Ciao! Eataly comes to L.A

For those of you that haven't heard of a little piece of heaven on earth called "Eataly" in NYC- well I recommend you get to know it so that you can appreciate the good news I'm about to announce. The word on the street is that Eataly is coming to L.A!! Everything is still under negotiation but the location would be somewhere in West Hollywood.

Here is a little inside scoop for those of you that don't have a clue to what Eataly is:
Located in NYC's FlatIron District, Eataly is a 50,000 square foot Italian gourmet market. Each specific item such as pasta, salumi, fresh mozzarella, etc. has its own section within this market. If that isn't enough to knock your socks off- Eataly sells a vast selection of Italian products that no other market has access to. In the midst of all this excitement, I forgot to mention another wonderful thing about Eataly... There are restaurants inside too! They have specific restaurants devoted to pasta, pizza, fish, and even veggies. I wont even get started on the Wine and Dessert section- we would be here all day! It's like being in Italy without having to use up your miles- Perfetto!!

Arrivederci!!

HUGMUG

A couple months ago I posted a post regarding Famous Hot Chocolates. To my surprise, a friend of mine just gave me one of the famous HugMugs from Max Brenner. I just tested it out and LOVED IT!

Sushirrito: Two Thumbs Up

I finally got the chance to swing by "Sushirrito," the newest place in SF to eat your favorite sushi on the go. Even though I stood in line for around 30 mins,  I was motivated and curious to see what all the hype was about.

Their menu is pretty basic and suitable to everyones taste buds. The price on the other hand was a bit much in my opinion for the size of the burrito but the location was simple and to the point- you order, pay, and pick up.

I chose to order (and share with my food critic partner, my dad) the "Smokin' Chicken", the owners favorite, and "Crispy Ebi" ( I love shrimp tempura). My favorite was the "Smokin Chicken." The mixture of warm chichen with their special sauce just make the seaweed taste so delicious for some reason.

Sushirrito is def worth the experience and tastebud journey- make sure to put that on your next "To Visit" List!

Sushi Burrito

Every morning, right after I open my eyes, the first thing that I go straight for is for my iPhone. There, I usually check my email, facebook, twitter etc. Today, I was quite surprised when I opened my inbox. Thrillist (a great daily website that lets you know what's upcoming and new in a city near you), had an interesting daily post. Today in San Francisco, Sushirrito opened its doors to a new, innovative way of eating your favorite "California Roll." They have taken fast food sushi to a whole different level... Im so excited to try it!!

Table for two, Please!

Awhile back, I went to lunch with my mom at the "Market Bar" located in the Ferry Building in San Francisco, California. I had such an amazing Filet Mignon with white wine sauce and a side of Spinach (Sorry peeps but its not available on the menu anymore). I can assure you it was DUHLISH!!
P.S: Oh yeah, the fries... unforgettable!
