All right, so the little bit of writer’s presumption above isn’t really true. You and I both know lots of folks who are more (or less) than the words they put down on paper or on a computer screen. But for the blogging set, there’s more than the ring of truth to it, no? Those blogs that sit abandoned after two or three well-meaning posts – they speak to a lack of conviction, a lack of perseverance. And unfortunately, I know whereof I speak.

But enough of all that prologue. What’s this new deal about? Well, recently I’ve been thinking that I could put some thoughts down here about eating and drinking in Los Angeles circa 200-. It’s a good time for a blog about pursuing the Savarinian arts in the Southland. Not to say that there aren’t already some terrific LA-oriented food and/or wine blogs out there already. Heck, this blog wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for many excellent writers, duly compensated or not, out there in search of the perfect pear or al pastor taco. But there’s always room for another voice, and maybe this one’ll even end up saying something you haven’t heard before. I’ll try and keep the topics as specific as possible – the ins and outs of the not-so-rich seeking transcendent gastronomical experiences on the plate or in the bottle. Sounds good? Good. Let’s get on with it, no?
