Gave the Good Life on Kingston Street a shot, with its new look, owner, and menu. It’s certainly a nice redo, much cleaner, lighter, and more modern-looking — a big improvement from the rather dingy and rundown... (1 reply, last updated by Shefood April 25, 2006)

Well since I brought up the "life altering" category ..., let me see if I can chime in. I don’t know about driving an 1 hour +, but there are definitely certain foods I would go out of my way for. So, living in the SGV, here... (14 replies, last updated by cyberroo May 29, 2007)

appreciation for how hard they work. Still, if the food wasn’t good, I’d be somewhere else right now. It’s all about the food; that’s the bottom line. I don’t intend to let a spoonful of ants deprive... (11 replies, last updated by Matt Pasewark September 6, 2001)

The wife and I will be relocating to Laveen soon. I like local food and ethnic markets, but at first glance it appears that we’ll be making a drive for dinner. I haven’t had much time to explore the neighborhood, so I... (18 replies, last updated by yamalam October 16, 2007)

. All of this of course has precious little to do with the actual food being prepared. I admit that all I really need to cook well is a single Chinese cleaver and a well-seasoned cast iron pan. I certainly don’t need most of... (38 replies, last updated by rerem July 12, 2008)
