On March 8, Caroline on Crack founder Caroline Pardilla weighs in on The Eveleigh in a review titled Liquid Brunch & Hangover Cures. She normally avoids the Sunset Strip like “babies and questionable rashes on people,” but decides “The Eveleigh is definitely a brunch spot worth trekking out to WeHo for on the weekend.”
On March 10, e*starLA founder Esther Tseng reports Breakfast at Snooze is a Savory and Sweet Treat in Denver, where she experiences a breakfast pot pie, pancake flight and upstream benny with salmon.

On March 10, Eater LA editor Kat Odell reports The Flatiron Truck Takes Fine Dining To The Streets. The man behind the truck is Timothy Mark Abell, who worked at The Hungry Cat, Joe’s and Water Grill.

H.C. of L.A. and O.C. Foodventures commented on a heated Twitter exchange between @midtownlunchla and @samkimsamkim in a post titled Have It My Way…, arguing both sides of the “food Nazi” debate, where either the customer is either always right or never right. Ultimately, H.C. is “not for catering to a picky eater’s every whim, but not universally denying all requests either.”
On March 11, Squid Ink staffer Elina Shatkin Burgers & Gnocchi at Osteria La Buca for the 29th report in her 30 Burgers in 30 Days series, touting a burger with “distinctly muscular quality” and praising the fried gnocchi with marinara dipping sauce.

On March 9, Street Gourmet LA founder Bill Esparza posted about his experiences at Cantina La Mascota, Mexico City in a story titled I Love You, Man.
