Food Blog: Is There Sooomebody Who Still Believes In A Date?
By TSL Editors | Blog Right now I have the extremely catchy song "Somebody to Love" by Robin Thicke and Leighton Meester stuck in my head as it plays every 20 minutes on KIIS FM here in L.A. (This song sounds nothing like the classic Jefferson Airplane 70's hit of the same name). The chorus of the song reminds me of a debate we had ...

Food Blog: How Does A Critic Stay In Shape? And La Piccoletta Wrap Up
By TSL Editors | Blog For those who haven't checked out today's TSL yet, this week's review is of the quaint and cute Claremont trattoria La Piccoletta.
