The Jacks N Joe in Life

February 8, 2011 eating out

As a reporter, I have interviewed many “big” people out there. I’ve sat next to a Supreme Court justice (and his big bad bodyguard). I’ve shaken the hands of all the major characters of Greek. I’ve hugged a rising hip-hop rapper. I’ve been invited to the Police Chief’s Trojan-decorated office, got admonished by a city [...]

For you, my friend, I’m a Potato

January 6, 2011 guest post

November 13, 2010 blog meet-up

My brother got into a car accident yesterday. He is fine. The car, a brilliant second-hand Audi A4, is not. In fact, apparently it’s been damaged beyond repair. When I heard about this incident, I immediately felt incredibly sad for my brother. I knew how much he adored that car. He spent months researching on [...]

What’s Your Story? (Artisanal LA: Part I)

October 25, 2010 eating out

My favorite thing to write about isn’t food. Yes, food is great. I like making people drool. I like making people envision the sensual pleasure behind each graphic detail. But. There is only so much satisfaction gained from making people hungry. No, my favorite thing to write about is people. I love reading a good [...]
