Moving to Los Angeles has sparked my interest in one new food: Sushi! I heard about the Asian fusion menu at Tengu, and it seemed like the perfect spot for Japanese. Plus, it’s named after the Japanese god of “mischief”, so I HAD to go. When haunting the streets near UCLA, Tengu in Westwood is a great place to go if you’re looking for a chic spot with good food. Check out the full experience after the jump…

The party is tonight!, Wednesday, March 21st from 7pm-10pm at Here Lounge in West Hollywood, CA. If you’re in town, you should be there. How can you get on the list you say? Just email your name and number of guests to bscottrsvp@gmail.com. Hopefully we’ll see each and every one of you there! I can’t wait!!!

Running the streets of Los Angeles, looking for food at 10:15. That’s how I stumbled upon Magnolia. A friend and I had just exited an evening engagement, and we found ourselves near Sunset and Vine. Lo and behold, the answer was right before us. It was a fairly decent experience. If you want the short rundown, see what happened after the jump..

The westside of Los Angeles boasts a well-known Korean BBQ restaurant that left a pretty good impression on me. It’s called Wharo, and according to various sources ‘wharo’ refers to the Korean charcoal pot that serves as a symbolic centerpiece where friends and family eat and spend time together. Today, the wharo must refer to the grill pit in the middle of each table where you can literally cook as you eat. Maybe you’re thinking that you can grill at home anyday, BUT can you do it without leaving your company at the table? Probably not. Check out the rest of this experience after the jump…

Today’s lunch is brought to you by Pizzeria Mozza–THE best gourmet pizza in Los Angeles. At least the best I’ve had. This place is so popular that a weekend lunch table requires a week’s advance notice. Want to eat dinner there? Make sure you book it a month ahead. No joke. Anything with such a demand has to be good!

The westbound corner of Melrose and Highland Avenue used to be the home of Alessi Ristorante & Bar. Now 641 N. Highland boasts the location of LA’s hottest spot in the area. Pizzeria Mozza is a powerhouse pizza joint backed by Nancy Silverman and Mario Batali. Nancy is the co-owner of Campanile and the owner/baker at La Brea Bakery. Mario is a Food Network personality, the author of several cookbooks and an operator of seven New York hotspots. Add to that two places in Los Angeles–Mozza being one of them. When a co-worker announced that he had successfully scored a coveted reservation for six at Mozza, the decision to go was instantaneous. We had a week and a half to look forward to it, and no matter how hard I tried to get concrete information on what to expect, it was a struggle. The place is so new that the restaurant’s website doesn’t even offer a menu or photos of the interior, so everything was hearsay shrouded in mystery. If you’re curious to hear the rest, check it out after the jump…

Friday nights are always prime for celebration, and a friend and I did just that this past weekend. We wanted something casual yet lively, chill yet sexy. A couple of ideas rolled off our tongues, but upon mentioning O-Bar in West Hollywood, the decision was made. This was my second time going there, and I can genuinely say that I love it to death! Find out more about the night after the jump…
