Gujrati-Style Dim Sum at Rajdhani
Usually one doesn’t associate Dim Sum and Indian Food together; yet, at Rajdhani, there actually is a connection between these two thoughts, albeit in a round about way. Like Dim Sum, there are servers that dispense food from table to table, from patron to patron, plus it’s not going to cost you an arm and a leg to eat at Rajdhani.
For the longest time, my only experience with Burmese food was at the Golden Triangle Restaurant in Whittier . In fact, for the longest time, it was the only game in town when it came to Burmese food. Slowly, but surely, other players became as prominent and that included Yoma in Monterey Park, so one night, I set up an outing for my dining group to check it out.
On June 5 and June 6, one of LA’s premiere wine festivals will be in full swing at Raleigh Studios. With 130+ wineries, craft breweries, artisanal spirits producers along with food by top LA chefs, food trucks and some of LA’s best gourmet food shops, a good time will definitely be had by all.

John Warrillow sent me a copy of his book recently (one of the perks of having a business blog) and it was surprisingly good. The book is titled “ Built To Sell ” – which actually turned me off a bit at first. It reminded me of “Built To Last”, the famous business book by Jim Collins, except quick flips have a negative connotation to me.

Questa settimana è iniziata una nuova avventura alla Scuola Leonardo da Vinci di Milano. Alcuni studenti hanno registato un programma per la neonata Radio Leo. Ascoltateli e vi divertirete a scoprire ciò che hanno voluto presentarci dal loro Paese.
This entry is part 19 of 19 in the series UniversityTutor.com I was reading this presentation by the Dropbox.com Founder , Drew Houston, the other day and the most interesting part about it was that most of their marketing with Adwords and conventional approaches completely failed. Yet Dropbox has over 4 million users.
Chef Debbie Lee’s Seoul Town Tapas at Breadbar + GIVEAWAY
Congrats to Dina Leigh for Winning the $50 Gift Card to Seoul Town Tapas from the Breadbar! Ever since I saw Debbie Lee compete on the America’s Next Food Network Star Show , I was really interested in her cooking style that fused both her Korean and Southern background. Unfortunately, I had missed her first stint at BreadBar as a part of their Hatchi series, but I wasn’t about to miss her second one. This time, her second appearance was going to serve as an introduction to the type of food she plans to serve at her own restaurant opening later this year
New $40 Chef’s Tasting Menu at XIV by Michael Mina
Thanks to Rachel Krupa of Krupa Consulting, PR rep for XIV by Michael Mina , a guest and I were hosted by XIV to try out their New $40 6 Course Chef’s Tasting Menu and since a tasting menu is so much more fun with a group, a few of my dining club members attended as well. Our meal started with a dish that actually wasn’t part of the tasting menu. It was toasted pita bread with a dipping sauce made with feta and yogurt

I’m Willing to Drive for the Pork Ribs at Cambinos Asian BBQ
I first heard about Cambinos Asian BBQ when it showed up as an outing on my dining club’s calendar . Even though it was in OC, just the thought of Asian BBQ was enough to get me in my car for a drive beyond LA County boundaries, especially since I had such a wonderful experience with Park’s Finest BBQ . By the way, owner James Sar, is Cambodian, but named his restaurant Cambinos after his former Filipino-Cambodian basketball team that used to play around Orange County.
If the idea behind this Dunbar’s number is correct, what does this say about the way most of us deal with blogging, social media, community, social status, and online friendship? (via Wikipedia –) Dunbar’s number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships
Every year, on the day after my birthday, I like to take stock of my life to make sure that everything is running as smoothly as a Swiss watch. That’s why I made an appointment for this morning to see Doctor Teitelbaum, my family doctor. “How’s it going with you and Sophia?” he asked as he took
Last December, I was invited and hosted by Chef Amy Jurist, of Amy’s Culinary Adventures , to attend one of her decadent underground dinners. With the theme being “Cheese Please!” and with my love of cheese, this was one invitation that I definitely did not want to turn down.

For the past month, I’ve been hearing a slow buzz about a new hot dog joint called The Slaw Dogs . I finally decided to Google it and see what the fuss was about. When I read about the unique ingredients that made up their Specialty Slaw Dogs, I was intrigued and when I found out that The Slaw Dogs was in Pasadena, a mere 15-20 minutes away from me, my mind was made up.
