If you want awesome bruschetta, this Italian restaurant in Downtown Long Beach is where to get it. Grilled ciabatta bread is topped with creamy burrata cheese, hand-ground pesto and marinated yellow & red cluster tomatoes drizzled with olive oil ($8.95). Order it and there's a good chance you'll be singing an aria before you even touch your main entree.

Mar Yvette - did anyone inform you of the alternate meaning of "Beat Your Meat?"

Interesting choice of words for your headline.

Oh if only I could turn away from animal proteins, curse my omnivorous heart!

This is just wrong on so many levels. besides the obvious reference to masturbation, look at all the carbohydrates that are in the pictured meal! No wonder the proponent is on the "heavy" side.

First off, Mar Yvette is on TV every week and she is beautiful - to call her heavy is to make the rest of us feel like crap. The problem with guys like you is, you make women feel like they are never skinny or fit enough. You are the problem, not some catchy headline which I personally found pretty funny. You need to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Listen up lisa from nh, check with any medical doctor and you will discover, much to your surprise I am sure, that excess carbohydrates simply turn to fat on the human body unless they are burned quickly. My observation is that Mar does NOT burn carbs quickly, thus the scientific result that weight is gained as carbs are converted to fat. This isn't personal, it's science, sort of like climate change...

If only there was a way to avoid meat, eat only tasty proteins, and not become a low energy annoying personality like every vegan and vegetarian I have ever met. If only...

It's true. Every vegan I've ever met announces it to me within 30 seconds or so.

Hm. If this is about being "heart healthy" as lot of these are pretty tough in regard to fat/salt. Most cheese and deep fried food has an impact as bad as many meats. This stuff looks nice, but in moderation please... especially if you are watching fat and salt.

Why is masturbation a story in the food section?
