Keep Calm Wash Your Hands Poster

On a scale of 1 to 10, from mildly concerned to super paranoid, how worried are you about Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

However, now that there are 6 cases in LA County, I would say that I’m slightly worried at about a 5 or 6. There’s a fine line between being careful and letting … [Read more...]

Gus's BBQ - Restaurant

Earlier this month, Gus’s Barbecue opened a new location in the San Fernando Valley. Up until now, I had not been familiar with Gus’s Barbecue, but I quickly learned that the original South Pasadena restaurant has a big following!

The restaurant is in a new shopping center called The Vineyards at Porter Ranch, located between Whole Foods and a Nordstrom … [Read more...]
