Sake Illuminated, A Sake Tasting Event @the museum of neon art
After going to the MOCA Ecstasy Exhibit at the Geffen, I’m so looking forward to the next cool exhibit to visit. This upcoming event at the Museum of Neon Art may just be IT! Sake tasting, hors d’oeuvres, and Asian American neon artists may be a hard thing to pass up.
Here’s the scoop [...]
February 28, National Pancake Day
I heard a radio ad today for IHOP’s National Pancake Day.
In the commercial, they said IHOP will be offering free pancakes to recognize the special day. The spot also mentioned that IHOP would be taking donations for First Book a non-profit that helps provide books for children of low-income families.
I decided to [...]
Baby Got Back: Heavy Noodling, Monterey Park
Noodles, like people, have their own diverse community of different makeups and textures. The pasta or noodle aisle at any market is a huge melting pot, really: there are egg ones, rice ones, wheat ones, short ones, long ones, hollow ones, twisty ones, skinny ones, fat ones. Fat ones.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for… Frozen Custard?
I was intrigued when I came upon Jacki Lyden’s review of frozen custard on NPR’s All Things Considered. I love custard but was skeptical of how it would be frozen. I’m a doof. Over the weekend, I discovered frozen custard, and it is just like ice cream except for the texture. [...]
Tender As Mother’s Love
Drive by JR’s Barbeque in Culver City and you will be assaulted with the delicious, smoky cloud billowing from the bright yellow building.
I recently read an article on my podcast that essentially demanded if a soul food restaurant didn’t greet you at the door, you should keep walking. JR’s greets you in the car [...]
