Suggestions for Office Coffee Service?
Anyone have any opinions regarding a good vendor for coffee & brewing equipment for a small office? We're in Santa Monica, and are always struggling with consumer drip machines that fall apart after being used for six months, and interns that don't know how to measure ground coffee.
Are there any vendors, or even equipment, that are particularly good for a small office that likes "good" (fresh, well-roasted, preferably ethically sourced) coffee?
Thanks in advance.
A True Test of Faith: Sabor a Mexico Culver City
I live literally around the corner, but had yet to go until last week (when I was walking back from a body shop). I now live and breathe this place. It's knocked out my prior favorite of Taco Miendo, perhaps on the strength of the salsa bar alone.
Good dinner for a group in the Mission.
Anyone have any thoughts? I live in LA now, so I'm out of the loop. I'm looking for a place in the Mission for dinner for 10-12 people. More formal than a burrito, but not too formal. And no tapas (the answer for "good for a group in the Mission?" is always "tapas"). Thanks, all.
CSA Farm weekly home delivery in LA?
When I lived in San Francisco, I always subscribed to the Terra Firma Farm (http://www.terrafirmafarm.com/) delivery service. Here in LA, I love my local farmer's markets, but I can rarely get to them due to my work schedule, and end up buying my produce at the supermarket too often for my taste.
Does anyone know of a Community Supported Agriculture service similar to the Terra Firma/Eatwell Farms model in Los Angeles?
Want to try, but too overpriced?
To the point of "want to try, but too overpriced," definitely Cut. I'd love to try some American wagyu, but not for the mediocre reviews it's been getting. A restaurant like Urasawa provides an overall experience, which one could argue somehow justifies the cost. Cut just sounds like no fun — not really a foodie place, but a power-dinner temple of excess. Too Park Avenue to throw down for.
Best Burger in LA?
Father's Office, if for no other reason than the presence of Racer 5 on tap. For the classic diner burger, I think Apple Pan is pretty unbeatable, but the relish is an aquired taste. Houston's has the best quality of meat, and they have the best buns (yeah, you heard me).
