I saved up some food pictures. My only female cousin on my mother's side is married with a kid. Sophia is 1 years old. Sophia is half Japanese and half Korean.

I saved up some food pictures. My only female cousin on my mother’s side is married with a kid. Sophia is 1 years old. Sophia is half Japanese and half Korean. There’s two sides of the family, and although everyone’s cordial, no one really knows who the other folks are. Yet, everyone smiles at each other. I thought these candies were quite funny. I don’t think I’d dare eat these, ever, so I didn’t take one of these with me. Sometimes, simple family events are cool, especially when it makes everyone happy even for a while. Are these real m&ms? I have to figure out where to get these made. Tortilla Grill. It’s on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice. I don’t go there often, but when I do, it’s pretty good. That’s a chicken and fish taco. It’s Westside Mexican food, but it works well. This is a fish salad. It comes in a tostada bowl. This is real Mexican food, right? The bowl is better than the chips, which were stale. Underneath is black beans. Get the agua frescas if you check this place out. Sam Woo shrimp dumpling noodle. It’s simple and good. I think this works as comfort food. For those of you in Asia, don’t laugh at me, this is the best we can get.

In the end, everyone's a critic and everyone's a reviewer, even if they shouldn't be, right? The internet has created overnight food experts, movie critics, and whiners everywhere. Yet Yelp is handy, yet from my perspective, aside from the content issues of Yelp,...

A lot of folks like Yelp. As a user, it’s probably fun. You can read reviews, get previews, learn the inner secrets of places, and more. In the end, everyone’s a critic and everyone’s a reviewer, even if they shouldn’t be, right? The internet has created overnight food experts, movie critics, and whiners everywhere. Yet Yelp is handy, yet from my perspective, aside from the content issues of Yelp, it’s sales folks are annoying. It’s great they hustle, and I’m sure it’s commission based and we all need more money, but the repeated phone calls, shifty marketing words, and their persistence and a-hole style is just too much. So Yelp… although we thank you for the kind words, the hard sell is always a drag and it doesn’t stop. If it’s not one person, it’s another. If you ask them not to call, they’ll still call. Here’s another post I did a while ago about Yelp salesmanship. I hope posting this doesn’t give us more negative comments on yelp. Here’s our sites. You can’t but help read the negative comments!GRSF YelpGRLA YelpGR2 Yelpgr/eats YelpGR SilverlakeGRNY Yelp

In NYC, there's plenty of pulled noodle places, but unlike LA, which is heath department conscious with the infamous grades that can shut you down. NY doesn't have this, and I wonder if they even have a health department sometimes. However, if they did, you wouldn't have experiences like the one at Fuzhou pulled noodles. The guy above does this in the eating area. It's grand and cool. It even...
