Ktown Night Market Coming Easter Weekend 2014


One of my favorite things is going to one place and being able to try a lot of different kinds of food, kind of like a parking lot tasting menu.  One of the things that I love is the Night Market concept.  It's more of a relaxed market place where street food is featured.  And since I don't get to Asia much, I do enjoy the Night Markets in Southern California. 

The Inaugural KTown Night Market will be held this Friday and Saturday (4/18 & 4/19) at the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools.  If you're old skool like me, you know the property as the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Blvd.  If you're much older than me, you might remember the Cocoanut Grove, where the 1939 Academy Awards Ceremony was held...way way before my time.  On June 5, 1968, it was also the site of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination, which the community schools are named after.  Regardless of if you're a history buff or not, it's a historic site in Los Angeles.   Get directions HERE

One thing that I do know, the organizers of KTown Night Market have assembled an All Star  Food Line Up, including the Seoul Sausage Company (winner of Food TV's Great Food Truck Race - Season 3), Grill'Em All (winner of The Great Food Truck Race - Season 1), The Lime Truck, Cool Haus, and many other food trucks and food vendors.
Here's what I'm looking forward to...

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+. Little Tokyo Sushi at the Little Tokyo Market Place (former Mitsuwa Marketplace) 333 S. Alameda St #100 Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213) 617-0343 Niku (Beef) Udon  $5.00

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
