I Rock, You Roll

January 17, 2011 eating out

Somebody oughta commend Freebirds for their marketing skills. I fell for it, and I don’t even like burritos. But let’s backtrack a bit. The first time I heard about Freebirds was when I was walking to the bus station to travel downtown for an L.A. Times summer internship interview. There was a colorful, hippie van [...]

What A Little Birdie Taught Me

December 28, 2010 eating out

A bird flew into my room yesterday. I had left my door open, and when I got back from a shower, there was a bird flapping frantically around the room. “Arrgh!!” I shrieked in surprise, crashing back into the door. The bird went even crazier when it saw me, chirping and spiraling about like it’s [...]

Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: Korean Fusion Street Food BYOB

March 27, 2010 dinner event

After several consecutive sleepless nights and two exams in a single day, you’d think I deserve a rest. But no. I was walking a mile to Ralph’s, taking an hour’s metro ride to the Korean supermarket, then chopping, slicing, mashing, and mixing in the kitchen, all in preparation for my Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24 event.

Why Are We So Sensitive About Something We Poop Out?

March 6, 2010 blog awards
