SPANISH TURKEY!





My girlfriends and I love to have lunch at Artisan Cheese Gallery in Studio City. It's a quaint little wine and cheese shop that serves the best salads and sandwiches in town! Their Spanish Turkey sandwich was even listed as one of the best in LA in LA Magazine! I could easily eat this thing once a week. When we opt for something lighter, we usually stick to either the Aged Gouda Salad or their Olive and Feta Salad. Go here! You will not be let down. (And ask them for extra pickles! Mmmm..)

Food Truck




YAY! I finally got to eat from a food truck at the Downtown Art Walk!
I had already eaten before we got there so I opted for just a snack. Pastrami Cheese Fries! WHAT! I know. They were pretty damn good too :)

Movie Meal





We all know The Arclight is the best place in town to see a movie. Well right before (or after) you see a movie at The Arclight Hollywood you should check out BoHo. Owner Adolfo Suaya hired Chef Andre Guerrero to set a great menu full of items for anytime of day. Their Sunday brunch is especially fantastic. With ingredients from the local farmer's market, this guy know how to whip up a good meal! And yes, that is a Ricotta Pancake with lemon curd and blueberries. Umm, yes please!

A Popular Burger


I get a lot of my food recommendations from Los Angeles Magazine, including this one. For a spectacular burger check out The Hungry Cat in Hollywood. This place actually has quite a selection of sea food dishes, but they're most well known for this burger. It's smothered in bacon, egg, avocado and blue cheese all on an english muffin and accompanied by delicious seasoned fries! I'm not the biggest blue cheese fan, so next time I'll go without, but otherwise this was a great burger.

Sweet Satisfaction



FROZEN YOGURT! It really is the best thing ever...especially now that you can customize your serving to your exact liking. My go-to yogurt mixture is vanilla yogurt with cookie dough, mochi, circus animal cookies and cinnamon toast crunch. And sometimes I add a few little cheesecake bites, don't judge! My local fro-yo spot is Menchie's in Sherman Oaks (but they're all over the city). It's colorful fun decor just adds to the high you get from all the sugar. YUM!

Hollywood Korean BBQ




My favorite food in the world is Korean BBQ. I could eat my weight in kalbi beef (marinated short ribs) and kimchi. I usually get my Korean BBQ fix in Korea Town at any random little mini-mall restaurant, but sometimes I wanna be fancy! And that's when i go to Shin BBQ. This hip hollywood spot owned by Simon Shin has authentic homemade Korean BBQ that you can chose to either cook yourself or have the kitchen cook for you! Everything is fresh! NO MSG! Their kimchi fried rice is delicious, as well as their glass noodles, kalbi, and spicy pork. This is a place to seriously indulge!
