The Park’s Finest BBQ Lives Up to its Name!

This past summer, I’ve had my share of BBQ from Bludso’s BBQ to Big Mista’s BBQ to Porky’s BBQ and much more, so based on all these tastings, I can say without bias that my favorite BBQ comes from The Park’s Finest BBQ . What’s even better is that TPFB is owned by Johneric Concordia, whose BBQ and BBQ sauce is based on flavors from the Philippines, where I’m from.

Seafood Feast at Bultaneun Cheongdamdong Jogae Gui

One of the things I enjoy about dining at Korean restaurants is that some of them offer tableside cooking where you either cook it yourself as in Korean BBQ or they’ll cook it for you as in Octopus Fried Rice or Spicy Crab Soup . So after reading an LA Times article about a Koreatown restaurant that specializes in a multi-course tableside prepared seafood meal, I knew that this was one place I had to visit and soon. The name of the restaurant is Bultaneun Cheongdamdong Jogae Gui, which translates to Flaming Clam Grill of Cheongdamdong and it’s in the Chapman Market Complex.

Why should you use a travel agent?

This is from our FAQ page on our website : Why should I use a travel agent, rather than planning my trip online? Planning a trip can be confusing and time consuming. A travel agent has the knowledge and experience to ensure every aspect of your planning is smooth.  This means saving you money on transportation with early booking discounts or special fares, booking hotels and resorts that are well-suited to your needs, and notifying you of any travel advisories that you should know about

LA Cupcake Tour Powered by Chevy

When I got an email from Tara of When Tara Met Blog inviting me to join her LA Cupcake Meetup Group for a tour of 4 cupcake shops in LA, I was pretty stoked. When I learned that we would also be chauffeured in a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox and 2010 Chevrolet Camaro convoy courtesy of Chevrolet and @BestOfTours , how in the heck could I say no to that? On the day of the actual tour, there were gray skies and imminent rain, but I wasn’t going to be deterred by a little bit of water

Explanation and clarification on ZA002′s landing gear

As you may have noticed, ZA002 touched down at Boeing Field with its landing gears doors open instead of stowed as we saw on ZA001 last Tuesday. The reason for the open position at the time of landing had to do with the resolution Neville and Carriker used to fully straighten a component of the nose landing gear
