Living Large at Larchmont Wine & Cheese

Sandwichy bliss.

The little area known as Larchmont in the middle of Los Angeles is LA’s version of Main Street America.  Populated mostly by mom and pop shops, it features a few chains and also its fair share of shuttered establishments.  In the middle of this strip of Americana resides Larchmont Village Wine, Spirits & Cheese.  Though the place certainly has its fair share of wines, spirits and cheeses, the main draw is the sandwiches.  The long, yet swiftly moving line is a testament to these sandwiches.  They offer only seven select sandwiches and not one of them is extravagant.

Tasting Anger at the Avocado Grill

Beer Me Some Breckenridge Agave Wheat

The taste of skiing?

Colorado is definitely a beer state, and not just because Coors comes from the Rocky Mountain State.  No, it is also home to New Belgium (of Fat Tire fame) and seemingly countless other micro and craft breweries.  While in Breckenridge for a ski weekend, I decided I had to at least try one of these, and because it turned out to be the only one available at dinner, my choice happened to come from the creatively named Breckenridge Brewery.  The brewery, by the way, is actually no longer in Breckenridge, having expanded and moved to Denver in 1992.
