Oaks Farmer’s Market this Tuesday, May 12th to showcase my jewelry with I Heart Kayden.

There is no crap here.

The kitchen is somewhat somber and serious. Yet it is open and visible to almost every seat of the intimate restaurant. The numerous stations within the kitchen boastfully display; an army of methodical perfectionists that seem to express themselves not through emotions but through the bravado of flavors of each plate. The counter that serves as a moat keeps the regular people patrons at bay, and only seats about 20. The other seats in the establishment are geared for larger parties. But no worries, grab a seat at the counter and enjoy the show.

L’Atelier amused my mouth with a lovely foie gras with a port wine reduction and parmesan foam. The decadent, flavorful, and savory amuse bouche rolled off my tongue like butter.

We then moved onto a surprisingly refreshing buffalo mozzarella with vegetables. Basil, zucchini, sweet sundried tomatoes with spears of basil pesto.

Our next course was quail stuffed with foie gras and truffled mashed potatoes. (This was an additional dish not included in the $75 winter tasting menu).

Deep fried langoustine with basil. The paper wrapper was fairly thin and crispy so if I were you (instead of a fork and knife) I would opt to pick it up by the toothpick and stick it in your mouth pronto.

Hanger steak with onions. Be aware that L’Atelier cooks their meat the exactly the way you ask for it. My steak was a bit too rare for me.

Did someone say cheese? Fromage!

Because I scream for ice cream, the sorbet and ice cream selection.

Variety of tarts and cheesecakes.

The highlights of my meal: foie gras parfait, mozarella and vegetables, quail and foie gras, langoustine, and tarts.

The executive chef, Steve Benjamin, reminded me of the Queen of Hearts. Luckily L’Atelier has 4 AAA Diamonds and a Michelin star to back it up. L’Atelier your body is a wonderland.

Recipe & Picture by TheNoshery.com

Boa’s steakhouse really tickled my fancy.

Their appetite stimulus menu (three course dinner) was $40 valid Sun- Thurs. I must say their offerings were very fresh and tasty.

We opted for the homespun caesar salad. Below is a picture of our salad tosser.

The caesar dressing was fragrant and light. Beware, there is a lot of garlic infused into this dressing so if you are on a first date with a vampire, and it’s going well enough that you don’t want to kill him or her with your breath, think twice about this appetizer.

God i love garlic. I would bathe in it every night, but I don’t think that will help me find a man.

French onion soup was fabulous considering I don’t really like French onion soup. So really do I have to capitalize the “F” in French onion soup? The soup was not salty but had a sweet aftertaste. Could it be the sweet taste of caramelized onions? Nice.

Hunka Hunka burning (cooked medium) filet mignon. Yes, it did taste as good as it looks. Talk about beefy hunks. Hmm, that’s odd I ordered medium rare but it came out medium, but it was still delicious!

You can’t tell but when I was fork tapping my hunk (of beef) the weight of my fork actually made an indentation on the steak. The meat practically melted in my mouth and I could only describe it as feather light.

What? I told you the filet mignon was good!

Happy birthday Min!

Boa’s feather light filet mignon really hit the spot.

E.T., here’s a quarter, phone home cause I had this kind of connection this past Friday.

After many years, I happened to be at the right intersection (Wilshire and Vermont) and made a connection with a love that was once very familiar to me. After this one night encounter, I began to question myself as to, why had I stayed away for so long? Why stay away when it tastes and feels so right.

I am blushing as I type this but thinking about: the heat, the steam, and the spices that make the intoxicating and heady aroma of spicy tofu stew (aka soon tofu). I cannot help but feel a little flushed after my date with So Kong Dong’s tofu.

The soon tofu was placed in front of me, boiling hot complete with effervescent bubbles. My soup was still boiling, even after I cracked my egg into my stone pot.

Impressive. I can appreciate a hearty soup that gets my egg hard.

The banchans (side dishes) were plentiful making me think that So Kong Dong is the only soon tofu place that hasn’t been affected by the recession (they still have a variety of different types of banchans).

Roll call starting from far left to right: marinated bean sprouts, cucumber kimchi, spicy raw crab, water kimchi, kimchi and marinated fish cake. Crab was so good I wanted it to pinch me senseless.

I had a good time on Friday, maybe we could do it again? How is Sunday?

Definitely, for dinner on Sunday.

Including, everyone at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse by Zwiener. Really people, overkill on the Ed Hardy tattoos. Interestingly enough, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse clientele also looked like porn stars or wrestlers. The men were chiseled with very tight shirts. So tight that if I grabbed a bit of their shirts and let go the snap back of the cloth would leave a bruise. Did I mention the women? All the women had long flowy blond locks reminiscent of Posh’s pre- bob days. And all these porn star/ wrestler looking couples had children with them. Odd.

Lucite heels with rhinestones paired with Chanel. Blonde bleach job gone platinum. Juicy Couture purse charms and Ed Hardy. Christian Louboutin peep toes with crystal bangles up to the elbow. Generally speaking, I saw lots of bling and lots of blonde.

Continuing on to the food portion of the evening.

We started out meal with a caesar salad that was drenched with dressing. This should have been a precursor to what I should have expected. Lots of cream and sauces for the rest of the night. If you don’t want a creamy night ask for sauces and dressings on the side.

The filet mignon was decent (way better than what I had at Nick and Stef’s) but small. Ok, I take that back the steak was the size of my fist, which is coincidentally the amount of protein one should consume. But a fistful of meat just isn’t enough for me. I better get back on Weight Watchers so I too could look like Jenna.

However, the side dishes came in generous portions. We each got to chose one side dish that we were able to family style (share). Clockwise: hollandaise sauce, cream spinach, scalloped potatoes and mashed potatoes (not pictured).

The desserts were nothing to rave home about. I felt as if the desserts lacked a certain finesse, no measured resistance of any kind with the sifter or with spooning the whipped cream.

Ice cream sundae was also heavy on the cream and light on the ice cream. Honestly, overkill on the whipped cream.

All in all it was a pretty decent three course Dine LA meal.

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener- 445 North Canon Dr. Beverly Hills, CA. 310.385.0640

Anyhooz, I was lucky enough to make it out to Katana last week. Albeit I was about 20 minutes late and had to put on lip liner whilst driving. Luckily for me I know where my lips are, but I could have looked like a clown. Did I mention I got carded? Oh yeah!

Between dining at Sushi Roku or Katana, we opted for Katana. Katana is raw, rough, and sexy. The decor involves a lot of: metalwork, rough stones, candles, and dark corners. Rawr, Katana’s decor is raw, just like some of their dishes.

Katana also offers an appetite stimulus dinner for a pretty nominal fee (I want to say $28 for a three course). However, since my ADD prevents me from remembering the important things in life, please call Katana for more information. You can call me, but I charge $2.50 for the first minute and 99 cents per additional minute, (but don’t expect me pick up in a sexy voice).

We started the night off with Grey Goose Cranberry, and that is all for me. After all hand models don’t eat, can’t have fat knuckles.

Who am I kidding, I enjoyed the thinly sliced yellowtail with mild peppers, bell peppers, green onions and ponzu sauce.

The filet mignon wrapped asparagus and foie gras was quite lovely. The foie gras and filet mignon almost melted in my mouth; the asparagus didn’t melt in my mouth, so chew before you swallow. You don’t want to tip the waiter extra for performing the heimlich on you.

The Katana roll, is a spicy tuna and shrimp tempura roll with tuna and yellowtail on top of the roll, with a dot of spicy mayo and chives. This was actually quite large and in charge but it didn’t quench my taste for sushi.

BoogaWooga! Hahahahahaha. When the waitress brought this out all she looked so proud and I, well I looked freaked out. Look at it. Scariest looking fish I have ever seen, but absolutely tasty. The chilean sea bass that we ordered was enough for two dinner entrees, and can be shared family style (if you order more dishes).

The jalapenos provided a pretty potent kick to the fish and the fish was spicier than I had anticipated. There were numerous slices of jalapenos found amongst the recesses of the scored fish. The skin was intact and crispy and the meat was moist.

Another picture, since you can practically see the fish’s 2 o’clock shadow and because most people can’t help but stop and stare at accidents. Damn rubberneckers! Yeah, people at the restaurant were rubbernecking when they saw the waitress carry this out. The sea bass was a special for that night.

I heart a chocolate souffle finale. Blame it on my rubberneck and my damn wandering eyes, wandered right to our next door table and I had to have it. If I don’t fit into a size 4, I don’t have anyone to blame but this adorable heart shaped souffle. Maybe, just maybe after my knuckle waxing appointment, people won’t notice that I am no longer a size 4.
