(Re: Yesterday’s post titled “The Three Year Old Dinner Party Meme”) I kept reading your headline in my feed reader as a dinner party for three year olds. And at first I thought, three year olds? Who wants them over for dinner? But then I realized that since we were talking about bloggers, the kids might be

Many of you ask me about my religion, wondering if I truly adhere to the belief in an all powerful, all-knowing God. Here’s what I think: None of us can truly know if God exists, but anyone who admires nature, must see that there is a Grand Organizer serving as the CEO of the Universe.

The year, 2010, started out promising, like the Goodyear blimp rising over the city, a whirring airship ascending slowly and elegantly, graceful in appearance, like a modern dancer. “Happy New Year,” I screamed at midnight on December 31, drunk on champagne at the party at Joyce’s apartment on the Upper East Side.

This past week I made it over to Henderson, Nevada and took a tour of Zappos Headquarters. I went with all the folks in the startup I’m working for, just because we thought it would be fun and we liked their approach to business.

Last March, while standing in line to check out the Dim Sum Truck , I struck up a conversation with Mong Skillman, Owner of the Mandoline Grill Food Truck . New on the scene, her truck had only been around for a few weeks at the time. We had a really nice conversation and in the midst of it, I asked if she’d be willing to do a tasting for my dining group.

Last month, I was invited by Stefani Roberts from Bread and Butter PR to a Pre-Grand Opening Party of one of their clients, Mendocino Farms , at their new location in Marina del Rey. Although their 2 downtown locations are actually closer to me, one is only open for lunch and the other just serves dinner until 7:15.
Awhile back, I was contacted by CSN Stores to do either a product review or a product giveaway. If you’ve never heard of CSN Stores, it’s basically a website where you have access to 200+ sites that offer a large selection of home and office goods, from TV stands to bedding to co okware to diaper bags and more! Leading brands on CSN Stores’ sites include: La-Z-Boy, Herman Miller, iittala, Kartell, LG, Rachael Ray, Sanyo, Diaper Dude and many, many others. Click here to visit the CSN Stores to learn more! After some consideration, which took me all of 1 minute, I decided to do a giveaway and with summer coming and ice cream being one of my favorite desserts, why not a giveaway for a Cuisinart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream and Sorbet Maker and a Deni Electric Ice Scream Scoop

I just came across some really exciting material this weekend. Apparently the biggest “school” in the world right now is run and taught by one person. I put school in quotes because it’s not a school in the traditional sense – it is just one guy who started making tutoring videos for his cousins on YouTube.

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.

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.

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
