Who Likes Mozzarella & Burrata? L.A., That’s Who: Curious about Obika, the Italian mozzarella bar opening Wednesday in the Century City Mall?  I was in NYC when the Midtown location opened, and had mixed feelings about the spot as a "Midtown Lunch". But in general, I have this sneaking suspicion that Los Angeles is going to completely embrace this place...

Get 50% off at Mo Chica!: When we first visited the Mercado La Paloma (over by USC) we chose Chichen Itza, over super popular Peruvian spot Mo Chica, purely because of price.  Well this solves that problem for other cheap bastards like ourselves.  Today's Groupon gets you $20 worth of food at popular Mo Chica for just $10. Yes please!

Charity Truck Bringing Little Dom’s to Mid Wilshire Today: Today the Cart for a Cause Truck will be parked at 5700 Wilshire from Noon to 2pm serving spaghetti and meatballs, a tomato and burrata bruschetta, and a brisket sandwich made by Chef Brandon Boudet from Little Dom's in Los Feliz.  You get an entree, plus dessert, plus a drink for $10 and the money goes to charity.  Do it.  Do it.

Lunch’er Esther Hits Up School Food: Check it out!  Freelance writer, pro surfer, and Profiled L.A. Lunch'er "Esther Hahn" reviewed K-Town's School Food Blooming Roll on Squid Ink today. According to her it's not as good as the original Korean locations- but just looking at her photos is putting me in the mood for another go at the gigantor plate of kimbap we tried there back in May.

Baby’s vs. Grill Em All: Remember when that Travel Channel Show "Food Wars" showed up in L.A. to pit the Baby's Badass Burger truck against the Grill Em All truck? The episode is finally going to air on Wednesday night (UPDATE: And I'm in it stuffing my face?!) In the mood for a truck burger today? Baby's is on Pennsylvania and 26th, Grill em All is in Studio City (4024 Radford.)

Sunday is the Last Free Baguette Day at Wally’s: Just a friendly reminder... Sunday is the last day to get a free baguette with any purchase at the semi-new Wally's Cheese Box in Westwood.  We recommend the sandwiches.
