    NBA 2016-2017 Season Thread

    As a former Laker fan, let me just say I am so relieved they dumped Pau Gasol. Clearly the guy was well past his prime and could no longer play alongside the likes of Roy Hibbert and Robert Sacre.

    Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

    i remember hearing about this as well. and it's important to remember that furniture goes through fashionable periods. nakashima was NEVER inexpensive, but at one point it was upper-middle-class affordable. sadly, those days are long gone.

    Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

    late to the Nakashima thread, but an exhibition of his work at the Japan America museum in LA about 10 years ago is still one of the high points in my art appreciation. it's hard to explain, and you don't really get it from photos, but there is a rhythm and a purity to his pieces. it's the kind...

     it was 90 degrees at 11 p.m. and 80 degrees at 7:30 a.m. With about 80% humidity. Thanks Obama!

     it's probably like when my daughter was a toddler and we'd leave really big tips to apologize for the mess she made under the table.

    The Official Los Angeles Shopping + Dining Thread

     i agree. and generally, servers don't notice the difference between "A" tips and "A-minus" (or B-plus or even B-minus) tips. They only notice the extremes. if you're really generous or if you're a real asshole. furthermore, the work that has been done academically on this has found that tips...

    By the way, if anyone is planning on going to our The Taste event at Paramount Studios, come on by. I'll be circulating. But I'll only be there tonight for the opener and tomorrow morning for the Field to Fork event I'm hosting.

     there is and this will probably only increase. this one has a sound explanation: when the city of los angeles raised the minimum wage to $15, it affected all restaurant workers, tipped or not. In most states, there is a separate minimum wage for tipped employees, to reflect the amount of...

     no disagreement from me. i know those folks and like most of them, but as often as i asked them for a better explanation, they kept falling back on the party line. it was a mistake and i don't blame anyone for being pissed about it. i was just commenting on the notion that restaurant owners...

    as someone who has ridden public transportation in la for the last 20 years (blue line from long beach to DTLA FTW!), i'd say that it's a lot better than it used to be. but it still works best in narrow corridors and those corridors don't really reach the beach or the mountains. on the other...

    The Official Los Angeles Shopping + Dining Thread

     i agree that the matter could have been handled better. but i do think it's important to remember that restaurants -- particularly fine dining restaurants -- are fairly thin margin businesses. i believe the industry standard is something like 4%. certainly there are places that do better...

    Random Food Questions Thread

     are you an engineer? not being snarky. it's just that you're asking for an objective basis to explain a subjective analysis. good food is an emotional response, totally irrational. you can look at books to direct you to places that others agree are good (much better than yelp, imho). you...

     as in all things, taste is something you acquire only by experience, not by book study. eat, pay attention. that's basically it.

     not meaningless, but only coincidentally related to quality, if ever. they're for people who are concerned about how their food is raised.
