Bree Crocetti - Food Columnist
Bree Crocetti, Food Columnist. Having grown up in Culver City, Bree Crocetti has witnessed and
chronicled Culver City's food scene and seen it transformed from plebian
ice cream to upscale gelato, from over-sauced Italian fare to delicate
ravioli with brown butter and sage. She's now excited to say she is
from Culver City where new hip restaurants and bars have been packed
from opening day. While the Westside is her main stomping ground, she has been known to forage east of La Cienega to explore food and drink of
all varieties, from offal to the perfect pizza to a tasting of rare
wines. She is a founding member of the wine club, 'The National Health
and Wellness Society,' established with friends to learn more about the
world's wines, and of course, to drink them. Bree is a graduate of The
New School of Cooking in Culver City. When not photographing, eating,
and drinking around town, she can be seen trekking through Rome in
search of the perfect plate of Cacio e Pepe or burning it all off in
local 5K races. Bree Crocetti is a private chef and food blogger.

Live Music, Fun and Festive — Sevilla Is a Place to Linger All NightBy Bree Crocetti @ 8:00 AM July 10, 2008When my friend was attending grad school in Riverside, Sevilla was one of her favorite haunts. When I would visit her, we always dined there, upstairs in the bar, loading up on tapas and wine, while listening to some Flamenco guitar. A fellow Riverside grad was in town, and itching for some of their alioli and sangria, so we went to Sevilla, but opted for the closer locale in Long Beach. read |
