What We're Talking About This Week

Brad Pitt in Fight Club

This is an AMAZING weekend for one of our favorite recurring LA events, Cinespia.  This weekend's outdoor movie screenings in Hollywood Forever are Grindhouse on Friday and Fight Club on Saturday. 

San Francisco's Chinatown has had a varied history since its inception in 1848, and has been hugely influential on Chinese food in America.  We look forward to exploring it more through the regional dishes on this list.

 Starbucks bought local San Francisco bakery chain La Boulange in 2012 to get their French pastry recipes into Starbucks stores nationwide.  Now the coffee company is systematically closing La Boulange locations, breaking the hearts of many Bay Areans. 

Apple made their big new product announcements this week, and while we can't wait for the taco emoji and rose gold iPhone, nothing got as as excited as the Hermès Apple watch.  It's going right to the top of our Christmas wishlist...

Dungeness crab season has begun!

For many people Labor Day signifies the end of summer, but here in California it's just a long weekend - we'll be enjoying warm weather well into October.  However, we are looking forward to the new batch of fresh ingredients that are in season this month.
