Torrance

Earlier this month, I shared some of the beverage offerings on Lazy Dog’s new happy hour menu. Today we’re taking a look at the happy hour food!

Lazy Dog Café at is a popular stop for movie goers and mall rats looking for a place to refill and unwind while shopping Del Amo mall in Torrance. The South Bay Foodies stopped in recently to check out some of the new additions to their happy hour menu*. In this episode, we focus on the some of the classy new cocktails that had us saying “its a dog’s life for me!”.

If you’re looking for a holiday meal, this one could be the ticket. This Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Gyu Kaku Japanese BBQ is offering all you can eat (AYCE) specials including unlimited champagne and sake.

If you think you can get into King’s Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant without getting dessert, think again.

Recently, King’s Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant introduced a new menu: the Hawaiian Connection Menu. With so many cultures present in the Hawaiian population, this new menu reflects the new foods and flavors that are becoming staples in Hawaiian cuisine.

Lazy Dog Café wants you to bark for a cure! On Tuesday, October 18, all locations of the upscale-casual restaurant chain will be donating 15% of each bill to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

After 8 years of serving pizza, pasta, and awesome breadsticks to hungry South Bay citizens, Pat & Oscars is closing shop at their Del Amo Mall location.

Join me for a trip to the market!  In this article, I describe a recent visit to one of my favorite places for farm-fresh produce and so much more: the Torrance Farmers Market.

Its been a busy week at South Bay Foodies HQ.  That means we have the perfect excuse to party hard this weekend!

As is often the case in Southern California, there are plenty of events to choose from on this sunny, spring weekend.  Here are a few of the events we’re buzzing about.  Hopefully I’ll see you at one or all of them.  Sunday is going to be a busy day!

Hungry South Bay citizens hoping to get some “cheesy goodness” are expressing their discontent with the City of Torrance on Facebook.

DineLA’s Winter Restaurant Week starts on Sunday, January 23. In preparation for the event, we’re taking a look at the menus and deals at the participating restaurants around the South Bay.

Today we’re checking out the two entries for Torrance: The Melting Pot and El Torito Grill.

This morning I got up bright and early to run with a few turkeys in the Torrance Turkey Trot.  Check out this short video I made for all the details.

After years of driving past the unassuming store front on 190th Street in Torrance, I finally paid a visit to Country Touch Cafe in Torrance.  Here’s my review of breakfast at this little slice of the South in Los Angeles.

A South Bay and LA favorite, Big Mistas Barbecue recently made LA Weekly’s short list of essential dining around Los Angeles.  I caught Neil Strawder, also know as Big Mista himself, on the phone for his perspective on this honor.

This week on Food Truck Friday, we visit a few truck stops. The food truck trend keeps rolling along and thankfully, the options for South Bay residents are increasing.
