  Food of the World in Los Angeles: Tokushima, Japan

    Ramen is often thought of as a quick, cheep food eaten by college students on a budget. But in Japan, where Ramen originated, it’s a complex and delicious dish served in an almost infinite amount of styles. For a quick lunch I stopped into a Ramen Shop in Little Tokyo, near downtown LA. It’s…

  New Year’s Day Chili Recipe

  A warm bowl of chili is always a good thing on a cold day, and recently I made a batch that got good reviews, so I thought I’d share the recipe here on the ol’ blog. Secret ingredients are bacon fat for flavor and brown sugar to cut down on the tomato’s acidity. New Year’s…

  Breaking Bad Cookbook

  I was a big fan of the AMC show Breaking Bad which concluded this year. For those who don’t know, it was a show about the misadventures of an average middle aged guy as he descends into the seedy business of producing and distributing crystal meth.  The focus on the show was the characters, the…
