Ray’s and Stark Bar: He Said, She Said Cocktail Review
Michel Dozois of Neve Ice, who used to work behind the stick at Comme Ca and Church & State, had previously said that he wasn’t about stepping on another mixologist’s toes when visiting L.A. bars to try and sell his gourmet ice. He didn’t want to make cocktails but rather, he wanted to focus on…
Giveaway: Moveable Feast at the Hollywood Roosevelt
Back in January, Chef Meg Hall (aka “Made by Meg“) brought her traveling supper club, the Moveable Feast, to East Hollywood hot spot La Descarga where guests were also able to enjoy the cocktails of mixologists Steve Livigni and Pablo Moix.

Valentine's Day on a Budget (aka Ideas for My Boyfriend)
Valentine’s Day sucks. Everything is suddenly pink and red. Singles are scrambling for something to do so they don’t feel pathetic and couples are overcompensating with expensive dinners, cheesy greeting cards and marriage proposals. Not to say that I don’t like celebrating it. But my boyfriend definitely doesn’t want anything to do with it. However,…
