More detailed pics of the cake to come, but in the meantime make sure to follow My Smiley Cakes on twitter.

It was only a matter of time before someone opened up a Hip-Hop inspired restaurant. Yes, it’s true, Bon Rappetite is an actual restaurant that recently opened up in Atlanta. The whole thing smells a little gimmicky, but I really have no idea how the quality of the food is here, but with a menu filled with dishes like Wu-Tang Clams, Master P Soup, and Queen La Pizza, I’d be interested enough to try it. If anyone in the Atlanta area has been here, please let me know how it is in the comments section below.

I know it’s way late, but I finally got a chance to post these pics up from the heART & SOLE Event a while back. Tons of great art, like the one above by the homie Ree. Unfortunately, I got to Yojie late and they weren’t serving food anymore, so I will definitely have to come back. Of course, the LA sneaker fam was in attendance, and good times were had. Hit the jump for more pics of the art that was on display.

One of the hardest thing’s for me to do is to call something my “favorite.” So, this year, I decided to start trying to narrow things down into lists. Currently, I’m on my quest to find the Top 5 Steakhouse’s in the greater Los Angeles area. A couple weeks back I tried out Mastro’s, and recently I checked out Fleming’s. I ordered the bone-in ribeye again to keep my reviews consistent. The steak was actually really good, but in comparison to Mastro’s, this was the Carl’s Jr. to an In-N-Out. The prices were about the same, but there was just no comparison to the quality. Also, I didn’t appreciate the portion size of the sides, which seemed far too small for the pricing, although their calamari appetizer was surprisingly really good. I’m just hoping I didn’t start this Quest on the wrong end, but we will see. The next stops will most likely be Morton’s and probably Ruth’s Chris. If you have any suggestions for Steakhouses please comment below or email here.

This year I’m starting a new series on FWS called My Top 5, which will feature various Top 5 Lists from different friends in the industry. What better way to kick this off with one of the most iconic sneakers to ever grace the Earth, the Nike Air Force 1. And of course I had to enlist the expertise of none other than the Air Force 1 Ambassador on the West Coast, my man, Hassan, also known as AFROKIX. I have never met anyone that is more passionate about the Air Force 1 than this man here. Hassan was originally raised in Brussels, Belgium in Europe where Air Max’s and runners reign supreme, so Air Force 1’s were the shoes that ended up sitting on clearance racks. What started out as an economic choice, grew to be his obsession. Today, Hassan holds a collection of over 600 pairs with over 200 of them being AF1’s. Here’s his Top 5.

The other night my fiance caught me talking in my sleep, and I woke up right after saying, “Can I order uhh…” To be honest, I was more frustrated than embarrassed because I didn’t get to complete me order! The was food I was so vividly dreaming about ordering was the Student Special at Aloha Kitchen in Vegas. I ate this at least once a week while going to school at UNLV, but haven’t had it in months! $4.49 for a teriyaki chicken bowl and a drink. Can’t get much better. Yup, it’s the stuff dreams are made of. Apparently.

Mastro’s Steakhouse Knows Steak. I don’t usually eat at fancy places like this, but it was well worth it. I stepped out of my car at the valet wearing Levi’s and Nikes on my feet, surrounded by people in fitted suits and European cars. I couldn’t have looked more out of place, but I didn’t care. I came here with one thing on my mind…Steak. 22oz. bone-in ribeye, medium. It just doesn’t get much better than that. This was my first time eating at Mastro’s, and it did not disappoint. No matter where you are or who you are, good food is good food. And the steak I ate at Mastro’s was easily one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Mastro’s may hurt your pockets, but your stomach will thank you later. Save up, bring a loved one, enjoy an amazing steak.
