LAist Featured Photos contributor pink_fish13 visited Joan's On Third (between La Cienega Blvd. and Fairfax Ave) earlier this week and took some beautiful and healthy food porn photos. Submit your Eye Nosh food 'porn' photos and mini-reviews to LAist via LAist Featured Photos on Flickr.......

Some of us at LAist were among the first to take a bite (and a sip or two!) at the new Father's Office II in the Helms Bakery building. LAist Featured Photos pool contributor ">pink_fish13 also couldn't resist, but opted for this tasty looking twist on a steak salad instead of one of the Office's legendary burgers.

Owner Don Schaefer and his wife traveled to farm after farm in California to meet and greet with farmers, searching for those that fit the sustainable produce bill and also pay their workers a living wage, not minimum wage. Step one: check. Step two: open a restaurant. The Dressing......
