Starry Kitchen
“Thar she blows” kiddies - lemongrass chicken tacos w/ slightly crispied (which may not be a word, but it is now.. thank you) yellow corn tortillas. The sauces include everything in yesterday’s posting, and also included a new fan favorite (motivated PURELY from our neighbor Evan rambling on in his drunken state about how MUCH he loved this): the sweetly sour peanut sauce. Considering that we’re laying down the law (click HERE for a reminder of what seems to be our most popular post thus far), we stuck to our word that we would not formally survey. BUT, in a very informal and un-scientific survey of selectively hearing what I wanted to, using GQ to manipulate the emotions of unsuspecting new customers (“awwww, he’s so cute”) AND ignoring any criticism (of which there was none “says I”)- we had a 100% SUCCESS RATE!!! WOO HOO Honestly, this seemed to be a grandslam, and that adoration, love and appreciation ain’t such a bad feeling. We’re more than happy to receive more accolades, so keep ‘em coming. FYI - we actually even recorded some footage and will hopefully have an edited video of testimonials on YouTube for public consumption. That should be fun… I think. We’ll see. I want to put all sorts of cheesy fades and similar just to have fun with it. A couple of quick shout-outs (w00t w00t): First, to Anderson Le for being our front man all day and taking what I thought was “well tempered” direction and criticism in stride. Good on you chap…good on you! Tim Kwok & Maya Lim, also for helping us out, taking orders and being our on-site guerilla food footage filmmaker. I can’t wait to see the footage to find out if there’s any good blackmail material! Mwahahahahaha Minh & Khanh: SH-T, you guys have driven the FARTHEST to come try our food concept thus far (Orange County… WHOA). Was it worth it? I would like to think so, don’t you? (don’t answer that question unless you can answer in a haiku) The other short list of peeps that helped before include: 1st wk - no one (“sniff sniff” - I promised myself before that I was never going to cry); 2nd wk - Mehul Patel and Shermin (who had one of my favorite weddings of all time!); 3rd wk - Mr. POTAK LAM (I’m hitting a creative wall right now, but keep on truckin’ Chinese Bostonian Cowboy!) Of course, ALL of our faithful customers in IMPERIA (imagine that being said like a ganstA’) ANNOUNCEMENT - we’re going to expand our “service” and serve from our apartment this Wed (June 10th) night from 6p - 9p (or earlier if we run out beforehand). The dish du jour this week will be a REPEAT. Here’s the flyer from a couple of weeks ago: From Blog PicsTrust us, this one’s good enough to re-visit. ^_^ Hint for next weeks dish??? We’re not sure how people are responding to the FACT that we aren’t telling people ahead of time what we’re serving (but ain’t that part of the fun), but I believe “ignorance is bliss” and will assume you LOVE IT! Soooooo, I’m taking up the difficulty up a couple of notches, but I suspect bringing it down a LOT tomorrow because I don’t know if I can keep up the difficulty… and you might stone me next time you see me and I don’t like stones!!! ^_^ This hint has to do with our friend Eddie Gilbert, who we mentioned is on the new TV reality competish (for those in the industry, how do you like that “lingo” I’m using, it makes me sound COOL right?!?!?!), The Next Food Network Star. Thankfully he didn’t get voted off tonight, so we can continue rooting for him and using him as our semi-celeb friend who, as of this posting, has an unintentional hint burried in his blog FOODS4DUDES. That’s it chockos! Alrighty suckas - play with that and we’ll post up some pics from the event and maybe some video tomorrow. Until then: div#main{overflow:visible;} TEAM STARRY KITCHEN PS - assuming that we have more than one reader. Quick note: these shennanigans regarding Euna Lee and Laura Ling is F’ING BS! With that said, diplomacy is key because those North Koreans are crazier than…well, EVERYONE! Click HERE for more on the case. We went to the vigil last week in Santa Monica, and it’s simply heartbreaking. Get ready to rally behind something, I’m not sure what, but something positive to keep this movement going to get those ladies back home.
