You know, I play a bunch of instruments and sing harmony. And I do Restaurant Reviews as a Healthy Chef. Yet, I have never reviewed a band or an event at a music venue. My evening last night was so good, that I must blog about it. So enjoy this Review: Pine Mountain Logs at … Read more
It’s the start of a new year, and people who are not happy with their weight are desperate. I thought it might help if I do a quick Review of Quick Fixes for Weight Loss. I have seen friends go through surgery (and later gain every pound back and then some) and someone actually tell me … Read more
To wrap this year, Sterling Rice Group talked about the 2015 Culinary Trends they expected for this past year and I just wanted to share with you, how I measured up. After 4 years of Tofurkey on Thansgiving, practicing Vegan Meals on Meatless Monday and eating with my Vegan daughter and soon to be son-in-law, I … Read more
It seems that I have been hitting a string of exceptional Fusion and Sushi places lately. Last review was Roy’s in La Jolla. Incredibly good. Worth the money spent.

Studio Diner…. It’s a lovely place, with incredibly GOOD diner food (ikr)? And before I review them, I should just mention they are participating in Burger Week. At the end of this blog, I’ll give you the full list of restaurants (even vegetarian restaurants doing not meat burgers)… but for the moment? Let’s talk about … Read more
