Snacktime: Bacon Bites
As you may know, I love bacon. Who doesn’t? So you could imagine my excitement and surprise when a relative returned with this from the Philippines. I was amazed at how much they taste like actual bacon. The chips themselves even have a texture similar to very crispy bacon. Unfortunately for all of us bacon lovers here in the states, this seems to be strictly an “International”...

Wahoo's
I got to try Wahoo’s for the first time during a recent trip to Cali. Their predominately Mexican menu is inspired by Brazilian and Asian flavors with a Hawaiian north-shore vibe. Everything I tried was good, and the prices weren’t too bad. I will definitely be back again.

OC Fair Recap
If you live anywhere in Southern California, chances are you’ve heard of the Orange County Fair. It’s been held every year since 1890. However, this year was my first time actually checking it out. If there’s anything that the fair is known for year after year, it’s the great variety of food. Some may think it’s physically impossible to try all the delicious food...

Sneak Peak: Jordan Brand September Release
Jordan Brand is set to release what looks to be a fusion of the Jordan XI low and the Air Max 1. As with most hybrids or fusions, I’m sure these shoes will be both loved and hated, but only time will tell. These are scheduled to release this September.

Miller's Ale House
They recently opened up a Miller’s Ale House at Town Square in Las Vegas, and I finally got a chance to check it out. I wasn’t too sure what to expect because there are already so many sports bars in Las Vegas. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was great, lots of great deals on drinks, a good variety of beers on tap, pool tables, lots of TV’s. Though there...

Talking Shop Tuesday: [Artist Feature] Mark...
My love for sneakers has never really been just strictly for the shoes themselves, but also their history, the design, and especially the art. I’m always amazed at what people can create with shoes, on shoes, or even inspired by shoes. Who would have thought that these simple pieces of leather and rubber could trigger so many emotions, and spark so much creativity. In a sneaker culture...

The Originator
Imelda Marcos is a Filipino politician and wife of former Philippine’s President Ferdinand Marcos. However, she may be better known for her collection of over 2700 pairs of shoes. Though her closet may not be stacked with Nike and Jordan boxes, it’s amazing to think that in some strange way, we share the same passion.

Tofu Hut
Living in Las Vegas, there’s never a shortage of places to eat. Fortunately, going to school here has also given me the opportunity to discover the hidden gems away from the strip. Tofu Hut is one of those gems.
Tofu Hut is a small, simple Korean restaurant in Chinatown, about 15 minutes from the strip. The funny thing about this post is that I won’t be talking about tofu....

Nike SB Dunk High "Civil"
This Nike SB Dunk High designed by Civil Skate Shop in Rhode Island is by far one of the better Nike SB releases as of late. First of all, the colorway is on point. You can’t go wrong with a tonal greys, and the black tongue and midsole are a perfect complement. Also, the combination of materials used on these is amazing. Nubuck, suede, canvas, leather, it’s all there. Simple and...
