‘father’s office’

Electing to Eat at Lukshon

February 2nd, 2012 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Delukshus!

A while back, Sang Yoon opened up a place called Lukshon in Culver City.  For some, this was a time to rejoice, as this was the man behind the Father’s Office burger.  But for me, it was a time to…well…consider trying out Lukshon.  You see, if you know me, you know my disdain for the Father’s Office burger.  So it took until dineLA’s Restaurant Week to get me out to Lukshon.  I went with a sizable crowd, collectively known as the Suppah Club, and we had ourselves a seat at a massive table on Lukshon’s patio in Culver City.

Hinano Cafe: The Diviest Cafe of Them All

January 17th, 2012 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Which came first?

Ever walk into a “pizza parlor” that actually functions as more of a full-on Italian restaurant?  Or how about a “Japanese place” that only serves sushi?  We are constantly being misled into restaurants that either offer a lot more than expected or a lot less.  And then there is Hinano Cafe in Venice, which only a crackhead would consider to be a cafe.  You see, Hinano is pretty much the definition of a dive bar.  Sawdust coats the floor, there are maybe five real tables and the two guys behind the bar take turns dishing out beer or flipping burgers on the lone griddle in the middle of the bar.

Keeping it Simple at The Foundry

July 26th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

This stuff comes with the food.

I’ve been meaning to head to The Foundry on Melrose for a while.  Not only have I heard good things about the food in general, but I also heard that once upon a time The Foundry challenged Father’s Office to a burger taste test.  I’m not sure who ended up winning that particular taste test, but I was happy to know that someone had the balls to challenge the pretentious Father’s Office.  Finally, a 30% coupon from Blackboard Eats pushed me over the edge to finally visit The Foundry.

An Amusingly Tasty Burger at Beechwood

February 12th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Thank you for being tasty.

Heading into Beechwood, I was feeling a bit skeptical.  Bars in Venice can tend to be a bit trendy, especially the food-serving kind.  Once inside, part of my skepticism was confirmed, with strangely shaped lounge seats and a half hour wait even though we had reservations.  Oh well, at least they had a pretty sweet beer menu so I could have a little something to drink while waiting.  They had a pretty cool-looking wheat beer called Moosbacher from Germany.  Since I like moose and wheat, I figured these would outweigh my distaste for Germany, and I was right.  It was quite good and came in a huge bottle.

UNVEGAN FANS: HELP STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT DELICIOUS FOOD!

Future Foodies!

HYPE is a non-profit organization that works directly with low-income middle schoolers and their teachers to provide students with the guidance and resources needed to qualify for admission and succeed at top private schools in the Los Angeles area. We provide our students with engaging and unfamiliar experiences to broaden their horizons. A large part of building this cultural capital is by having our students try a wide variety of new foods. This pushes our students outside of their comfort zones and encourages them to take risks in a fun (and tasty!) way. Last summer, our students tried Ethiopian food, sushi, Korean BBQ, deli, and schwarma, just to provide some examples.

We want your help, Unvegan fans, to increase our students’ knowledge about the world around them by enhancing their culinary experiences. We greatly appreciate your support to provide a meal to our group of 15. With your donation, you will be opening delicious doors for an amazing group of students! Please click on the link below to contribute to your favorite cuisine to a great group of kids!
