Shorty’s Bar-B-Q

It’s been almost 50 years since “Shorty” Allen opened his first log-cabin-style barbecue restaurant. Though the business changed hands in 1980, the hickory-smoked chicken and ribs, creamy coleslaw, and homemade baked beans remain the same. Consistently good food at affordable prices is only part of the recipe for Shorty’s success. Other ingredients include a comfy […]

Dolphins memorabilia also attract the eye, but the real attention-getter in this upscale steak house is the meat cart, featuring porterhouse, Kansas City strip, New York sirloin, and cowboy steaks, not to mention filet mignon and a live […]

Siam Palace

It’s not difficult to find a Thai restaurant on Sunset Drive. Sometimes it seems as if there’s one on every block east of SW 117th Avenue.

Drawing inspiration from their time together in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake area, the couple serves straightforward American fare with subtle French and Latin twists […]
