K Town LA represent

I was watching Tv with my dad the other night and decided that it was the perfect thing to share with my blog readers. It is Anthony Bourdain's new Show on CNN. Anthony Bourdain is a renowned chef, bestselling author and Emmy winning TV host. His new show "Parts Unknown" is now on CNN in it's 1st season. In the 2nd show of the season Anthony visits Koreatown Los Angeles California. In this episode viewers like myself learn about what happened in Koreatown during the 1992 Rodney King riots (I was only 2 years old at the time, and lived close by to what was happening in LA), what its like to grow-up in a Korean family, what happens when you go from law school to being a restaurant owner as a son in a Korean family, the food truck fenzie in LA, what happens when you paint a mural for Facebook, what actually goes on inside Sizzler, whats up with Filipino fast-food, and the art of low-riders along with much more. This show is filmed in a creative light with some great photography and film work. Anthony and the people he meets are fascinating and funny. While watching the show my dad and I spent the whole time saying wow and laughing. It is for sure a different insider look at a part of LA many know nothing about. I loved getting the chance to learn about the experiences that others had during the LA riots and the good that came out of it for Koreatown, it was also wonderful to learn about the foods of other cultures (there was a lot of food in this show, "did I forget to mention that above" lots and lots of food, and lastly it was interesting to learn about the work (from food trucks to art) that Anthony's guests on the show worked hard on, as well as many other surprising find in Koreatown LA. Check out this link to read more about the episode, find the resturants that Anthony visited on the show, and so much more. http://www.cnn.com/video/shows/anthony-bourdain-parts-unknown/episode2

City Art

Inspired by the artists of Los Angeles one of my best friends and I have been taking pictures of local street art: stickers, signs, graffiti, and much more. We want to share the beauty and inspiration that can come from this art. It's not all about gangs and ugly messages: some of it is beautiful and we believe that it is a great way to share a message across a whole city: even a state, country, or the world.
