IN THE MIX: Pancake review with special guest...
This weekend I had the honor of actress Jessica Luza (who some of you may know from “The Lost & Found Family,” and most recently from her guest starring role on “House”) join me as a reviewer for Ma’amCakes.
Jessica and I visited the infamous - and I say infamous based on the line in the photo above - Toast Bakery Cafe on 3rd St and Harper Ave in Los Angeles,...

Pancake Review at: JINKY'S CAFE

Pancake Review at: BLUE PLATE
Through the recommendation of a friend, on Sunday I visited a restaurant I’ve never been to called Blue Plate, located on Montana Avenue and 14th Street in Santa Monica. I’m always slightly apprehensive to try a new restaurant, particularly because we all have our go-to spots- especially for pancakes!

The three of us had Sunday brunch at celebrity hot-spot Hugo’s, located on Riverside Dr. and Coldwater Canyon in Studio City, CA. I’d previously heard the phrase “celebrity hot-spot” in affiliation with...
