I know I don't need to say much more than, you must eat here. This place is fabulous, a dinner favorite of mine. Their steaks come with the option of adding toppings and sauces: chimchurri, horseradish, bearnaise sauce, blue butter, peppercorn crusted, foie gras butter, lobster, shrimp, black truffles, crab and foie gras. Aside from the great menu, the decor of this place is awesome. STK is a great place for a group outing; the dining area is filled with booths made to seat 6 or more (I'm all about ambiance). We also saw Mario Lopez there! haha

Brunchtime!


There's not too much to say about this place other than Kokomo is also known as The Peach Pit on the new series 90210. It's a cute breakfast/lunch spot with a pretty interesting menu. They have something called a Red Eye: original buttermilk pancakes with a shot of espresso and chocolate chips. We didn't venture out of our comfort zone this trip, but we will next time! We just had a Blackened Catfish Sandwich and a Croissantwitch. They also have a new location in Silverlake I can't wait to check out.

CHEEEEEEESE!!!



Say Cheese is an adorable little cheese shop in Silverlake that has a superb sandwich menu. We stopped in for a quick lunch, ordered The Griffith Park - a turkey sandwich, and The Ortolano - a vegetarian sandwich with sundried tomato pesto. Any sandwich with sundried tomato anything..I'm all about it! They also gave us a free coffee! A+

Fancy Mexican Food







A new spot just opened up in LA called Red O, so of course I had to try it out. It's Mexican cuisine by celebrity chef Rick Bayless. We had a nice little double date with our friends Justin and Melissa...sat on the patio at caught up (If you want to sit inside, be sure to have reservations!). The food here was pretty good! We all liked our meals, some more than others :) The restaurant is beautiful though. A great place to go with friends, relax and talk.
And sorry, Mexican food doesn't photograph very well. :)
