The Lark is outstanding. It has it all going on. It’s located in the historic Santa Barbara Fish Market building. Situated in the heart of the Funk Zone, a vibrant arts district and home to local surf shops, galleries and the popular Urban Wine Trail. The atmosphere is phenomenal, service amazing and the food ridiculously good. […]

If you are looking for a nice little joint in The Valley, hit up Leo & Lily in Woodland Hills. One could easily drive by this place on Ventura Blvd and not give it a second though but that would be a mistake. The breakfasts look great and I loved my lunch. I had Leo’s Club […]

7 miles from The Strip tucked in a neighborhood by the railroad tracks is John Mull’s Meats. Funky, fantastic, awesome place with some of the best BBQ I have ever had. Now they are primarily a butcher shop but they are cooking up some amazing food at great prices. I had the Hot Links with […]

Since Hot Doug’s closed, it left a big hole in the hot dog world on Chicago’s North Side. People loved this place. And people in Chi-Town love their hotdogs. The good news is a couple of the cooks opened up Hot “G” Dog and it has all the great dogs the Hot Doug did. I personally like […]

I am told Charlotte has some good food and I started off right by going to 300 East in the Dilworth Neighborhood. It’s a breakfast, lunch and dinner spot. It’s super casual and super fresh. Really good. I had the Grilled Shrimp BLT Panini with Heritage Farms Bacon, Pepper Cheese, Arugula, Tomato Aioli on Sourdough. So good! […]

It’s vintage-chic, innovative with new American small plates, entrees & craft cocktails. The menu is designed to share as most items are tapas style. We had a lot. Below is […]

Asheville, NC is a food and microbrew mecca and being someone that loves a good burger, I am always on the hunt. Universal Joint is by far the best I have had here. I had the Steinbeck Burger. Pimiento cheese, bacon, jalapeños. Ridiculous. So good I went back a second time. They also have a rotating, […]

Sarasota, Florida is a beautiful city on the Gulf Coast, but it used to be boring when eat came to restaurants and bars. But over the last 10 years that has changed. One of my favorites is Social Eatery & Bar. Love this place. Excellent craft cocktails and locally-sourced Italian meals in a cool, casual setting […]

One of my favorite joints in Durango, Colorado is Zia Taqueria. It’s my go to in Durango. I go every time I am there. It’s short order, setup like a Chipolte, but it is local and super fresh and delicious. I really love this place! I had the Shrimp Ceviche Taco and Chicken Burrito.
