Woodspoon

Was extremely excited to come to Woodspoon with a few of my friends last night.  I had actually made plans a few weeks back to venture over to downtown LA to get my grub on at Woodspoon, but they were closing early due to maintenance. This time around, they were open and I was happy.  When we got there, I saw right away that this restaurant was on the smaller size (seating for about 30-35) and you could see the open kitchen towards the back of the restaurant.  We got there about 8:30pm and IT WAS BUSY! Waited about 30-40 minutes before we were seated (party of 5) but the wait was well worth it! The food was amazing and I left extremely happy.

Yucca Fries and Sausage

Chicken Brazilian Grill 

Brazilian Chicken Pot Pie filled with chicken, corn, hearts of palm with a flaky crust. Woodspoon's specialty and a MUST!

Couldn't resist the Plantains

Brazilian Flan with Coconut

*Not pictured is the Fish Sandwich made with Tilipia Fish, which was amazing, but  the photo is playing hide-n-seek with me right now! Will upload asap! 

Auntie Em's Cupcakes

Happy New Year everyone!

Starting the new year with a craze that exploded in 2010.. Cupcakes.  I didn't go wild during cupcake craze, and tasted my fair share of cupcakes, overall I thought they were all ok to pretty good, but nothing phenomenal.  Enter Auntie Em's in Eagle Rock... A very dear friend of mine gave me Auntie Em's cupcakes for the holidays, 1 Red Velvet and 1 Chocolate.  When I took my first bite of the Red Velvet cupcake it was like an explosion of creamy cheesy goodness and super moist cake.  I was in cupcake heaven... The Chocolate Cupcake was just as good! Moist chocolate cake topped with chocolate ganache like frosting.  Wow... what a way to end 2010...

Apparently, 2011 is going to be the year of the Pie... I keep telling my dear friend to start her own pie business because she makes THE most amazing pies... she probably thinks I am joking.... I am not! :)

Wishing you all a joyous and super yummy 2011!!!
