Food lovers who always order dessert: Voting is now open for Food and Wine's The People's Best New Pastry Chef competition, and two Los Angeles up-and-coming sweets stars are in the running for the Best of the West region.

In-N-Out makes burgers beloved by many, but they also have a rep for making sure no one else makes a burger like them--or at least calls it by the same name. Famously protective of their menu and aesthetics, the SoCal chain has asked a nearly 40-year-old Manhattan Beach eatery to take the burger they're calling a Double Double off their menu.

It was a big moment today for the face of a famous restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles. At a special unveiling ceremony, the historic original facade of Clifton's Brookdale Cafeteria was revealed for the first time since the 1950s.

What's going on lately in the L.A food scene? Chew on this: Pacific Standard Time has inspired secret menus and cocktails at two fabulous restaurants, a Beverly Hills food tour might be just the thing to get your sweetie (if they're a foodie), and a how-to video for cooking for Date Night, plus a few more bites of food news.

Miramonte Elementary might be closed for another day as they work to situate a completely new staff from the custodians to the secretaries and every teacher, but the community at large still has the school under scrutiny.

If you are looking for somewhere to be tonight where you can express your support for today's Ninth circuit ruling on the unconstitutionality of Proposition 8, WeHo will be where it's at.
