reviewed Mr. Cecil's California Ribs. January 09, 2011
Mr. Cecil's California Ribs
I just finished a take-out meal from Mr. Cecil's in Manhattan Beach. I do not believe in reviewing a restaurant based on take-out, but I have eaten in the restaurant too so feel qualified to render …

Izaka-Ya by Katsu-ya
When I first heard that this restaurant was opening in Manhattan Beach, I was a little confused. I assumed that it was a branch of Katsuya and I did not think the space would support that concept. …
reviewed Jay Robb Protein Powder. October 22, 2009
I am an unlikely candidate to be reviewing a protein powder. I am not a serious weightlifter or fitness addict and I am not into supplements. I don't  even take a multi-vitamin. I do exercise …

Kindle 2
I have been using the Kindle 2 for a couple of months now. I didn't plan on buying it; it was a birthday present. If asked prior to receiving it, I would have said that I didn't want one. Not …

The season got underway last night with an overtime game between Pittsburgh and Tennessee. It was a great start to a season that felt like it took forever to arrive. I suppose that it felt like the …
reviewed Slot Machines. September 03, 2009
Slot Machines
Some people really like to play the slots. When visiting a casino, I am always struck by the solitary gamblers sitting in front of these machines looking slightly mesmerized. I myself have never been …
reviewed Outgoing Voicemail Recordings. August 28, 2009
Phone
I just called a friend of mine. He did not pick up and I needed to get some info to him so I left a message. As I was waiting to leave the message I was stuck by the sheer terribleness of his Voicemail …

Tin Roof's logo
I ate at the Tin Roof Bistro last night and came away impressed. This is the second new restaurant in the area by the same family. The other, Simmzy's is always packed and is a great concept so I had …

Whenever I am in north county San Diego, I make it a point to stop into the Pizza Port. There are so many things I like about this place and I think it lives up to its motto "Tasty Gub and Grog."   …

I have been a customer of this bank for awhile now and it has exceeded my expectations. I feel like it is a throwback to what banking used to be. Things I enjoy:      Personal …

reviewed March Madness. July 15, 2009
March Madness
I recently read a review by another Lunch member who called the Tour de France the most compelling sport on TV and it got me thinking about what I consider to be the most compelling. Hands down it …
reviewed Wines 'Til Sold Out. July 09, 2009
If you are wondering what the current economy is doing to wine sales, one indicator is the rise of online wine liquidators. I just heard about Wines 'Til Sold Out and it is a great concept. They advertise …
reviewed Mamoun's Falafel Restaurant. July 06, 2009
In my opinion, a great falafel sandwich is one of those perfect foods. The sandwich I am describing contains falafel (ground fried chickpeas), lettuce, tomato, hot sauce and tahini sauce served in a warm …
reviewed Jon & Kate Plus 8. June 24, 2009
Jon, Kate, and all their Eight

reviewed See's Candy. June 09, 2009
See's Candy is awesome. I frequently buy it as a gift and when we have parties, I will buy some and display it for guests to eat at their leisure (similar to mixed nuts or wasabi peas)       …
reviewed David Carradine. June 08, 2009
David Carradine
The details surrounding David Carradine's death are confusing and sad and I do not wish to delve into them here. Nor can I offer a review of his body of work since I have not seen much of it. What I can …
reviewed Los Angeles Lakers. June 04, 2009
Los Angeles Lakers
The NBA Finals start tonight and I am cautiously optimistic. They have had quite a run through the playoffs, losing games when they should have won and there are several external issues that have added …
reviewed Bebe Mochachino. June 02, 2009
Bebe with her roomate
Bebe Mochachino is a true visionary of debauchery and self promotion. While I believe there have been other famous dolls constructed out of pantyhose, none of them can claim her success in promoting her …

reviewed Up. June 01, 2009
Up
I took my 4 year old daughter to see Up and we both thought it was awesome. She said it was the best movie she had ever seen which is crazy since it did not involve a princess.    A …
reviewed Merry Edwards Winery. May 29, 2009
Merry Edwards Winery
While I enjoy wine immensely (especially red), I do not feel accomplished enough as a taster to review particular wines. I would feel a little silly describing the bouquet and structure and using words …

Wahoo's is the best. Delicious, healthy, comfortable, clean, with a great staff...just some of the qualities that make Wahoo's a great place for lunch or dinner. They serve Mexican food, but with a heavy …

reviewed Chicken Burger in a Bowl at The Counter. May 18, 2009
I really enjoy the Burger in a Bowl at the Counter.  I select a chicken breast, corn and black bean salsa, hard boiled egg, pepperocinis, and olives with the ginger soy dressing. It is a tad expensive, …

reviewed The Bazaar by Jose Andres. May 08, 2009
The Bazaar by Jose Andres
The Bazaar by Jose Andres is unlike any restaurant I have ever encountered; a temple of molecular gastronomy. I found my dinner to be more of an experience than a meal. It was overwhelming and thought-provoking; …
reviewed The Cantina Breakfast Burrito. April 30, 2009
Often times nostalgia colors one's view of remembrances: the elementary school yard seems much smaller than I remembered, the movie I loved as a teenager sucked when I recently saw it again and the pizza …
reviewed Lance Armstrong. April 23, 2009
Lance Armstrong
Full Disclosure: I am not a cycling fan. I cannot imagine spending time in front of the TV watching a race. Nevertheless, I find Lance Armstrong to be inspiring and the drama that has created to be quite …

reviewed Soy Latte. February 26, 2009
Soy Latte Picture
When it comes to espresso based hot beverages...I think that Soy Lattes are the best. I do not drink soy milk on its own and I do not have an anti-dairy bias so I consider myself to be an objective latte …
reviewed The Associate. February 24, 2009
The Associate
If you have read the last few John Grisham fiction books, then you probably don't have to read this review. The Associate contains the typical Grisham elements: nefarious agents seeking to pervert the …
reviewed Yank Sing. February 13, 2009
Restaurant Interior
For those that have not been to a Dim Sum restaurant, it is a fun experience unlike traditional dining. Rather than taking your order off a menu, waiters wheel carts around the restaurant and stop by …
reviewed Zankou Chicken. February 13, 2009
Zankou Chicken
Zankou Chicken is a Los Angeles treasure. If you are a fan of rotisserie or roasted chicken I would highly recommend it. I have introduced this place to a number of people and no one has been disappointed. …
