Dwell on Design: Kitchens



 A week after Father's Day in Los Angeles is
at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

It's
June 21 -23, 2013


Why am I interested in Design?
As a consultant and marketer,
I need to know what's coming soon and trending.
Otherwise, I think design is cool...


We knew we're in the right part of the convention center.


The West Hall was filled with everything from
floor tiles, sliding glass doors, solar panels, wall furnishings,
pre-fab homes, designer lighting, and fixtures 

To one of a kind wooden chairs.


But I was here to see the kitchens
and designer kitchen equipment.

The stuff I can't afford...


Here's some of my highlights:


Liebherr Refrigerator

Reminds me of industrial restaurant equipment


Miele USA
Ovens from Germany


Monogram Professional Range


Airstream kitchen
from Airstream Los Angeles

Not your father's Airstream


My Show Favorite

An outdoor
Gourmet Pizza Oven 
by Kalamazoo Outdoor 

Not only stylish, but functional as an
outdoor oven.


Cooking Competition
for food bloggers

It did smell really good...


My favorite refrigerator of the show
from Sub-Zero

Maybe it's the window and also
reminds me of restaurant equipment.

Not your father's tiki torch

See you next year...



So, what did Jay Eat today?
Carne Asada Taco
from the Car Wash across the street from LA Live
at Fernando's Taco Inn
815 W Olympic Blvd.


Even before STAPLES Center and LA Live,
I would have my car washed here so I could
have some tacos before my car was ready for pick up.
You can still watch the cars being washed through the window.

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

Image
I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+.

Recipe: Ahi Masago Poke - May 2012

Image
Where do you get good poke in Southern California? If there is a place, I haven't found it yet. I'm really picky when it comes to poke, so I make my own. Having competed in the Sam Choy Poke Festival on the Big Island in 2003, I got to try all kinds and some with imitation crab and tofu. But, I prefer the simple kine, like in my Ahi Poke recipe. Ahi Masago Poke This is my version of Alicia's Market "Wasabi Ahi Masago Poke" Alicia's Market is my first stop in Honolulu after I leave the airport. First Stop Honolulu: Alicia's Market Yellowfin Tuna I start with 1.5 lbs of chopped sashimi grade tuna My Ingredients Low Salt Soy Sauce White Sesame Oil I start with 4 TBS of soy sauce and 2 TBS of white sesame oil. As you mix in, the tuna will absorb the liquid, you can add more in later. Add in a sweet white onion and green onions The secret is washing the onions with water a
