The Village | Studio City, CA
What happens when two foodies get together for dinner? Great food is the answer. And that was the case Saturday night when I had the pleasure of dining with the owner of The Triple Dipper , a site dedicated to dips. From her suggestion, the choices in front of me included The Village, Black Market Liquor Bar, which you can read my review here, (weekendfoodie.com/black-market-liquor-bar-studio-city-ca/), and the Laurel Tavern, which I had been to, but pretty loud to carry on a conversation.

Happy New Year to all! I am glad that everyone survived the most recent apocolypse and had a safe transition into the new year.
Last year, my friend and I decided that instead of presents, we would take each other out to dinner at the restaurants of our choosing. Apparently, due to the party demand and conflicting schedules, our dinner was moved into the new year, and what a way to start a new foodie year then by celebrating at Mastro’s Steak House in Beverly Hills.
For me, this is not a place I can frequent on a regular basis, with the $10+ glasses of wine, $40+ steaks, this is the type of place that I need to save for, but its well worth it. I had been to Beverly Hills several times and I must have passed this place every time, but once I found it, I wont forget it.

As the son of a Sicilian immigrant, I was excited to have a chance to go to the Taste of Italy event this year in downtown LA. Images of Italian flags, fare, and music flowed through my mind as I was getting ready to enter the Italian American Museum of LA. As I got to the entrance, the
line of people in a mix of casual, dressy, and the occasionally formal attire stretched before me. When I finally got up to the front of the line to pick up my tasting tickets, I knew that the slim ticket pack of six taste, (three premier tastes or “Q cards” and three regular tastes), and four drink cards would not be enough to satisfy my desires to the try the food of the many booths that lined the inside and outside of the museum.

About The Foodie
I am a professional photographer in the Los angeles area that loves food. And what better way to get my fix and combine my interests than to take pictures of my food. Weekend Foodie was born from the notion that I couldn’t be a full time food critic, so when I get a chance to grab a good meal and some great company, I grab a camera and head on out. I have always found that the best recommendations for food comes from friends, and I try to write my stories like I am talking to my friends because ultimately, I would like my readers to have a just as great of a food experience that I would be having.
It’s not just about food, wine, etc, its about the experience that you have with family, friends old and new, and or even on your own.
