The Brunch Report: {PANN'S RESTAURANT AND COFFEE SHOP}

Growing up in L.A, you've surely passed by Pann's.  Nestled in the middle Ladera Heights, it borders: Centinela, LaCienega, and LaTijera; those that know this place will understand.  It is not until recently that I actually frequented Pann's.  The diner-like setting makes up in tasty food what they lack in decor and ambiance.  Bottomless mimosas are apparent winning feature.  Try Pann's brunch this weekend as a pre-game on your Sunday Funday.  Order the chicken and waffles.  Here is how Pann's rate on the Brunch Report!

While it is not the most L.A.gant, I recommend it

Navigate through Dine LA Restaurant Week

    

DineLA Restaurant Week should be one of the most anticipated time of the year for the Los Angeles foodie.  Restaurant week lasts two weeks (excluding Saturday and Sunday) and happens twice a year (winter and summer).  Over three hundred fine dining restaurants in Los Angeles participate and offer prix fixe at a fraction of their normal prices. I encourage all of my urbanites to experience new places that they never would have gotten the chance to try. I recall saving up to go to at least 3 restaurants each week. I have been for a few years and since then have slowed down. But it definitely should be on any Los Angeleno's to do list at least once a year.

Here are a few tips from the L.A.gant girl to navigate through and maximize the most out of your dine LA week:

1.  Book Early!  RESERVATIONS ARE A MUST!

Reserve at Open Table or call the restaurant yourself.  Either way make sure you let the restaurant know you are reserving for dineLA.

2.  Pre-game if you must.

What will make your dineLA experience costly is the miscellaneous drink purchases.  So, have a glass of champagne (or two) before you leave to reduce the costs.  Dessert is always included in the specials.

3.  Go where you've never been.

While I would love to go to Ruth's Chris every single time, I had to broaden my horizons.  Besides, you get an opportunity to sample several items off of the menu and you don't have to ask your server for suggestions.  

Here's a sample menu below.
Choose one from each section:  an appey, an entree and dessert!  what more can a girl (or guy) ask for?

4.  Do your research 
You may have been wanting to go to Republic but you may find that the kimchi fried rice is not on the menu, so you should take your talents to another location; like LeBron took his talents to South Beach.  Click here to navigate through the site.  Its quite user friendly AND has all 300+ restaurants and what they are serving (lunch or dinner or both).



5.  Need help with picking a location(s) to try
