“It makes me feel the way I need to feel.” --Snoop Dogg Welcome to High Standards... With marijuana now legal in 29 states medically, recreationally in 8 states (with California coming on board as of Jan. 1st), the cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing businesses in the history of our modern economy. Weed is now a $7 billion dollar a year industry, in the United States alone. Every year, new markets open up in the United States and across the world. And with that in mind a few wee...

Edible Skinny was lucky enough to grab a mean morning meal at Breakfast Republic while in San Diego a few weeks ago. BR is Amy Schumer of breakfast places; its East Village location has an exterior that screams sunny disposition, but with an irreverent mind as dirty as any sailor disembarking from the Midway. For example, this breakfast joint is big on the cock (as in the Rooster). This male chicken adorns multiple aspects of decor from statues to t-shirts. The Wi-Fi password: Run Cock Run. The...
The Thomas Gals were in action, anti-Sin City style! LA based Kelly traversed the desert for a few days of rest, relation, and good old fashioned fun! Yes we bookended the visit with an obligatory (and spectacular) sojourn to the Strip, but this trip was about the other side of Vegas, the one that most of our 42 million visitors per year miss out on! First stop was Red Rock Canyon, this popular picturesque desert park showcases a set of large red rock formations (hence the name): a set of sandst...

Last week ago, Edible Skinny was lucky enough to get to discover the world of Torrance, California, one bite at a time. Uncrowded and welcoming, Torrance is a secret stash of rich local experiences waiting to be shared. 15 minutes from LAX, 1.5 miles of pristine beach, 2.7 million square feet of shopping bliss (most of it located the at the Del Amo Mall, the 5th largest mall in America!), and 14 hotels perfectly designed for any need. Torrance is stepping into the spotlight as the perfect...
Edible Skinny was lucky enough to be able to swing by again to the super delicious Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken last week to explore their new popular dish: wings. Specially marinated, coated in Astro's signature breading and tossed in a choice of homemade Korean BBQ and Sriracha Buffalo sauce, these wings are a perfect addition to LA Rams Game Day, Sunday Funday, or one of the final shows at the Hollywood Bowl. Take heed though... the wings are an exploration in saucy messiness and take 15...
A few weeks ago Edible Skinny was lucky enough to spend a night at the delightful emerald oasis that is the M Resort Spa Casino in Las Vegas. Now I will confess, I had driven by the M Resort for over a year on our multiple sojourns between Sin City and the City of Angeles, never stopping to consider it at all. So when I walked into this shelter for Vegas Locals and those not interested in the craziness of the strip, I was stunned by its elegance. Infused with originality, quality, and value in e...

Dimples, dents, divots, lines, ripples, lumps, bumps, saddlebags, sagging skin, any which way you label it, it's the one thing that no women wants to be caught dead wearing: Cellulite (with a Capital C). But according to Ashley Black, self-described Fasciology guru and best-selling author of The Cellulite Myth: It's Not Fat, It's Fascia, the ban of women's existence, Cellulite, doesn't really exist at all. "Fat is not what's making everyone dimply and dented," states Black in her book. "In...
A few weeks ago Edible Skinny was lucky enough to tour the wine wonders of Paso Robles. Now we've done California vino before with jaunts to Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara, and Temecula, but this was our first delving into the world of Paso. It was an uncharted wine getaway, the perfect excuse for Kat and Kelly to hop in the car and discover all that this growing wine region has to offer. Paso Robles is located approximately halfway between the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is a...
A week ago Edible Skinny was lucky enough to check out Astro Doughnuts and Fried Chicken while in hubbub of DTLA and they are Super (with a capital letter S) Fab (with a capital letter F)! Now Stop! I know that every Angeleno rolls their eyes at the idea of another sweet shop in LA; I mean, once Sprinkles premiered its Cupcake ATM we thought everything had been done... But Astro does some Darn Fine missing hole sweetmeats! And the originally from DC Astro, which opened its LA outpost in April...

"I don't know how many Michelin stars are on stage, but it's a lot." --Andrew Knowlton, Deputy Editor Bon Appétit A few weeks ago Edible Skinny was lucky enough to enjoy the foodie high life at the 11th Annual Vegas Uncork'd, a four day long food extravaganza held by Bon Appétit.

Edible Skinny was cruzin' last month when we attended Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, the world's largest rockabilly event at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas over Easter weekend! For those needing the skinny, rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, dating back to the early 1950s in the United States. As genre it blends the sound of Western musical styles such as country with that of rhythm and blues, leading to what is considered "classic" rock and roll....
Edible Skinny loves a road trip like nobody's fool so last month were delighted to hop in our ride towards the Bay area! There we explored Mysterious Mansions, dined on extravagant (and veggie friendly) tasting menus and at a hotel that has one of the most breathtaking views this country has to offer! The Winchester Mystery House Our first stop was something for our inner Nancy Drew had been dying to do for years: a tour of the world famous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California! San J...
Edible Skinny has taken note that as cannabis steps into the world of legal respectability with recreational sales commencing in Las Vegas as of July 1st (as long as everything goes according to plan...) more "reputable" vice industries are starting to take note. Especially considering the state of Colorado made a Billion dollars on this "illicit" industry last year alone! Such was the case at last month's Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show, which was attended by over 30,000...

--In November of 2016, both Prop 64 and Prop 2 passed legalizing recreational marijuana in the states of California and Nevada. --By the end of 2016 Los Angeles welcomed 47.3 million visitors to its sunny locale while Las Vegas had 42.9 million flock to Las Vegas. A two months ago on January 1st, 2107, a man in black tactical-style gear and tarpaulins (one with a peace sign, one with a heart) altered the iconic Hollywood sign to read HollyWEED. One would think cities that welcome more tourists p...
