The art group Asco was like an errant comet that hit L.A. — a performance group that shaved their eyebrows, staged faux film stills and tagged LACMA. But disputes over attribution could affect how Asco’s work is displayed and its story ultimately told.

These '70s East L.A. Chicano artists are having a major revival — but infighting threatens their...

The ’70s art group Asco was obscure until a LACMA exhibition turned its members into art world darlings. Now, they are locked in a struggle over attribution.

A New Manifesto on Cinco de Mayo: Let Everyone Get Drunk ~ Then Start Reclaiming It ~ L.A. TACO

Replying to @longdrivesouth and @LATACO

We got the fake holiday while they kept Día del Niño from us

Reupping my

piece on releasing ourselves from the shackles of over-thinking Cinco de Mayo. It's an American-invented holiday and should be treated as such, plus, mexi-pop visibility! 🤠

Think of Cinco de Mayo as a holiday to Mexican resilience in the face of growing hate. So let them great their drink-o on, and lets start reclaiming it for ourselves.

Yes, there will be a Best #Sushi in LA list coming from critic Bill Addison soon. But before he did that, we wondered, Does he have to taste some good sushi in #Tokyo, in 2K23, to really know? ✈️ So he went. 🏆This essay is a master class

How two friends sparked L.A.’s sushi obsession — and changed the way America eats

An unlikely pair of Southern California businessmen paved the way for the sushi revolution in Los Angeles, upending American dining — and their own lives.

In 2015, I interviewed the man credited with bringing sushi to L.A. But all he wanted to talk about was the old friend who gave him the idea. They'd long since parted ways. What happened? Today we're finally sharing the story of the renegades of raw fish:

At Sakae, which opened in 1962, it feels like you’re in on a secret, writes LKP. Six items on menu. Boxed with string. To go only. This is what makes Los Angeles so wondrous, and opens our team project one of SoCal's absolute favorite foods — #sushi. 🍣

This South Bay sushi shop has been serving the same six items for decades — and wants to keep it...

Sakae Sushi has been making simple, homestyle sushi in Gardena since the 1960s. Every piece on the six-item menu is inexpensive and delicious.

I was in Taiwan recently and there's no tip or tax for restaurants. It was liberating in the sense that the price listed was always the price. Made things simple and less stressful. Once I got back in the US, I had to reprogram.

Barely anyone in the service industry is making a living wage. If you’re sick of tipping be mad at the owners and managers who don’t pay people enough. Otherwise, tipping is working class solidarity.

I shouldn’t be compelled to tip when I pick up my dry cleaning, a hot tea, or a turkey sandwich to go. I tried a new tree trimmer in Whittier recently & he asked for a tip. A one time service on a first meeting. Next thing I know I’ll be tipping the Urologist.

What TV shows will be affected during the writers strike?

Late-night shows will be the first to be affected by the strike, though it is still unclear how many productions will have to stop work.

Earlier today, 11,500 members of the Writers Guild of America went on strike. Without writers, scripted shows will struggle to keep filming & live late-night shows will stop immediately. Here’s what you should know about the WGA’s first strike in 15 years.

I do know there is a postcolonial revision of this story from the perspective of "the Arabs." And of course, film adaptations and the inspiring of a song by The Cure. Is the book a little racist at times? Sure. But being written in the 1940s, I wasn't expecting it to not be. 😩
