I have been mulling over how to end this series of blog posts for a long time now (a couple of months, actually). The bottom line is, there isn’t much in the way of authentic, Midwestern custard ’round these parts. Silky Smooth Ultra Creamery was the closest I got. So if you are in the [...]

I can feel the quest drawing to a close. So far, Los Angeles Foodie has visited:
Silky Smooth Ultra Creamery
Lucky Devils
BennieLoco
Fraiche
…and we’re pretty close to a winner. I have not yet visited Strickland’s in Irvine, but it’s on the list. Given that Strickland’s is based in Ohio, I have high hopes.
Los Angeles Foodie Tami visited Fraiche, [...]

7) The Original Farmer’s Market at Third Street and Fairfax.
This is one of those places where celebrity sightings are a “well-known secret.” I’m there at least once a week, and I see famous people there about half of the time. It’s not necessarily the kind of place where you would want to approach a celebrity [...]

Edward Scissorhands’ pet Chihuahua, Paco Burgerpaws

On today’s agenda: BinnieLoco. This custard stand is not really in Hollywood (as I previously stated). It’s in Koreatown near the intersection of 3rd Street and Vermont. I live near downtown Culver City, so the trip to BinnieLoco was kind of a haul. And was I ever dismayed to discover that it’s closed on Sundays [...]

I tried two places this week:

Lucky Devils
Silky Smooth

I was delighted to discover that one of the places in town that serves frozen custard is Lucky Devils. I’ve been meaning to get over there for a long time; their hamburgers have quite a reputation with many people calling their Kobe Burger the best in town. More [...]

On Friday, I was strolling through Westwood. I popped into Helen’s Cycles, which is a pretty awesome bicycle shop. I was wearing my Ted Drewe’s Frozen Custard t-shirt, and Chris, the guy who was helping me, asked about it. He’s from Milwaukee, and he lamented that living in Los Angeles doesn’t give one a whole [...]

This weekend is your last chance to indulge your everything-on-a-stick fantasies at the Orange County fair. My wife, my sister and I recently spent a full Saturday at the fair. It’s the first year that I have been organized enough to arrive shortly after the gates opened and stay until late into the night.There was [...]

I recently found out that Disneyland annual pass-holders are referred to as “Passholes,” by Disneyland cast members. I guess that makes me a grade-A Passhole. My wife and I visit the park frequently (15-20 times per year), so I’m often asked, “Why do you go so much?” and “Don’t you get sick of it?” The [...]

It’s probably obvious to many that www.la-foodie.com is a WordPress Blog, but I originally did not intend to use this site to ramble on about food, my thoughts, Los Angeles, whatever. It was supposed to be a restaurant review site, plain and simple. Well, that didn’t turn out so awesome. As it happens, writing reviews [...]
