    When it comes to fries in this town, passions run deep. The sheer mention of In-N-Out French fries can be considered a call to arms. (Of course, there are specific measures one can take so they don’t suck quite as much). Larry Mantle, host of LAist 89.3’s AirTalk, asked listeners to share their picks for best fries during a recent call-in segment — and the board lit up.

    When I told people I was going to try a $100 margarita, I was immediately met with a reaction that I can only describe as shock and awe. “Is it really $100?” “Why would anyone pay that much?” “Is this really what you call working?”I’d learned about the uber-fancy cocktail on offer at upscale restaurant Providence from Caroline Pardilla, cocktail writer and author of Margarita Time, which I'd recently written about.

    It’s hard to remember, but there was a time when you ordered a margarita it would come frozen and blended like a slushie. Often accompanied by a jaunty umbrella. The margarita first gained popularity in the '50s and '60s but by the time the '70s and '80s came around, it was subjected to bottled juices, low-quality tequila and other indignities.
