Ortega 120 is kicking off a Day of the Dead celebration with a five day long event that is set to take guests right back to old Mexico.

Rock & Brews in Downtown El Segundo is like no other restaurant in the South Bay. It’s a crazy combination of a beer garden, a juke joint, and a California café serving cutting edge comfort food and award winning beers. Oh, and I mean crazy in a good way.

Flash Mobs, pumpkin races, and plenty of candy are gonna make this a Halloween Weekend to be remembered!  Wondering what’s going on around town?  Check out this list of events going on right here in the South Bay!

In September, Fleming’s announceed the “Flemings 100″ – 100 award-winning wines available by the glass – during special wine tasting events at each Fleming’s location.  The South Bay Foodies were on hand to sample some vino and check out the new small plates on the dinner menu too.

The Strand House is located just steps from the Manhattan Beach Pier and the ocean front sidewalk for which it is named. Folks familiar with the location may think back to the days when the popular Beaches restaurant occupied the same address. Well, Beaches may be gone but the “life’s a beach” vibe and spectacular sunset views remain, updated with a heavy dose of elegance and bourgeoisie.

October is a great month for Southern California foodies. From LA to OC, every week has an event dedicated to food, wine, or beer. And then to top it off, the month ends with everyone high on sugar and decked out in costumes for Halloween. Yes, life is good.

You’re not in Kansas anymore! For patrons of American Farmhouse Tavern & Dining Hall, that’s a good thing. They’ve taken Santa Maria style barbecue and paired it with stylish farmhouse décor for an experience that’s rustic and elegant at the same time. Spoiler alert: The food is good too.

Yes, it’s that time of year again: dineLA Restaurant Week. We’ve got the only map for all restaurants participating and a quick run down of who’s cookin’ in the South Bay.

To spare you from having to try every single thing on the menu at the fair, I visited to sample some of the foods that will be served over the next few weeks. For this Fair season, you’ll find food trucks, fried Kool Aid, and plenty of other things that are finger licking good. BYO Wet naps!

In this episode of Food Truck Friday, we compare sandwiches from two of my favorite banh mi trucks to see which one comes out on top. May the best sandwich win!

Spread out over four days and all over Los Angeles, there’s no way attendees can get to every single happening that makes up this belt busting event. But who says you shouldn’t try!?
