On Monday, March 8, ABC aired the wedding of Jason and Molly, the couple from season 13 of “The Bachelor”.

On Thursday, February 4, I was invited to dine with several other food bloggers at Cafe Pierre in Manhattan Beach.

Once again, here’s a way to help raise funds for Haitian relief by doing what you’re going to do anyway!  Its as easy as eating a cheeseburger.

Sharkeez is a well-known Southbay establishment that attracts the fiercest partiers in the beach cities and greater LA area.

I’m so glad to see so many restaurants and businesses making it easy for us to contribute to the Haitian relief effort by doing what we already do: eat and drink!  Ortega 120 is doing just that and more with great options this weekend.

The happy hour ship is docking, so hurry over to the Bluewater Grill, and explore a sea of affordable delights!

In a recent email to its customers, Brix Restaurant of Hermosa Beach announced a quick exit from the business with plans to party until the last minute.
