Star Wars Day 2014



Today is Star Wars Day!

May the Fourth
be with you...


I happened to be Downtown this weekend
 and stopped in at the Star Wars Legion
Stormtropper exhibit
at the Robert Vargas Gallery
in Downtown Los Angeles. 


If you don't know what an
Imperial Stormtrooper is,
here's the whole uniform.

This exhibit is mainly decorated 
Stormtrooper helments
from Disney, Pixar, ILM, and LucasFilm artists
and some celebrity fans from around the world.

Here are some of my food favorites
Tacos Imperial

Who doesn't like an intergalactic taco truck? 


KERNAL of the LEGION

I'm thinking Jiffy Pop.
Did I just show my age? 


Trooper Trooper with Cheese, Vaders Taters,
and an R2T2 Sweet Tea

Droid Style? 



Could this be trooper side up? 


Hard Boiled

My guess it's from Dark Side Farms

Love the Death Star yolk... 


Now for Dessert

 FANcy Cake

That would make a great cake



ICE CREAM! 



Now that's a cupcake!



One trooper scoop, please.


Here's some other favorites


Yellow Submarine 


 Cousteau Trooper


BLING! 



Trooper Terrarium 

Since I worked on The Rocketeer
while I was at Disney...


Spoiler Alert!

The Pink Stormtrooper
is actually
Hello Kitty!

I didn't know either...


Happy Star Wars Day!

This exhibit at the Robert Vargas Gallery
runs through May 4, 2014.

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i...

Coco Bread Sandwich with Jerk Chicken

Image
Who Doesn't Like Jerk Chicken??? OK, I'm Sure There Are Some, A Few, One, Maybe Two... This is Maybe My  Favorite  Sandwich! At least the one I think about when wanting  a great 'Sandwich'  comes to mind. Chef Yonette serves this sandwich as an every so often special at her restaurant, Caribbean Gourmet in San Gabriel, CA. The sandwich consists of Jerk Chicken and a Slaw for texture and balance on a house-made Coco Bread, a buttery soft circular flat bread (aka "Butter Flap" in Guyana) Like most awesome sandwiches, it's the bread that makes it great. As I pick-up my sandwich on Sandwich Saturday. Whenever I pick up pastries or patties from Caribbean Gourmet, it's very hard to make it home. Smelling the Jerk Chicken... See What Jay Eats... Yup, I caved and it didn't make it home... Follow Caribbean Gourmet's IG account and Stories for the next Jerk Chicken Sandwich Special Saturday. @caribbeangourmet On sandwich day, be sure to be there at Noon,...

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

Image
I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+. Little Tokyo Sushi at the Little Tokyo Market Place (former Mitsuwa Marketplace) 333 S. Alameda St #100 Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213) 617-0343 Niku (Beef) Udon...
