Getting over a nasty case of the flu (respiratory, thank you) and am feeling in need of serious health food. So I made a lentil stew with roasted tomatoes, onions, carrots, garlic and a couple of slices of bacon. Served over...

't remember Little Frankie’s or Supper ever doing that. I’m not bashing the place, because the food was very good, as always. It’s just annoying when restaurants do that.

Sure, give me a day or 2 to come up with the recipe...she died last year and it’s hand-written somewhere at her house. I can make from memory by eyeing it, but I just don’t want to leave out any crucial elements as...

The Weiner Factory, on Ventura, in Sherman Oaks, serves a very good “milder” Polish Dog. Lot’s of heat. Although I consider myself the equal of any hot/spicy food eater, their regular Polish dog brings tears of...
