Golden Road to Unlimited Libation

February 29th, 2012 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

I'm all knotted up about this.

First off, no, there is no such thing as unlimited libation at Golden Road Brewing. But I just couldn’t resist making the painfully obvious Grateful Dead reference. Especially because there was nothing at all Grateful Dead about the brewery. As one of the few microbreweries in LA, Golden Road resides in a sketchy part of Glendale and is kind of personifies a blend of collar and hipster, at least in decor and and architecture. The food menu tries to bridge that gap as well, but leans heavier on the latter than the former, with a frightening number of vegan menu items and a couple of sandwiches to scare any blue collar visitors back to the smelting plant.

Jimmy’s Super Lunch to the Rescue

Free Meat Alert: Dinah’s Fried Chicken

August 18th, 2009 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Dinah’s Fried Chicken in Glendale is offering some free chicken that is sure to please.  According to LAist, “Customers have their choice of a leg and thigh or breast and wing plus one side dish absolutely free.”  I guess they were just waiting for the Grilled Chicken War between KFC and El Pollo Loco to cool off.  Fortunately, this offer isn’t about supposedly “healthy” grilled chicken.

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!
