Usually, I don’t like eating at the same place more than once. & no, that has nothing to do with that fact that I’m willing to try anything once, twice. & when it becomes more than that, it’s a damn habit for Christ’s sake. 😊 I don’t want to sound like a diva, & some might say I have a flare for the dramatics, but I’m selective; I like trying new cuisines & restaurants, so if I continuously eat at the same ones, it’s going to take longer to get further.

Los Angeles offers a lot. Actually, California offers a lot. That doesn’t mean I don’t have my go-to eateries, & there will never be an end to fast food, especially when you’re under the influence, or just feel like piggin’ out –in a food way! 😉

Places, like people, and fashion, and now reboots of TV shows, or just TV shows in general, come and go. One restaurant I would never get tired of going to: Rockwell. I love Rockwell in the Los Feliz village. Well, I should sadly, or respectively, say LOVED! ☹ I learned today, which was like a week ago, maybe two –sorry! I’ve been busy! See missing posts from the last X number of months! Nearly last year! I learned the hard way, of course, Rockwell was closing down —permanently! Enter sad emoji here! I was on my way over there to have their infamous brunch, ran into thee chef Wayne, & he himself told me one of my favourite places was closing down. Well, it’s actually turning into an online catering service. Yeah, not the same. Who knows!?! Think of the real estate! That probably explains why no one was answering the phone when I was trying to make a reservations & the website was out of whack, but it still said it was open!?! & you know if something is published on the internet, IT’S TRUE! So what was I to think!?! That was my spot! I had my book party there! That magical night on November 8, 2014…

I’ve introduced Rockwell to sooo many people & they all loved it! I loved the big tree right smack on the middle of it all, the private areas upstairs, the vintage everything inside, the outdoor bar, which was super rad, the back entrance through the alley, which was super slick, the entrance right in the beginning of the village, & of course, the bottomless mimosas! I had good memories there. A few I don’t remember. The staff was hot, of course. Insert cat emoji with the heart eyes. There was a photo booth there. The photos taken there, that’s a secret I’ll never tell. The food was good, a few fusion dishes. Many of my guests loved the chorizo benedict. Sadly, I never went to any of the shows they had there. It would have seemed like a rock-in’ time! I think it’s a little ironic Rockwell is closing as things are beginning to open [again]. A true hidden gem is closing.

Rockwell. I also like that word: Rockwell. Hopefully one day it’ll be resurrected. Rockwell was only around for 11 years. I’m lucky to have known it for majority of its life. That can be deemed as aged for Hollywood standards. Ah, the loss of a great one. Rockwell: because I rock it well.
