Japanese cream puff pastry chain extrordinaire Beard Papa’s has opened up in Cerritos (right next to my Gramma’s house!) and I’m bummed because I don’t live there anymore and I can’t enjoy eating their luscious Japan-ified profiteroles.

Mario Batali Makes a Guest Appearance on a Rock Music Video

What the Arab-American Youth Is Up to: The Lahme Song
