Stand by Me

Stand by Me A classic coming of age film set in the 1950s about a group of friends setting out on a quest, and finding a hell of a lot more about themselves than they expected to. Fantastic storytelling and acting by the late River Phoenix and cast. Set & filmed in Oregon.

The Best Thing I Ever Done

The Best Thing I Ever Done HQ from Margaret Emily MacKenzie on Vimeo.

We did a post about one of our favorite pizza places awhile back. Now check out this short documentary The Best Thing I Ever Done to get to know the "Godfather of Brooklyn Pizza." He works morning til night seven days a week year-round, so this might be one of the few chances you get to hear his story from his own mouth. The amount of dedication, care, and love he puts into every single pizza he makes is unmatchable. Everyone should have the Di Fara experience at least once in their life - waiting, lines, and all - it's the rare moment when you see New Yorkers slow down a bit and be patient in his presence. This doc about the dom is part of the Brooklyn Film Festival, which just kicked off.

Weekend Puzzle - 75 bands

Do you remember this from way back when? I'm sure many of you had this - The Virgin Digital Find the 75 Bands - forwarded to your email. At the time it pretty much killed my entire day of work productivity; ironically it had been emailed to me by my boss.

Can you still find the bands (before looking up the answers from others?). Some have been able to find more than 75, by the way.

South African Township Barbershops & Salons

South African Township Barbershops & Salons is a compilation of photographs documenting the thriving grooming industry in communities once designated for black occupation by apartheid legislation. As the cultural and social hubs of South Africa's townships, these "informal barbershops" and salons serve not only as places to get your hair styled but as places to come together as a community. In this book, UK-based Simon Weller presents his vivid photographs of these shops and the tradition of sign painting, alongside interviews with the proprietors, customers and the sign makers. Weller - with help from revered South African designer and book contributor Garth Walker - shows the effort put into personalizing salons, from the homemade graphics to a signature style of cut.

San Francisco Chronicle ~ Pocket Square

Aaron Britt of the SFGate and Dwell Magazine just gave Grant's Golden Brand Pomade a great nod: "My best find, however, was not for the face but for the hair: Grant's Golden Brand Pomade has a gentle almond scent, splendid hold and can be worked and reworked over the course of the day. I found it easier to style with my hands than with a comb."

Read the full SFGate article on mens' grooming products here. Thanks to Aaron Britt, SFGate, and our friends at The Common, where you can find our fine pomade.

Kogi Korean BBQ Taco Truck

not your typical taco truck. the short rib taco. a messy-masterpiece.

the calamari taco with a nice-spice kick.

stay up & stay golden

We've been wanting to try Kogi Korean BBQ Truck for years. We love tacos, love both Korean and Mexican food, and also wanted to see if the food actually lived up to the Kogi mania. So when we were in L.A. last week, this was one of the first places on our list to check out.  Before we talk about the food, we want to start off by saying it's really important to see their twitter updates in addition to the schedule on their website. When we didn't see their truck parked at the location/time they said they'd be at, we started to drive away, but a last minute twitter check on our phone showed they were running about 40 minutes late, so we turned back around and there they finally were. We were especially happy that we were one of the first customers, which meant no insane lines.

We did 3 tacos + 1 drink combo for $7 and got the short rib tacos. We're happy to report that these tacos are indeed worth the chasing around. The short rib (Kalbi) tacos were phenomenal. They didn't skimp on the meat, which was tender and moist, and the vegetables were surprisingly fresh. But really it's all about their sauce: vinegary, sweet and spicy goodness. This sauce will be all over your hands, arms, and face, but that's not such a bad thing. Although not as good as the short rib tacos, the calamari was also very tender, served with a much punchier sauce.

They also have sliders, burritos, and desserts like a Sriracha Bar on their menu. If you're in L.A., go find them. You won't be disappointed.

Zucco Tiny, unpretentious French diner in the heart of the Lower East Side. Quirky owner, good music, hardworking kitchen staff working in a "kitchen" the size of a closet, and most importantly good food.
