Food Blog: The Sushi Classics—Nobu Matsuhisa and Katsuya Uechi
By Trevor Felch  |  Food  |  November 19, 2009   

Sushi has certainly been giving tacos a run for their money this past decade for the definitive "dish" of Los Angeles, like deep dish pizza in Chicago and sourdough bread up in San Francisco. However, sushi actually has been an important of the Los Angeles culinary landscape since the 1980's ...

 
Food Blog: Visit to Oldenborg and Wednesday Food Section Links
By Trevor Felch  |  Food  |  November 18, 2009   

I had my first ever meal at Oldenborg today, the dining hall at Pomona only open for weekday lunches that is situated with different language tables for students to practice speaking the languages they're currently learning with professors and the language assistants studying abroad here in Claremont. The room is ...

 
Food Blog: Dress Codes and Props to Scripps for Dr. Bob's
By Trevor Felch  |  Food  |  November 17, 2009   

I just got back from the fantastic film "Coco Avant Chanel" starring the always delightful Audrey Tautou as the famed fashion house's designer. Seeing the constant stream of various fashions in the film got my foodie mind thinking about fashion... in the food world. What to wear at a restaurant ...

 
Food Blog: Jar—Certainly Not Just Another Restaurant
By Trevor Felch  |  Food  |  November 16, 2009   

For the week leading up to my recent visit to Suzanne Tracht's sleek modern chophouse Jar, I kept trying to figure out what in the world a jar has to do with a steakhouse? Do they cook their filets in a some new jar-like oven? Does Ms. Tracht love cherry ...

 
Food Blog: The Culinary Tour of the New Gold Line
By Trevor Felch  |  Food  |  November 15, 2009   

An excellent article in this past week's L.A. Times food section about the best culinary spots near each stop along the new Little Tokyo to East L.A. light rail gold line.

I've been to 3 of the East L.A. Mexican spots mentioned in the article. The green chile tamale and carnitas tacos ...

 
Food Blog: Pasadena's Diner Duo and Last Word on Late Night
By Trevor Felch  |  Food  |  November 13, 2009   
I love all meats with duck, goat, pork belly, rack of lamb, and elk being my favorites, but I do certainly love a good burger as well. Recently burgers have become one of the most hotly contested subjects in America's major food capitals. New Yorkers used to bicker over their ...
 
Food Blog: Is There Sooomebody Who Still Believes In A Date?
By Trevor Felch  |  Food  |  November 12, 2009   
Right now I have the extremely catchy song "Somebody to Love" by Robin Thicke and Leighton Meester stuck in my head as it plays every 20 minutes on KIIS FM here in L.A. (This song sounds nothing like the classic Jefferson Airplane 70's hit of the same name). The chorus ...

Food Blog: The Sushi Classics—Nobu Matsuhisa and Katsuya Uechi

By TSL Editors  |  Blog

Sushi has certainly been giving tacos a run for their money this past decade for the definitive "dish" of Los Angeles, like deep dish pizza in Chicago and sourdough bread up in San Francisco. However, sushi actually has been an important of the Los Angeles culinary landscape since the 1980's ... Nobu Matsuhisa was creating Peruvian-Japanese fusion sushi long before ...

Green Blog: Of Trays and Wolverines

By TSL Editors  |  Blog

In the past weeks, there has been a lot of debate on the 5C campuses about the consortium dining halls’ decision to go “trayless”. This change not only drew opinions from students on both sides in the form of published articles (Nick Hubbard PO ’11 in The Student Life and Sam Gordon PO ’11 in Claremont Progressive), but mainstream media ...

Food Blog: Fosselman's Ice Cream and My Plea To All Ice Cream Shops

By TSL Editors  |  Blog

I have now visited Fosselman's Ice Cream in Alhambra (the town between Pasadena and the 10 freeway) 3 times—once in the middle of the day when it was just children with their babysitters, seniors after bowling league, and...me, another time when the shop was mobbed on a hot summer evening, and another when the shop was a ghost town on ...

Food Blog: How Does A Critic Stay In Shape? And La Piccoletta Wrap Up

By TSL Editors  |  Blog

For those who haven't checked out today's TSL yet, this week's review is of the quaint and cute Claremont trattoria La Piccoletta. As much as I wanted to love it because of the tiny, warm ambiance and an equally warm, inviting staff, I just didn't really care much for any of the food other than the exquisite tiramisu. Pasta is one of those universal ...

Food Blog: Foundry on Melrose and the Ethical Question for Critics

By TSL Editors  |  Blog

So the secret restaurant near Hollywood I returned to a few nights ago was Eric Greenspan's Foundry on Melrose. The experience was night and day from my visit on a Tuesday night last January when there were 3 tables with people in the dining room, the food was off, and there were only 2 servers- the bus boy and the ...
