Summer, Summer, Summertime!

Need to get away but can’t leave the city? Well now you can do both. Cool idea and execution of a modern take on the picnic basket. Head over to Boxsal to check these out. They’re only $25 and will probably get you the panties on that first date your stressing about planning.

Boxsal

Chips y Salsa

Father Greg Boyle founded Homeboy Industries in 1988 to help at-risk youths in the Los Angeles community. What started as a youth program that helped place former gang members into the work force blossomed into a business venture in 1992 with Homeboy Bakery. At the beginning of this year the company branched out [...]

The Crazy Chicken

At lunch today I hit up the local El Pollo Loco near my work. Fantastic Burrito and fries, yeah fries. But I do have to say that I hate when a company has the policy of getting your name when you order, a la Starbucks et al. With the fantastic name of Guy I know [...]

Dinner And A Movie

I was out on the westside of town tonight to catch Theodore Melfi’s new short film Roshambo. It’s a very funny tale that revolves around the oft over looked game rock, paper, scissors.

After that we cruised over to Paco’s Tacos on Centinela to eat. Get some.

Are You Ready For Some Football

The best part of Super Sunday was the homemade chicken and waffles. I was fading in and out of my food coma for the whole second half.

Saturday Shmaturday

I headed out to MB2 Raceway for some indoor go karting today. Insanity ensued. I did one 14 lap race and finished 2nd out of 10. If you have a free weekend I definitely recommend going and getting your shake and bake on.

After the race we headed to Tere’s Mexican Grill on Melrose and had [...]

I’m Talking All The Way Back

Was at my local Ralph’s grocery store re-upping on Chewy Bars and I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this in the soda aisle. Throwback Mountain Dew made with real sugar. I can’t get enough Dew in my life, or Amp, so this was quite the find. Pepsi should make this product available [...]

The Man Who Walked Around The World

Now this is an ad. Check out Johnnie Walker’s epic 6 minute spot detailing the history of the man and brand. I guess I’ll add it to the list for the next grocery store run.

1/4 Chix With 2 Waffles

Hit up Roscoe’s on Lake today. There’s something about dippin’ chicken in syrup that just feels (and tastes) right.

El Compadre

Went dolo to my favorite restaurant for lunch today, El Compadre. You can catch me here at least once a week. One fish taco one shrimp taco a la carte please.
