Cheat Days (and Nights) at Glendale’s Raffi’s
01 Mar 2012Raffi’s (5/5) There isn’t much to say that hasn’t already been shouted from the rooftops about Raffi’s Persian-Armenian cuisine. Just know that alongside Korean BBQ and a day spent in the San Gabriel Valley, Raffi’s makes my list of restaurants specifically reserved for cheat days and fat pants.

My favorite brunch spot is Camilo’s on Colorado–they make a mean breakfast burrito and have fabulous coffee. My favorite French is Café Beaujolais. On Sundays, we usually go to “Lazy Sunday’s Wine Tasting” at the Colorado Wine Co. When I want a snack, I go to Spitz for an awesome wrap. If I need to do some work, I head over to Swork.
