Connie & Ted's - Santa Monica Blvd. WeHo

A friend of mine suggested this place  and now I feel like I am the last know. Its the perfect Seafood place that Los Angeles has been missing. Living so close to the Ocean it still boggles my mind why we dont have more restaurants just like this??!!. The sad thing is that we have a whole entire coast that creates sub-par seafood and this place is situated mostly in a residential neighborhood of West Hollywood. 
Ok back to the dynamic food...
I had ordered the oysters on the half shell, lets just say.... Amazing!  They were fresh, sweet and the fresh horseradish and migonette sauce they placed with it was perfect.
We also ordered a cup of the clam chowder which does not use a thickening agent. To my surprise it didn't need it. It was packed full of flavor and honestly I didn't miss it.
The fried calamari is also a great appetizer with two delicious dipping sauces, marinara and a something else that was yummy lol.
Last but not least.... you must order the Porgy Fish plain. It is a light, flaky and flavor fish that is made to perfection!

Oh yea oh yea!

Heirloom~ Gazpacho

Want a cold soup? Need to cool off in the summertime?  There are many recipes out there but Thomas Keller has the best one out there. I've put my own spin on it with a finish of creme fraiche instead of a balsamic glaze. However, its a Must!

R + D Kitchen- Dallas

De-ricious as us Asians would say.
As you all know I've been in Dallas for the few months and as a Foodie, I'm loving it.
The atmosphere is great for singles and the food is mmm mmm good.  I tried the deviled eggs, the chicken (as you know I never order chicken) and rainbow row ( so American) but the sushi was fresh and amazing. I'll be back.

Milk

Just went to Milk on Beverly Blvd. I dont know what to say but I have mixed feelings. The line is always out the door and around the corner. I ordered the pistachio ice cream sandwich and unfortunately all I tasted was sugar. I think I went into a sugar coma for a second. I also ordered a red velvet cupcake... dry and not enough cream cheese in the frosting.  Honestly I think its the location. I wasn't impressed and doubt I'll return :-( the
