Local gumbo now has a new king of the hill. I went to the Gumbo Shack 1 block east of Inglewood’s city hall on La Brea and had their “signature” Mucho Gumbo to go. $13.95 netted me a hefty bowl full of meatty...

Anyone got a recipe for a chicken gumbo that doesn’t have seafood in it? DH is deathly allergic... and I’d love to make something he could enjoy too.

We checked out the Creole Chef (3715 Santa Rosalia St., near Stocker, behind the Baldwin Hills Shopping Center) this weekend. The gumbo was pretty good—excellent sausage, lots of fresh tasting seafood, broth a little bland...

I have a slight issue here to get off my chest. There are several different styles of ramen, and while places like Sapporo or Men Kui Tei serve a few different styles of soups, this isn’t the norm in ramen shops in Japan....

This sandwich shoppe tucked into the corner of another restuarant and what may be a small office building and catty corner from the border’s bookstore is quite unique. This joint is a Persian sandwich shop. And that’s...

I’m so jealous of this cassoulet dinner that I don’t know what to do with myself. I might cry. Have you found other good local sources for Toulouse, since you found the Fatted Calf’s dry (as have I, though, if we...

I’m from Portland, Oregon where the neighborhood coffee shop is a way of life. I’ve been living here for almost two years and I have not found a good coffee shop to hang out in, read, write, think, hide,stare and...

every couple of months because this type of authentic southern cuisine is hard to find in the city. The Oyster Po’boy is amazing as well as the gumbo! They give you johnny cakes before the meal which are like mini cornmeal...

It’s where I get my CB hash & eggs, plus sourdough toast, when that’s what I want. I have been known to get just eggs, toast and potatoes there plus some fried fish from Gumbo Pot (nice combo!). As sku says,...

, gumbo, shrimp salad, shrimp cakes – you name it. Very motivating. Thanks for the information. I’ll try that second shop you recommended soon.

Can anyone help me with the name of the Cafe/Flower/Plant Shop on La Brea and 6th?? I’ve driven by a number of times but never got the name. If anyone’s been I’d also like to hear how the chow is. Thanks in...

Doing a little Christmas shopping yesterday, my friend and I decided to try the new Oceans 33. Up until now, I’ve not found a restaurant in the Shops at Mission Viejo that I really liked, so when I heard that Oceans 33 was...
