This is it, my last meal in the USA. After spending a month going from San Francisco to Virginia, Washington DC and New York my last meal in Los Angeles was supposed to end with my best meal right?

Brunch at Campanile
Who hasn’t heard of Campanile? I’ve wanted to eat there for years and finally got the chance on my last day in Los Angeles last December 2011. Campanile is housed in an historic and dramatic structure built in 1929 by architect Roy Sheldon Price for Hollywood legend Charlie Chaplin. Mr Chaplin originally intended to useContinue reading “Brunch at Campanile”
Farmers Market & The Grove
After our spectacular dinner at Fig & Olive we went to the Farmers Market and The Grove to walk off all the calories we consumed. It was also my first time to see these two places next to each other. During the day the Farmers Market had tenants selling organic produce, meats, poultry and seafood.Continue reading “Farmers Market & The Grove”
Dinner at Fig & Olive
Whenever I travel I make it a point to research on which restaurants to try.

She knows all the best places to eat at in L.A.I’ve never heard ofContinue reading “Dinner at Fig & Olive”

Goodbye Virginia, hello Los Angeles!!! I arrived at night just in time for dinner and the start of a totally different dining experience. Welcome to land of stars and showbiz.

Dinner at Zaytinya
Washington DC has so many great restaurants maybe not as much as New York but it’s pretty close. The only reason I don’t get to eat in DC as much as I want to is I stay in Virginia with my cousin and it’s not as easy to go to DC at night without drivingContinue reading “Dinner at Zaytinya”
