LA's scandalous coming of age
When you think of Los Angeles, images of movie stars, sunshine and a laid-back lifestyle come to mind. Yet in Richard Rayner's new book, he describes a very different kind of town. Like a tale by the great noir fiction greats Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, Rayner describes some of L.A.'s most high profile scandals and murders. Richard Rayner joins Larry Mantle to talk about his book and LA’s scandalous coming of age.

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.
