Not as Lost in Translation as I had Planned for.
What’s happening fam squad. I’m in Seoul, currently on an inspiration trip with Samsung. It’s a pretty rad city, and they’re doing a sick job of showing me around. I’m also not nearly as confused and lost as I assumed I would be. Billy Murray you really scared the shit out of me in that movie. WHAT FINE TRAINING SIR. It is hard to review things though, bc most of the restaurants I go to’s names are written in shapes and lines. But I did go to a new spot with a name I could read called Bover Lounge. It’s really modern and rad. The food is presented in a super Asian way (a good thing) and is all mega delicious. The walls are a really chic grey with gold trim. My friend was siting against that wall during lunch wearing a grey sweater and gold glasses. I took a photo of him. It looks great.
Bover Lounge
Tip: food is great. Can’t go wrong with the korean styled or american styled dishes.
Tip: Everything is served with a twist, but in a good way. Not the gross way.

Really Really High Con Edison Bill’s
Yesterday I was sitting at LA Mill in silverlake and I noticed something strange as I walked in. I quickly realized its that the really super mega effected people were out. Those Silver Lake “cool” people. Big hats in full effect. Huge beards. Elijah wood. I then got email reminding me that My Con Edison bill was almost $400 dollars this month which was cool and I had to go to dinner in El Segundo that night, which I don’t really know how to get to. I also Uber everywhere, and they changed their logo with a new welcome screen that makes me nauseous. I’m sure an Uber from Silver Lake to El Segundo during rush hour will be a solid $200 euros. Yes the denomination I now references is exclusively euros and pounds because it’s classy to deal in cool foreign metrics like meters and use your passport as your only form of identification like I do. Partially because my license is suspended. I know I didn’t really tell you much about anything but the point of this whole thing is to tell you that El Segundo is further than I initially thought but don’t regret having a fire meal at Sausal. Next time you’re near the airport you should totes get lit up on specialty margaritas and well made tortillas from Sausal.

Tip: Everything is legit amazing. Can’t go wrong with any items

Addicted to Frozen Dumplings
Do you like cocktails? Do you like music? This is going to be a really cool moment for you then. Patina Group, which for everyone that has no clue what that means, is catering the Grammys this year. To celebrate this, they’re curating some sick musically inspired cocktails available at a few of their restaurants (Nick & Stef’s Steakhouse, Ray’s & Stark Bar, Café Pinot, Pinot Grill, and Kendall’s Brasserie & Bar) from NOW until Grammy night. This reminds me how much I miss celebrating things. I feel like when you’re a kid, you have a major celebration on the reg. Dude, whenever I even had to go to the dr for a physical I got mad presents and a cool dinner. Yes, my parents had no choice bc the thought of going to the dr threw me into an emotional spiral. Literally weeks of turmoil. I think I’m going to have a wild celebration tonight. Ok so if you know where I live, come over tonight and bring food, entertainment, and something to drink for yourself. I’m going to be laying down on the couch while I defrost a few bags of trader joes frozen dumplings. They’re really addictive.
Some info belowwwwwww 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
She’ll Be the Death of Me
Vodka, Ancho Reyes Chile Liquor, Honey, Lemon, Mint
Inspired by “Can’t Feel My Face”
From Evan: “I wanted something with some heat that could hit you on your front palate, but dissipate via a well-crafted balanced cocktail. To achieve this, I used Ancho Reyes Chile Liquor along with some simple and lemon to balance out the drink, and some mint to cool your palate and to achieve a clean finish. It certainly matches the song very well, if you catch my drift.”
· Drunk on Jealousy
Rye, Blackberries, Lemon, Honey
Inspired by “Blank Space”
A twist on a Whiskey Smash with lemon and blackberries. “I wanted a drink with a lot of depth, both in body (via the balance of Rye Whiskey, lemon, and honey) and color (via the blackberries that gives a great dark hue) to match the themes of the song.”
· All The Love
Mezcal, Aperol, Lime, Bitters
Inspired by “Really Love”
The drink is a variation of the whiskey-based “The Paper Plane” (which itself is a variation on the classic The Last Word). Inspiration came from the opening of the song, which is in Spanish. “I immediately wanted an agave-based drink and to both honor the drink it is based on as well as the quality of the record, I decided to use the smoky agave spirit, Mezcal.”
· Say It Loud
Rum, Lemon, Simple, Strawberry, Basil, Sparkling Wine
Inspired by “Think Out Loud”
This is variation on a Rum Smash with basil, strawberry, and a little simple syrup added for balance. “I wanted to create a cocktail that had a nice red color (after all it is a love song).”
· Gon’ Give It to You
Gin, Lemon, Apple, Ginger, Soda
Inspired by “Uptown Funk”
This is a riff on the classic Gin Fizz. “I added some apple for body and, to honor the essence of the record, used ginger syrup for a little bit of a kick.”
