Jagermeister Spirited Dinner at Tales of the Cocktail

When you think of Jagermeister, does it bring you back to your college days? Or perhaps you secretly enjoy Jagermeister while on a ski trip in the cold of winter. Either way, you probably are embarrassed to admit that you enjoyed this licorice liqueur sometime in your past life. But, I am hear to tell you that you may want to rethink this. At Tales of the Cocktail this year, Jagermeister hosted a Spirited Dinner called Jägermeister’s Summer of Music Spirited Dinner at the Foundation Room at the New Orleans House of Blues. I was intrigued by the invitation. The dinner was limited to 56 guests, one for each of the 56 premium ingredients in Jägermeister’s secret recipe. Jagermeister is an amazing modifier in cocktails. Top bartenders Willy Shine, Sean Kenyon, Ivy Mix and Sean Hoard mixed up delicious cocktails using Jagermeister that paired perfectly with the dinner.

Got Kosher? There Is More To It Than The Name

Got Kosher? Located on Pico Blvd, near Robertson, the restaurant sounds like all of its neighbors, another kosher restaurant. But, what the name doesn't tell you is that Got Kosher? is serving up the wildly undiscovered Tunisian cuisine.....and it's really good!

Sun Cafe Organic Studio City

As I visit more and more vegan restaurants, I feel the need to declare that I am not a vegan.....not even close. But, I say this because despite my love for dairy and meat, I continue to enjoy the meals I am having at vegan restaurants. And, Sun Cafe in Studio City is no exception.

Sweet Kale Shake – kale, banana, cashew, agave, raw

Sun Cafe has been in existence for five years. The first location, which they still own, is small and was more suited to prepared food-to-go. But, in their new larger location on Ventura Blvd, near Vineland, Sun Cafe is housed in a former 1920's duplex. The space is bright and open and radiates freshness with lots of seating.
