It’s magazine arrival week & nearly fell over when I saw the cover for Los Angeles Magazine dedicated to cheap eats! Seeing how everything is “recession” targeted, I can really appreciate the breakdown. It’s taken the best of the best from tacos, pizza, hot dogs to burgers & fries. Most are under $15 & a perfect excuse to explore more of the changing LA restaurant/retail landscape. Feeling inspired to try new cheap eats, (restaurants close way too early in LA) I settled for the new Jack in The Box mini sirloin burgers & they are suprisingly sublime. Three cheesy, burgers filled with grilled onions, ketchup on a soft buttery bun. (I did add some mustard which made them deliciously complete) For under $6 bucks it’s enough to keep me thinking about them the next day—-cheesy goodness.

Monica is…ready for San Francisco.

I am so excited to get out of LA for a bit. I haven’t been able to travel as much as I’d like, but I really hope that changes. Every once in while, its nice to get out of your comfortable surroundings & explore a new place or revisit a favorite haunt. I’m heading to San Francisico this weekend & for me trips always represent an opportunity to try some new food. We are staying near Union Square & I’m already craving my favorite breakfast from a cheesy fake 50’s diner, Lori’s Diner. Filled with random crap on the wall, served with a side of nostalgia & delicious American food.

Monics is…so happy she found this.

Kat Dennings is on NYLON Magazine’s “Young Hollywood” issue! Everytime she appears on magazines or in interviews, I actually look forward to reading about what she has to say. She’s trully charming & I can’t wait to see her in The Answer Man formally Arlen Faber playing a spacey hippie (funny enough not what she is) & Robert Rodriguez’s Shorts. Olivia Thirlby is also on the cover & has the quick wit to keep up with Dennings in their “coffee tawk”, with Nylon’s Stephanie Trong. Here’s a few quotes I loved…

On “Perfect Hollywood”—-“Hopefully, the tide is turning. Personally, when I see a movie starring the perfect blah girl with the hunk guy, I’m just like, ‘Oh, screw this. I don’t wanna watch this. Who cares what happens to you guys?’ ”

On “actors being obsessed with looks”—-“I love my career, and I know that looks are a huge part of it–but people are obsessed. Like, ‘Don’t you have other things to do than not eat and go to the gym, you freak?’ I mean, ask any size-0 twit if she’s read a book lately”.
