Honey's Kettle: Finding Religion in Fried Chicken
Zankou has some competition on my list of addictions for the best crack chicken in L.A. ever: Honey’s Kettle. I’ve wanted to try this ever since I read all the online reviews claiming that Honey’s must put crack in their batter because their fried chicken and their biscuits keep you coming back for more. But…

When me, Steph and some other Yelpers went, we were all a little tipsy from the happy hour at the Well beforehand but still sober enough to find…
Trader Joe's Must-Get Item: Mini Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
“Mini in size, mighty in flavor.” Trader Joe’s deserves its own regular post. ‘Nuff said. Mini Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ($2.99) was strictly an impulse buy as it wickedly sat on the display case with the other impulse goodies by the cash register but its evil peanut-buttery goodness appealed to my insatiable sweet tooth. Of course at first…
Dawn of the Dead Cemetery Screening
What a great way to kick off the Halloween season: watching horror classic Dawn of the Dead in a cemetery. Prepare to get sufficiently creeped out as Cinespia will be screening George Romero’s ghoultastic movie in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery for its last screening of the season (awwww!). I’ve always wanted them to show Night…
