I’ve been hearing a lot of about LA Galaxy new team mate, Robbie Keane and wifey Claudine, mostly in comparison to David and Victoria Beckham.

The Irish couple had quite the photo op after landing at LAX today, JUST like the day Posh and Becks landed in LA in 2007.

Fresh of the boat, Robbie has come to LA after singing a 2 year deal with The Los Angeles Galaxy (WHO?) for a 4.5 million pay check.  He has been quoted saying that he took a pay cut for the weather, aww, how nice of him to grace us with his presence :-/

This is all making sense to me now!  LA Galaxy stadium is in Carson, which is very close to Orange County.  The first time I saw Claudine all I could think about was her being cast as a future Real Housewife of OC.

Comme Ca (8479 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood, CA)

David Myers’ acclaimed French brasserie recreates the mood of a bustling French eatery for an LA audience: warm, welcoming and casually glamorous.  The menu is rooted in French tradition and can only be described as pure brasserie fare, from hearty Steak Frites to the rich flavors of Escargot Persillade.

Hatfield’s recently re-opened in a new location on Melrose Avenue, one of Los Angeles’ most popular and trendy areas. The new space includes a full bar, conservatory with a living wall of succulents and a private dining room, creating a large space in which the Hatfield’s can both expand their menu and display the culinary team in an exhibition kitchen.
