Food to EAT, Things to SEE, Places to GO
25 of us enjoyed a veritable banquet food at Pok Pok LA in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. Pok Pok LA is the newest Los Angeles restaurant from highly regarded and James Beard-awarded Portland chef, Andy Ricker. The cuisine is Northern Thai that is influenced and presented in as fun, Thai street […]
We started out our fourth year of lunches on beautiful day at West Hollywood’s Terrine. Terrine is a California brasserie that combines classic French dishes with a Californian flair. Helmed by Chef Kris Morningstar, Terrine’s seasonal cuisine served on their lovely patio was the perfect setting for our first lunch […]
Our December lunch was held on the perfect day at the perfect place! The patio at West Hollywood’s Eveleigh is the perfect spot on a clear sunny day for a relaxing lunch with girl friends that. Great food, friendly service, and a killer view of LA’s Westside made this the […]
Now that the Thanksgiving turkey is well behind us, there’s still time to turn our attention to the holiday get-together! We have been coordinating a monthly ladies luncheon for the last three years so we’ve got a pretty good list of great places to check out if you are thinking […]

Our June 2015 Foodie Birthday lunch was the last lunch before everyone scatters for the summer and produced our largest turnout ever. 57 ladies showed up to enjoy a wonderful Vietnamese-fusion meal at the newly opened District by Hannah An in West Hollywood. The District is located across the street […]
