I am a professional living in Los Angeles who enjoys exploring the nooks-and-crannies of the Southern California gastro-underbelly. Mnnn...underbelly. You can find me at both the dive bar pubs and food trucks as well as the bougie culinary institutions - or you can simply check out this blog!! Hope you enjoy!
My friends Sara and Tim, formerly of Los Angeles and currently of Park City, like to pop in on occasion to offer their two cents.Contributors: Harold Lee, Sara Phillips & Tim Brennan.The key to a simple carbonara: 1) black pepper; 2) freshly shaved parmesan; 3) pancetta (not bacon); and 4) thick cream. It’s lack of the latter that did me in (2% milk is a poor substitute) and turned my meal into a breakfast pasta. Thick cream is also the key component to coffee at the Applepan.
