When Steffie Love loves something she will make damn sure everybody knows it and try to spread the infection of curiosity throughout her friends so that we will in turn learn to love whatever it is s...
Ever since I moved back to California I have been on the hunt for adequate pizza. Along the way I have found some very excellent pizza, but none have come so close to holding a candle, nay, surpassin...
I’m not really a big fan of Polynesian food. Neither is Steffie or my sister. What we are game for, however, are tropical fruity drinks on a Friday afternoon. Despite being armed with the knowl...
Long time no blog my friends, but it certainly isn’t due to a lack of interest but lack of mobility due to lack of good health. I am s-l-o-w-l-y recovering and getting out and about again. Cele...
Dear Readers, As some of you may know, I had surgery in early November. Some of you may also know that I was re-hospitalized for a mysterious illness and kept in the hospital for 6 days with no luck ...
This was a very difficult list to make. Instead of “overall” restaurants I decided to go with dish-specific eats. I omitted items from anyplace I’d already eaten at in years prior, ...
I’ll take a brief moment out of this post to let you know I’m hanging in there after my surgery. I developed complications brought on by a separate issue shortly after my release, putting...
Are you ready to chow down for charity? I hope so, because the 4th annual Eat My Blog Bake Sale is gearing up to sell the best sweets and savories from many Los Angeles food bloggers. All proceeds be...
My friend Maruko of Rabu Rabu Maruko is sharing her latest review of a love hotel in Japan. Thanks, Maruko! – R If you’re going to travel in Japan, one of the things you’re likely t...
I gave a Twitter shout out for people to send in their favorite recipes and my Tweeter pal Amemait sent not one, not two, not three but four marvelously easy recipes. Two dinners, one dessert and a f...
Randall C. and I have known one another since freshman year of high school. He was the first of our group of friends to become a parent and have to face the frightening reality of A Real Job and cari...
Squishy hugs and waffles for my friend Tori from Chicks with Crossbows for her guest post while I’m recovering from surgery. Thank you, Tori! – R I’m a sucker for small cupcakeries. Yeah,...
I know it seems like Canada Week here on Glass of Win but…shush. I want to finish my Toronto eats! And there were lots of ‘em, too! So many in fact I didn’t even get to record all o...
I wanted to partake in some official Toronto garden excursion while I was visiting, and Spadina House caught my attention over its more infamous neighbor, Casa Loma, for its picture perfect early twe...
Thank you to my wonderful friend Sarah Kushner for writing this very personal guest post for Glass of Win while I’m away at the hospital. – Rachael It was only a couple months ago that I ...
I feel a certain maniacal glee when my local friends confess that they like my blog despite the hunger pangs it induces – except for when they drool over a particularly scrumptious set of food ...
If you follow me on Twitter you’ll already know the gist of this post. I went to Comikaze Expo. I left by 3:00pm. I understand that first year conventions are going to be rough around the edges...
It’s my goal to get through all of my Toronto eats before the end of the year, so at least I can say it only took me 6 or so months. Ha. Anyway. Both Mitzi’s Cafe and Mitzi’s Sister...
The high of Halloween excitement wearing off? Trying to figure out where you can wear that Doctor Who costume you so lovingly pieced together? Well, come on down to the Los Angeles Convention Center ...
It is said that there is a silver lining within every cloud. Sadly, point08 did not make it, but the great minds that brought us point08 got together with the boys of Kings Row/Dog Haus and hatched a...
I think it’s difficult to review a place that doesn’t WOW you or make you filled with rage. It’s the eateries that hit the mark of just above mediocre, that B average student that t...
I’m not afraid to eat alone. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, I’m always amazed to find that many people do not, cannot, will not venture out on their own, especial...
Day Two got off to a slippery start as my guidebooks app contradicted what was in the programming book and I could not find information on Batgirls panel that I wanted to attend. Luckily both Tori an...
I stopped attending conventions regularly in 2003. I felt horrifically closed in at Comic-Con back in 2006 and have vowed not to return until I can as press or professional. I’ve felt the absen...
Thank goodness for older sisters! They really do come in handy, especially when you’re thirteen and need someone with a more mature, authoritative voice to threaten legal action against a couple of i...
Serendipitous is one of my favorite words; it’s fun to say and it makes me sound like a walking thesaurus (which I used to read for fun). It is also the ideal word to describe how I was invited to th...
I’m up in Seattle still – enjoying the afterglow of Geek Girl Con with a medium case of food poisoning that I contracted from Elliot Bay Oyster House. I knew one day I would have a bad oy...
Mochi by glassofwin Notes: I have a lot of items cached in polyvore storage; items that don’t fit with the set I am working on, but that I am instantly inspired by and drawn to. The geta (the J...
Ask around for the best Japanese restaurant in all of Toronto and many Toronto residents will point you at Guu saka bar – either from personal experience or word of mouth. Guu saka bar is a biz...
Geek News Many comic book readers have been talking about The Big Sexy Problem with Superheroines and Their ‘Liberated Sexuality’ by Laura Hudson. Why I probably might disagree with her o...
