Its rare that Ill find myself craving something a bit on the heavier side. One of my pet peeves is the doze that seems to happen after lunch around 2 pm. Thank god I havent had the pleasure of crashi...
For as long as I can remember, the Vietnamese sandwich known as banh mi, has been a part of my life. Even as a Chinese American, this stuff would always be around my family and friends. It was cheap,...
On Wednesday, J and I stopped by La Descargas 1st anniversary party and it was a full house. For those that havent been, rather than a cocktail bar, La Descarga promises an experience the second Char...
Yes.
The Echo Park I first stepped into during the 1980s was very different from what you see now. I remember sitting in my moms 2-door Toyota Corolla sans A/C (just to give you an old-school reference), ...
Last year was a great year for me and J. We traveled to Asia, Central America, Canada and Europe. We photographed some beautiful weddings and contributed some work to notable food and travel publicat...

About a year and a half ago, J and I fell in love with the cocktail scene in Los Angeles and Portland. We loved it so much we built our own bar. We removed dozens of books from the shelves and made r...
Thoughts on the new Sriracha cookbook? To be honest, its like selling a book called "Food You Can Add Hot Sauce To". I dont really know many things that would taste worse with the addition of...
When I was working in Culver City, there was a place that kept me alive and kicking for almost nothing. I wasnt making much and over the 3 years, I frequented a place called Tokyo 7-7, a tiny, divey ...

It was 1983 and I had just woken up from a long nap on the plane. My mom quickly tapped on my shoulder and pointed out the tiny window. I was groggy and disoriented from my first airplane flight (Pan...
"One mans junk is another mans treasure."By now in Los Angeles, its not uncommon to see the words pig ears, jowels or even trotters on the menu. With this current dining trend, its almost biz...
