Dish I was compelled to copy at home (and did so rather successfully)
Farrell’s balsamic pizza… because what isn’t made better with balsamic?
Bite that could have landed me in jail
She didn’t know it but after sampling my friend Christabel’s salmon hash at Portland’s Mother’s Bistro & Bar, she almost got shanked and jacked. Luckily, I had a wonderful french toast to distract me.
Best stoner dish in Long Beach
If The Attic ever adds a late night happy hour, they’ll likely quadruple the number of orders of Mac N Cheetos pumped out each week.
Potable I’d serve as the signature cocktail if I could afford a fancy party
Bo-Beau’s Stormy Bastille is mostly citrusy sour but goes down sweet.
Dessert that makes me believe muumuus are fashionable

Spot I’d like to be chauffeured to by Morgan Freeman
