INTRODUCING…our new tofu taco!

By alice | Published: August 26, 2009
Okay dudes — in the beginning there was the tofu taco.  For an omnivorous creature such as myseLf, I wasn’t its biggest fan.  When it came to choosing between vaniLLa-white cubes of curdLed soybeans and juicy, marinated cuts of griLLed shortrib, the meat aLways won hands-down, no contest. UNTIL NOW. At the behest for some [...]

Mmmm… Book Soup… ::drooLs::

By alice | Published: August 15, 2009
Much like Stone Soup, Book Soup is something that’s best enjoyed w/ the imagination and company of others. WHAT IS IT?!  It is a massive, shameLess orgy of books and book swappage!  Look, if you’re too broke to pay 8.99 for that book you’ve been eyeing at Crown Books (are they any Crown Books left???)

Tacos

By Eric Shin | Published: August 9, 2009
The "holy moly! what the hell did I just eat?" sensation. These bad boys started it all. Call it fusion, call it "L-effen-A", call it whatever. These suckers are delicious and are the reason why people keep coming back. All we do is take the flavors of Korean barbeque and mix it up with the flavor of our esses, and there you have our Korean taco. We don't care about what anyone else says, be it Time Magazine or an army of Tweeters praising us. Screw the hype, take a bite and let your taste buds decide.
