What's old is new again. Normally, we'd have nothing whatsoever to back up a ridiculous saying like that.

Farming is tough work. Cooking, too, for that matter. What we're trying to say is: let somebody else do it. Because it's just about tip-off time at Farmhouse, an extremely farm-driven restaurant driven by an actual farmer, opening tomorrow at the still-renovating Beverly Center. You won't have to search your way through whatever they're doing to the mall

It's a magical little world where
It's that time of year when birds sing and flowers bloom and you start finding yourself looking for a great place to go after the Dodger game that will make everybody happy.

You may have noticed. Everyone's getting high in L.A. these days. Yep, this whole mania for partying outdoors, high on rooftops, shows no signs of abating. Look up for evidence at Élephante Beach House, a sky-high restaurant and lounge opening Monday in Santa Monica from Eveleigh/Little Ruby/Goldie's owner, Nick Mathers. If you live, work or play by the
We can't refuse to acknowledge a single non-reason why Steve Samson wouldn't not open a new Downtown pizza place. Sort of a quadruple negative. Obviously we mean that Superfine is Steve Samson's now-soft-open new pizza place in Downtown. We've always believed that and you will too, because here's a whole slideshow of proof. Think of it as a mid-July gift
There's a highly anticipated new crack house opening in Century City this week. (Rifles through large stack of notes.) Sorry. We totally blew that intro. We meant to say that the Crack Shack is opening in Century City this week. That's Richard Blais's popular fried chicken and beer restaurant from San Diego. It opens Saturday and looks like this.
