Mother’s Day is less than a week away and if you’re still scrambling to find the perfect present, you should keep reading. We’re sharing a handful of great Los Angeles tastemakers, all of whom will be at Six Taste’s ‘Decadence: Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea Party’ on Saturday, May 12th (nothing surprises mom more than showing up a day early).

We present this post from the archives as a public service to Justin Bieber, who—according to “Boyfriend”—apparently thinks fondue is sexy. Not so much, Biebs.

Six Awesome Foodie Infographics
Who knew making cocktails could be so easy? Although illustrator Fabio Rex isn’t yet selling these in poster-form, every bar and home should blow one of these up as soon as it’s available. I’ve always wondered what was in a ‘salty dog’.
From our own backyard – I’ve always loved Pizzeria Mozza’s use of their menu. I vehemently agree with the infographic about how sad it is that...
How French Food Works With Korean Ingredients via...
French chef Pierre Gagnaire opened a five-star restaurant in one of Seoul’s biggest hotels, the Lotte in the center city, at the absolute worst time – in 2009, as the country was trying to overcome the global economic crisis.
The Lotte stood by him and he stood by it. And in the three years since, the man who created and whose name is one on of the most praised restaurants in Paris has quietly...

From Jeff's Desk: Top Five LA Dishes I Could Eat...
I’m excited to share this list. Don’t read expecting a list of the top six trendiest restaurants that experiment with the most obscure molecular gastronomy preparations. Nor does this list contain any marijuana-infused dishes. Instead, it features five simple dishes that I would be more than happy to eat every day for the rest of my life.

Why We Love Grand Central Market
If you’re looking for something that’s a cross between the village mercats of Catalonia and something out of a Raymond Chandler novel (probably a getaway scene of some sort) that also happens to be the epicenter of downtown foodie-ism, then look no further. Grand Central Market is at once a tourist’s dream with it’s close location to a metro stop and the Angel’s...
The Pop-Up Food Shops of Oaxaca - The Atlantic →
Pulque, squash-blossom quesadillas, and fried grasshoppers. Just another day wandering the market in the village of Tlacolula de Matamoros, where street vendors sell just about everything.

Because what could go wrong?
Introducing: Tsz!
Tsz is the newest member of the Six Taste team. She’s managing operations, making sure everything runs smoothly from tours to events and everything in-between.
Of the five tastes, which are you and why? Salty, because of the amount of sodium I consume on a daily basis (I’m not proud of it). You’re on death row… what would your last meal be? Fried S&P chicken...

From Jeff's Desk: Becoming a Foodie
As a teenager, I was such a picky eater that I wouldn’t eat steak because it involved too much chewing. Despite growing up on dishes like diniguan, a Filipino stewed pork blood dish, somewhere around adolescence, my palate settled into something significantly less adventurous.
Outside of childhood, no one would have thought I had a foodie bone in my body. Then, in 2004, I moved to Los Angeles...

Sometimes one photo can inspire an entire series. That’s what happened with @aelana’s #spilladay photos. Last year, she took a photo of her morning coffee, spilled across the table. That sparked a series of #spilladay photos, each morning bringing a new spill and a new photo. The…
EATAKU: McDonald's Japan March 2012 →
Kind of the opposite of one of our tours…American food in Narita, instead of Japanese food in Little Tokyo. So meta.
eataku:
With a two hour layover in Narita, I figured I’d hit up the McDonald’s here and score one of those new Wasabi Oroshi Chicken Tatsuta sandwiches I tweeted about last week. But upon arrival, I was crushed to discover that “For a Limited Time” meant for a VERY...
