Having just ended the L.A. County Fair, we’re no strangers to food novelties–things like the Krispy Kreme double cheeseburger or the bacon-flavored cotton candy. Still, we had to blink twice when we read on LAist that Umami Burger is hopping on the fusion-food train with the debut of their doughnut ice cream sandwiches. So far…
Oktoberfest is all about the beer. But you knew that. What you might not know is that we are bringing the beer drinking experience to a whole new level at this year’s event. In addition to our enormous steins of beer we will also have the iPourIt Craft Beer Experience available at Oktoberfest. If you…
The week following the L.A. County Fair always trips me out. During September a walk to the farm means encountering thousands of Fair guests and smelling deep-fried temptations at every corner.

I would like to start this L.A. Weekender post by saying that we know — we haven’t been posting as frequently as we usually do. As we get closer to the Fair, our attention begins to focus on our Fair blog: hotblogonastick.com and preparing for all the fun and excitement that’s about to happen once…
Instagram and Vine, meet MixBit: Instagram and Vine have been “duking it out” for the title of Top Dog of social media video platforms. Both have pros and cons but it’s still too early to tell who exactly will come out on top. Now a new contender has been added to the fray: MixBit. And…
Photo courtesy of foto76 from FreeDigitalPhotos.net Happy Friday! Variety is the name of the game for this L.A. Weekender. If you wanted to have a little family time this weekend, these events are a perfect excuse to get the whole crew together for a little adventuring into Los Angeles: Nisei Week Japanese Festival: First held…
Photo from LA Basketball Week Goodbye, ESPN Zone: Sitting directly across from the Staples Center, the ESPN Zone at L.A. Live is closing down permanently. Taking the place of the ginormous playground dedicated to beer, sports and arcade games will be three new restaurants: Smashburger, Live Basil Pizza and Tom Urban 24. Live Basil Pizza…
