Si Mami!

Whew, Mother's Day is over, and the rush for goodies and presents can die down until, well, whenever that paternal holiday is. Let's take a look at what the week after had to offer. . . .

Edwin reviewed the South County chain Inka Mama's. Then he told us that Layer Cake Bakery is opening a second location in Fullerton and that Burger King is introducing its own version of the McRib--because what America really needs is more fast-food rib sandwiches. And he shared his short and pithy experience of waiting in line for 45 minutes at Cream Pan on Mother's Day.

Stick a Fork In It...har har har.

Well howdy-do, and welcome to another week in food.

This time around, Edwin reviewed Black Trumpet Bistro in Huntington Beach, and then he gave us the restaurant roll call for April. He announced the opening of Tootsie - a cute ice cream shop in Santa Ana. And last, he told us that MTV will soon have its own food reality show. Stop MTV, just stop it. Food Network and the Cooking Channel have this covered, we don't need drunk bitches and cat fights in our food too.

Urban Seoul's magnificence

Hey, it's May! Let's take a look at what this week in food brought us...

Edwin reviewed Urban Seoul in Irvine and feasted upon their post-modern bibimbap. Then he shared the closing of Endless Food and Fun in Huntington...and I will keep all ironic comments about it to myself. Then he posted a photo of the women whose name was "Vagina" according to one Starbucks barista. And last, he told us about how some people stuck serving time are now reviewing their prison on Yelp! Awkward...

Hue Oi

We've had some colorful stories these past couple of weeks because of Michelle's return. Who knew a new baby mama was so good at writing about food!? Let's take a quick look at what else happened this week...

Edwin reviewed Hue Oi in Fountain Valley for his weekly story. They he announced the opening of a new restaurant in Dana Point called Tavern on the Coast. He also shared a silly food video in which a man cuts up an entire watermelon in 21 seconds. Oh, the things people do with their free time.

Sweet sourdough at Crave

We were so happy to welcome back a food writer this week - Michelle Woo! Let's take a look at what she and other writers had to say...

Edwin reviewed Crave Restaurant and Café in Santa Ana and mused over their delicious sandwiches. Then he shared a particularly strange story where an off-duty cop pulled his gun on a McDonald's worker because his order was taking too long. WTF?! And last, he told us about a man in the U.K. that gave his resignation letter on a cake - in order to start a cake business.

Get in my belly!

Yaaaay! It's Friday! Let's take a look at this week in food before the weekend begins...

Edwin reviewed Pocket Burger Shack in Sunset Beach, and then he named the Crazy Rock at TruSushi the drink of the week. He also gave us a list of the 10 best pork dishes in Orange County. Get on it!

Gustavo went to Taco Nazo in La Habra for Hole in the Wall, and then he told us to immediately try the beans, rice, and fried cheese dish at El Fortin. Last he brought us another interview from Chef Geeta Bansal where she spoke with Jean-Luc Rabanel - the gypsy king of cuisine in Provence.More »

YUM...YUM!!!!

It's that time again and I bet you missed me, didn't you? Let's take a look at what happened this week in food...

Edwin reviewed the highly, highly, anticipated Linx in the Orange Circle and it was amazing as you might have guessed. That would have been a real bummer if it wasn't after all the waiting. Then he explored one of their interesting menu items - breakfast corn dogs! Nom nom. Next he told us to try the salted, scrambled egg and melon dish at Tasty Noodle House. Sounds pretty weird, but I trust his judgement. And last he presented the restaurant roll call for March.

Michael's Pizzeria

Happy Friday ladies and gents, let's take a look at what this week in food brought us...

Edwin reviewed Michael's Pizzeria in Long Beach where you can watch your pizzas being made in a bright and modern setting. Then he switched to strictly silly topics, telling us about Sriracha flavored chocolate bunnies for Easter and bacon condoms for any occasion! Last, he gave us a visual of what 2,000 calories actually looks like at your favorite fast food establishments. More »

Four Sea's breakfast

Greetings, ladies and germs. It's that time again for your condensed food update, because you probably forgot about all of the awesome Stick a Fork In It blogs that you read earlier this week, right? Let me refresh your memory...

First off, Edwin went to Four Sea, a Chinese restaurant in Irvine that serves a nice breakfast practically before the sun comes up. Then he showed us something you probably never thought you needed - an Oreo shotgun. Eat cookies, not war. He announced the opening of a smokehouse BBQ in Downtown Fullerton, and he told us a little bit about Anthony Bourdain's new show - Parts Unknown. Maybe he'll start getting really drunk again on this one. More »

Wine Vending Machine!

It's Friday ladies and gents, but before you go out and drink yourself to oblivion or find something more productive to do, let's take a look at this week in food.

Edwin went to Two 40 South in Brea and experienced a wine fountain! I don't mean an actual fountain, which would really be in poor taste. Two 40 South serves up wine the way you get soda from a soda fountain or frozen yogurt from a self-serve machine. Welcome to the future. Servers? What servers? Then he revealed that DX Peruvian in Santa Ana has closed and will be superseded by Inka Mama's. Last, he wrote about McDonald's latest menu addendum - an egg-white only McMuffin. Oh, sound the horns, because truly, the yolk was the only thing keeping me. More »
