As a Chef, one of the things I really love about living in California is the fact that we have some of the best farmland in the world, and it’s put to use by people who care. Napa and Sonoma are both justifiably famous for their wines and postcard views …
So, a few weeks ago I had a fan email me saying that they run a small Hot Sauce Company out of Florida (don’t judge, they’re cool) and asked if they could send a few samples and have me give em my honest opinion. Free Hot Sauce? Cool, sign me …
When it comes to the history of Feminism, Carol Doda is one of the most important figures that most people have never heard of. Oddly enough, I owe my life to this woman and that’s not an exaggeration in any way. Born in Vallejo in 1937, her parents divorced when …
There’s a first time for everything, but the key is doing it right. I have to say, I feel like I lucked out finding the Golden Haven. It’s not modern or hip and to some, it might appear a bit rustic, yet the rooms are large and clean and it’s …

Let’s say that I’m a builder and I get hired by someone to build an apartment building for people. I get the job due to my decades of experience building amazing places that people love. Because of the fact that I’ve been doing this for so long, I’ve had some …
Yesterday certainly wasn’t my first time at Pride but this was a bit different than the rest since this year is the first time I really understood why these events are so important. You think of Pride and of course, you think of ego and arrogance but this ain’t the …
Grief is a motherfucker so if this doesn’t make any sense, oh well, he deserved some kind of a tribute and he wasn’t exactly a well-oiled machine himself. What kind of creature refers to himself as “Brown Beard the Butt Pirate”? I mean seriously, who the fuck comes up with …
