You didn't really think that an obsessive/compulsive listgeeky tastespotter would blog about food for three years without meticulously keeping careful, detailed track of every (no, really, every) single place she's gone, did you?
You just didn't know that the Delicious Dining Index even existed because the link has been (and will continue to be) hiding in that sidebar over there and who the hell ever looks at a blog's sidebar anyway?!?!
Right.
Now, the index is quite cumbersome because it is wholly maintained by a painstaking manual process that only allows my htmlly-challenged brain to create one long, alphabetized list. Some day, when my badass bow-hunting skills can be translated to the web, I will make this index all slick with categorization and the ability to sort and filter. Oooh. Fancy.
Until then, grab your cocktail and click forth at your own risk. You haven't seen anything this well-endowed since...
Oh, never mind.

Craig says
I was confused since I know you went to some other places. :) But then I remembered you are in your own DL universe where time continuim is at your own pace.
al says
Cookies, cupcakes and now a whole list of foooood places! It's opening the flood gates of all kinds of cravings. And I have to wear a peach (shudder) bridesmaid dress this year :( I'm going to look like a giant peach (minus the fuzz because I'll have the decency to shave).
sarah j. gim says
craig: yep...and that's actually going to be a post in the next few days (or weeks!) - about how there is no sense of linear time here at The Delicious Life :)
al: peach! i feel you. when my sister got married, i was a giant tangerine ;)
taste memory says
man...and I thought I get hungry!
Great list....glad to hear gaucho grill is still around; though a chain, they are still good for a few things.
I like all the little Japanese spots you mentioned @ W.LA + Sawtelle!
sarah j. gim says
taste memory: gaucho is still around, and in fact, i just read that the founders are changing their chic hollywood steakhouse, charcoal, into a flagship gaucho grill. haha!

Paul says
Your father's legal surname in English is actually "Gim?"
Or, is the spelling of your surname something you took into your own hands?
Just Bekka says
I love your index & I in fact have turned to it the 2 times I headed to LA!! It's perfect! I suppose I am 1 of the select few that looks AND reads what's in the side bars of Blogs! I thought everyone did?!?!?!
Terry B says
Sarah--What a great list! We are so mining it next time we head to LA. Chez Jay and Frying Fish were two favorite stops when we did our big California road trip last fall. Have you been to Daikokuya in Little Tokyo? We had some amazing ramen there, sitting at the counter and watching the cooks work.
I empathize with you about sidebars not getting read, by the way. I put a lot of love into my Kitchen Boombox and WTF? sidebars each week, only to see them sitting there like forlorn little wallflowers while everyone dances with my food posts.
monish says
would you like to link with my site at http://www.demureholidays.com
if yes get back to me soon.

Sababa Long Beach says
Sababa Restaurant and Lounge should definitely be added to this list. Its a hidden gem in Long Beach, specializing in Modern American and Mediterranean cuisine. Drinks are trendy and tasty, and the food was creating by Iron Chef contestant Eric Greenspan. You can check out all the details at http://www.gosababa.com
