Because I’m from LA, I get the question all the time, “I’m going to LA this week, what Korean restaurants do you recommend?” I’ve had some in an email that I usually respond to, but it’s migrated it’s way to my Evernote and now, I’m making it public on my blog so that I can just refer people to this link.

1. I woke up in the morning to about 5-6 inches of snow (in Dallas, in March, on the first day of spring!). We had a white Christmas this year and now a white birthday! Hoping that I don’t get any white hairs though.
