A Tale Of Three Sausages from Grindhaus LA

Sausage is the new black here in Los Angeles, with restaurants such as Wurstkuche and Berlin Currywurst drawing crowds (rightfully so). Joining in the fun is Grindhaus, a specialty sausage shop that opened up a few months ago in Hollywood. They don’t cook sausage, but they sell it, and after having sampled some of their …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Farewell To Oprah Potluck Edition

In case you didn’t hear, Oprah aired her final show yesterday, and in honor of this momentous occasion, some of my friends and I decided to celebrate her twenty-five years of TV glory by cooking up a Harpo-themed potluck. The rules were simple: just bring something inspired by Oprah. It could be one of her …

Introducing The Coolest T-Shirt Ever (If I Do Say So Myself)

IndianJones with our custom t-shirts. Once a year, the fine (and entirely way too cold and rainy) city of San Francisco hosts a race called Bay To Breakers, wherein several people run across the city… and everyone else dresses up in costumes and drinks their asses off. I’d heard from my friend IndianJones that it …

Inside the Painted Nail Spring Launch Party

A few nights ago, my friend Katie had a party to celebrate the launch of her new Painted Nail products, and so my crew (IndianJones and Phamtastic) and I all trekked on over to see what the hullaballoo was about. Here’s the thing: when Katie throws a party, you go. Last time I dropped by …

QUICK HIT: Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen Are Building A Massive Mansion

Tom and Gisele are building a new house, and it is huge. Perhaps too huge? That’s okay though. The QB deserves some luxurious indulgences after having suffered two enormous chokes at the hands of New York teams. And while he’ll never be as great as he once was, at least Tom has this sweet pad …

THE QUAFF: The Mysterious Stranger

Some things look beautiful but taste average. Some things look nasty but taste really good. And some things look bad and taste worse. When my friend IndianJones and I endeavored to make The Mysterious Stranger cocktail from Paul Abercrombie’s Organic, Shaken & Stirred cocktail book, we had some serious fears that the cocktail would fall …

SURVIVOR PHOTOCAP: Hunting Down Innocent Prey

It’s only the second episode of Survivor: Redemption Island, but damn this season is white hot. Unlike Nicaragua, these players are ready to play, and in just two shows, we’ve seen scheming, blindsides, and blowups. It feels like we’ve already spent five weeks with these people; although, admittedly, there are about eight nameless faces wandering …

Currywurst Arrives In Los Angeles!

When I went to Germany three and a half years ago with my friends jash and m_ruv, I returned with an undying love for currywurst, a local street food in Berlin that combines sausage and curried ketchup. Some vendors sell it with bratwurst, others with bockwurst, and quite frankly there are many heated arguments (according …

MTV Shows The Situation Doing Coke, Allegedly

We got a situation here. During last week’s episode of Jersey Shore, roving cameras caught Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino snorting what appeared to be coke off his gold crucifix. Either that or he truly enjoys smelling Jesus. Fork Party, who first noticed the peculiar sniffing, states that “Radar Online knows the identity of the Jersey …
