you've been hearing about those Korean taco trucks that people are twittering all about and obsessing over, right? From the reports in the L.A. Times to the gastro underworld of Koreatown, this delicious combination of cheap marinated pork on a corn tortilla has given life and lust to this city, eclipsing that Pinkberry bullshit of happier economic times. Forget about paying $5 for some fro yo in a Phillipe Stark knock off den when you can spend your whole evening standing outside various undisclosed parking lot locations for hours on end to get your hands on this true Angelino bargain delight!
and w/ the money saved you can now afford a painting of one of these glorious vessels.

onto other culinary news, Eat a Pita on Fairfax bit the dust yesterday. Bulldozed to the ground liked a smooshed fallafel. Hopefully something good will be erected in its place. The 'streetwear' capitol of the world needs to eat!
and my new and improved workspace....
