BYE BYE LEMONGRASS TOFU

That’s to the point, right?

Otherwise, read the previous post for other “goings-ons” in the SK Universe (or the Facebook Fan Page which has all the other fun stuff going on). Gotta go operate a restaurant now… WOO HOO ^_^

“If you leave.. don’t leave now.. please don’t take my” FOOD “away!”

Awww… OMD. If there’s a song I should be using for my cheesy going away videos (which I haven’t made in a while), it’s this one! It works really well considering we take ALL the dishes away at one point in time, right???

Man I LOVE you New Wave. You’re so DAMN good!

Hello… the SPICY (aka “Crack”) CRAB CAKES are back!

(no time like the present to jump into what we got back, right?)
And for those that are new to the SK fold: these are indeed made with IMITATION CRAB MEAT, but it’s actually flaky and not like that normal imitation tube crab meat we’re all used to gettin’ at that there local grocery store. :) SO if you have an aversion towards this stuff, you’ve been warned… suckas!!! LOL
Time’s awastin’, so I’m just going to jump into this (while still dreaming about that shaved ice/snow we got at CLASS 302 in Rowland Heights last night… G’DAMN it was awesome!!):
HI-HI:
You already know half of this list now..

SPICY “CRACK” CRAB CAKES

Btw, they’re topped w/ a Wasabi Mayo as demonstrated… here ^_^:


Shallot Fried Rice

I know, I know… some of you already miss the Spam (aka “non-vegetarian”) Fried Rice, but it will be back… oh YES! :)
BYE-BYE:

LEMONGRASS TOFU


And there you have it folks.. oh yeah, and if you didn’t know:

Spain won the World Cup
LeBron James is going to Miami
SK got an official A rating from the Health Dept last week (F’ YEAH! ^_^)

Them’s the updates, and them’s the rules!
Laters,

An A rating = FREE SOFT DRINKS today for lunchie munchies… YAY!
That pretty much sums it up.
Oh yeah…
DINNER THIS WK = 1 MORE CHANCE FOR TAIWANESE FRIED PORK CHOP
Oh yeah, since Din Dins (aka DINNER) is back on tonight (Thurs-Sat/6-9.30p), just an FYI that the fan favorite TAIWANESE FRIED PORK CHOP is available for public dinner consumption before it goes away for a couple of months!!

^_^
Did I ever mentioned I worked in independent film for a while? No, I didn’t? Well I did! Here’s a nice lil music video on a film I proudly worked on called WHITE ON RICE sung by our buddy Goh Nakamura (his singing is the DREAM-IEST!). Oh yeah, if you want you can actually check out the movie now in a ton of places on cable and/or VOD too ^_^:
(I can’t wait for more Chicken Wings tonight… damn those are my favorite things!!! ^_^)

Okay okay… so it’s the last (lunch wk) for the LEMONGRASS TOFU, Dinner (aka Din Dins) is back on tonight (Th-Sat/6-9.30p folks!), coming back w/ tasty companions BRAISED VIETNAMESE BEEF (aka BO KHO) and we’re bringing back the SK Mac+Cheese(+Bacon) with all it’s shitake mushroom, jalapeno, fried shallots and did I mention BACON goodness. Ya got that? I’m sure you do…

With that outta the way, you mighta noticed this large light blue pic above (thx for letting me steal it from your site Shawna.. please!?!?!).. that didn’t happen by accident (maybe). And if you didn’t know it, we’re one of the 60 BEST vendors attending this BADASS event. (and we might be at the bottom of the barrel, but being the worst of the best… is still one of the best.. right??? ^_^).
I’m sure you’re asking yourself, “Now that I’m bored, what kind of other nonsensical funny stuff can I find on YouTube since Team SK has nothing interesting to say.” But then you (pause) for a moment and I’m sure you THEN ask yourself:
“Why Team SK (who is o’ so wise and will never stop with the bloggin’ hilarity) should I go to this wonderous and magical event?”
Well fans (an average of 6.25 of ya out there now… YES!), here are a couple of my favorite reasons why:

we’re there (can I get a internet geek… w00t w00t!!)
it’s ALL-INCLUSIVE, so no more pesky fees once you get in (and pay for the tix online!)
we’re (as in the par-TAY) taking over the EFFIN ROSE BOWL BABEY!!! (yeah, we’re on the field!!!)
food, drink, ice cream, music and SK… what more could you want? (don’t answer that Chuck Norris… I’m warning you!!! ^_^)
and here’s my last reason for those of you that are craving, wanting or dying to have these…


Or in other words, “CRISPY F’ING TOFU BALLS my friends!”
We’re making 2,000+ of these crispy green bad boys (betta recognize ya’ll!), and if you ever wanted to gorge on a tofu ball as child or sometime in your very strange life span… now’s the TIME CHOCKOS! LOL
We’re not making these again at the restaurant until around September (maybe even OCTOBER), so if you want ‘em… come and GET ‘EM! (and enjoy the other food while at the fest too, and feel free to show the other vendors your SK love… please?!?!).
If you’re interested, get your tickets online HERE!
Unlike the last event (yeah, yeah… they and WE ALL know what “some” of the comments were from the last one), this is VERY limited too (let’s just say it’s a fraction of the reported 15-20k that went to the last one).
So what are you waiting for? No REALLY?!?! WHAT are you waiting for!!! Come get ‘em, eat some tofu balls, and let’s get SMASHED together (and by “SMASHED” I obviously mean let’s eat a lot of ICE CREAM, LOLLIPOPS…. and BOOZE it up together MWAHAHAHA… hey, it’s ALL-INCLUSIVE SUCKAS!!)
And if you don’t get your tickets soon (btw, NO DOOR SALES neither folks), THIS could happen to you:

That’s right, you could be like me there falling asleep (drunk I might add LOL) on the Metro (aka the train and/or subway) and have your friends take pictures of you while putting funny fake eye glasses on you for continued internet/Facebook hilarity. And we don’t want that to happen to you, right? ^_^
Good! I’m sure that convinced you now.. and thanks. ;)
Much love,

We Eat LA: A Nice Story 

WHOOPSIE, forgot to post today.. well thankfully one of first few to EVER blog about us re-discovered us.. in this lil humorous and somewhat “sweaty” anecdote.. and if you don’t like stories of sweaty starvation… I dunno what you’re doing here in the first place LOL (actually, I’m only half-joking ^_^)

Remember when I wrote about the couple serving food out of their North Hollywood apartment until they got shut down by the food narcs? No? Oh yeah, I forgot - there are only six and a half readers of this website. Sorry Benny, if you simultaneously masturbate to unicorn porn while…

This has nothing to do with food, being a foodie, restaurant or anything (but then again, most of my posts have very little do with that stuff too).  This is just plain hilarious:
CONGRATS SPAIN! (and sorry to the crying babies of Holland and Germany, but don’t worry, SK still loves ya LOL).

Ya know the great thing about a novel idea such as NEW WAVE WEDNESDAY, we can go on-and-on-and-on-and… well, you get the picture (at least I hope you do!)

Is there any other tie in to SK and the former New Wave craze yet? NAW, it’s just fun and I likes me some New Wave (and I’m gonna stick to my story that food just plain goes down better with a lil New wave in your life too ^_^).

WHERE’S THE FOOD… POOOOOOOORN!

Yeah foo’s, where is it? Oh yeah, this is addressed to US, RIGHT! Well, I broke (aka DROPPED) my trust Canon SD600 a lil while ago and alls I got is my blackberry and iPhone to work with (and yeah, running a restaurant can sometimes mean your too broke to buy a SWEET ASS S90), but they will come back soon… I promise!

Til then, let me tantalize you with an oldie but goodie of “something” that will be coming back to the menu VERY SOON… if you’re new, have fun searching for it. If you aren’t, you’ve now got your heads up:

Long live food p0rn (that’s so your web surfer-thingy doesn’t filter me out… I hope).

Much love,
