On the Wings of Birds, Dragons and The Doors

Heron Grass

L.A. Has Gone to the Birds!   

L.A. for birds is what Florida is for New Yorkers -- our warm weather, beaches and parks make this the perfect destination to migrate. While the white droppings our winged friends leave behind is none too pleasant, seeing a variety of birds in their natural habitat is certainly impressive. Observe these beauteous visitors on guided  Walks through local Parks and don't forget to bring your binoculars.

Year of the Dragon   

Chinese New Year is right around the corner and if you missed last year's parade check out our video and photos HERE.

 Casebolt & Smith -- Born Entertainers and Skilled Movers in O(h)
By Kelly Hargraves  

I turned gay watching Joel Smith dance the other day. No really, I did! I couldn't stop watching Joel's half naked, perspiring body dance. His partner Liz Casebolt had warned me (in song, no less) that if I stared too long I would "turn gay" and I did it anyway!

   

Casebolt & Smith

Despite her clever, knowing way of anticipating what a helpless audience member like me would do, and the musical warning, I did it anyway! I bet I wasn't the only one, either...

Who's Your Daddy? Still Running, Still Popular
by M.R. Hunter


Who's Your Daddy?

At the risk of becoming the last call critic, I saw Johnny O'Callaghan's wildly successful one-man show now extended through February 19 at the Victory Theatre in Burbank.

There's a danger in reviewing a show preceded by a lot of positive buzz. Part of you has to squelch the temptation of raking it over the coals and the other part wonders if all the hoopla is justified...

 Ludo Bites 7.0 with Chef Ludo Lefebvre

Made Me a Believer Again
By Abby Abanes

Ludo Milkshake For those of you who may have read my post entitled "My Food Journey from Ludo Bites 3.0 to 5.0", you know that Ludo Bites 5.0 was a bit disappointing for me.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to dine at Ludo Bites 6.0 so I missed out on a chance to see whether or not a new menu would take me back to a high note.  Thankfully, I made my way to Ludo Bites 7.0 and with this menu from Chef Ludo Lefebvre, it made me a believer all over again.

Our meal started with the Bouillabaise Milkshake.  Just recently, I had a conversation at another dinner with a fellow diner and he had mentioned that this particular milkshake played with his head.  Even though he knew what it was, he took one look at the milkshake when it arrived and automatically thought of a sweet vanilla milkshake.  However, with one sip, his (as well as my)  taste buds experienced something that was cold, lush, rich, creamy, but with definite seafood flavors.
