    Samba Brazilian Steakhouse to Replace Cafe Tu Tu Tango
    Universal City's Cafe Tu Tu Tango was shuttered back in December, yet is surviving in Orange County and... Orange County, Florida (okay, specifically Orlando). Cruising the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control's website, an LAist tipster found that Samba Brazilian Steakhouse is taking the cafe's place. Unclear if they are connected, there's a restaurant with the same name at the Mirage in Vegas and a similarly themed one in Redondo, too. But inquiring minds...

    What's the Best Microbrew in Town That Doesn't Drink Beer?
    We may have just wrapped up a Craft Beer Festival and learned we're "ready for craft beer culture," but the brew enthusiasts at HalogenLife aren't totally sold on Los Angeles as being beer-friendly.

    Vegan Ice Cream Shop Coming to the Cahuenga Pass
    Zach Behrens/LAist Rejoice! The Valley will soon have a dedicated vegan ice cream shop. Spotted on Cahuenga Blvd. at Regal Place, Nice Cream is a few storefronts down from recent vegan newcomer, SunPower Natural Cafe, which is from local veteran Chef Rawsheed. Blogger Quarrygirl has already given SunPower her stamp of approval (she's "dying to go back"), especially because it's not another vegan Thai eatery. At some point in the future, she and others...

    Simply Wrong Food: Wienerschnitzel's Sea Dog
    Good news for those of you who don't eat beef, pork, or pig's anus! Wienerschnitzel has just introduced the amazing new sea dog. Now you can gorge yourself on Alaskan pollock - and fish anus. It wasn't weird enough that Weinerschnitzel (when did they drop the der anyways?) started serving pastrami and Angus chipotle chili dogs. They had to go dredging the ocean. The sea dog must be in a testing phase right now,...
