St. Patrick's Day Cupcake Roundup
I found the perfect way to make it through St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow: go on a bakery hop! Fortunately a ton of L.A. bakeries have created Irish-inspired goodies for the holiday and I rounded them up in a post for LA Weekly‘s Squid Ink.

First & Hope Supper Club Debuts With a New Bar Night: Red Rover, Red Rover
OK, so First & Hope Supper Club didn’t open last night as planned and will instead open up toward the end of this month.

Blog Bite: Virgin Taverine at the Tavern
Bored and alone, I found myself having dinner at the bar in the Tavern in Brentwood.

Sure, there’s that nerdy-awesome Star Warz Burlesque show on Saturday and Morton’s Steakhouse’s even nerdier celebration of Pi Day on Sunday with $3.14 slices of key lime pie but if you were looking for non-nerd things to fill out your weekend (not that there’s anything wrong with being a nerd) I present to you the…
Tips on How To Send Back a Bad Meal at a Restaurant
You’re at a nice restaurant and discover that your entree is not up to snuff. Maybe it’s missing the goat cheese that was listed in its description on the menu, maybe it’s supposed to be a hot dish and it arrives cold. Do you a) complain to the server and ask the kitchen to remake…
