Dining Review: Peacha's makes for a rockin' hole in the wall
Whiplash is one of the hazards of my job. I take unfamiliar streets when I drive around town with the express purpose of discovering new restaurants. Peacha's, a tiny place on south Victory near Alameda in Burbank, made me do a hard double-take, almost...

Burb's Eye View: Help us rate the best burger in town
In the battle of man vs. food, man must always win. Otherwise, it's just sad to say it was bologna that did you in. Almost a year ago, I tested my gastronomic threshold for sandwiches.

Dining review: A taste of the second city on the left coast
When I go to Chicago, I pack some clothes that won’t be coming back with me — socks wearing through at the heel, shirts that don’t really match anything else in my wardrobe, shoes that I think about wearing but rarely do. It’s...

After 20 years, Riverside Cafe closes down

Dining review: A taste of old Hollywood
Hollywood has Musso & Frank Grill, and West Hollywood has that lovable old hussy, the Formosa Cafe. For a squinting glimpse of old Hollywood glamour, Burbank turns to the SmokeHouse. It's a joint that's been serving up prime rib and iceberg wedges...

Dining review: Take a wildly successful trip to the deli
There should be a course at cooking schools called the Psychology of Restaurants. What makes us go into one restaurant and avoid another? For instance, my personal biases make me resist places that look corporate and slickly merchandised. So I was a...

Burb's Eye View: Student chef isn't in it for the halibut
They came from all over the West Coast, six challengers armed to the teeth with knives and steel wills. They would need both to come out on top.

Burb's Eye View: Sausage king has links to past and future
On San Fernando near the border of Glendale and Burbank, it looks as if someone flew in a sausage haus from Bavaria and dropped it smack between a bank and a blank beige wall. It wasn’t moved there, though walking into the Continental Gourmet...Tags: Restaurant and Catering Industry, Sausages, Movies, Germany, Lifestyle and Leisure
