I had the morning off today, so after dropping off my little one at school, I drove up La Cienega to discover another new place (for me) in the restaurant dense part of West Hollywood. I drove up to Joan's, which has gotten...

My vote for the best cupcake in LA (not that I have done much of a survey) would also be the ones at Clementine. I have had both Joan's and Clementine’s cupcakes. Joan's cupcakes pale in comparison. They aren’t...

Picky, picky, I know. But when I click on My Chow in Chow.com (but not in Chowhound.com) my name comes up JOANN. Perhaps no one else will see it, but it looks odd to me. Can it be reformatted to use c&lc rather than all caps?

After L.A. Magazine gave Joan's on Third recognition for “best cupcakes,” I'd been eager to try. I went on Saturday and got the vanilla cupcake, chocolate/peanut butter cupcake, almond linzer cake and apple cinnamon...

Sasha’s query on high end sandwiches had me craving a yummy high end sandwich this weekend. I really wanted to try Julienne’s, but they’re closed on Sundays so I went to Joan's on Third. Joan's is such a cute...

Thank you again for all the wonderful ideas I get on this board. My family went to Joans for lunch today, and it was utterly wonderful. I had a trio salad with szechuan green beans, tuna and egg salad. My daughter had her beloved...

I tried Joan Nathan’s recipe for nockerln (egg drop dumplings) for soup and it didn’t quite work. If anyone has some thoughts, detailed post is on Home Cooking under "Help With Dumplings." Thanks.

I was walking down 3rd St and feeling hungry, so I stopped in at Joan's on Third to grab some chow. I picked up a package of Italian cookies that were right inside the door, specifically “Galletti con Granelli di...

We happen to be near Joan's on Third last Saturday. I purchased several items reviewed below: *Tuna Salad Sandwich w/Mustard Caper Sauce Fabulous—probably the best tuna sandwich I have had! *Butternut Squash Soup:...

Well, I looked and it’s true. Definitely something for us Villagers to check out. Link: http://www.hammer.ucla.edu/etc/JoansMenu_new.pdf

"? I realize it’s inconsistent with the typography in other heads, but I can’t be the only person affected, can I? I've been JoanN for years and years. Would hate to have to change it. Thanks.

Both Joan and Gary have mentioned buying some pomegrante molasses at Andy’s Fruit Ranch on Kedzie. While I could not locate some at Andy’s I found some at Garden Fresh in Mundelein. The bottle went on the shelf in the...

The “bad bakery” thread about Joan's on Third made me curious. I finally stopped in and the bakery items did look delicious. But so far I've only experimented with the cheeses, as they have a point reyes bleu cheese...

as good. If they nix those, and promote the place, I bet they’ll survive. Let’s save this place, and in the process, save ourselves from the chain proliferation – quiznos, subway, sandbags don’t hold a...

And then this is an Italian Plum Tart recipe Joan Nathan posted last week in response to a request (in the NYT’s Diner’s Journal): #5 Jennie Dear Jennie, I always make the same desserts at Rosh Hashonah: something with...
