Midtown Lunch blog did a coverage about "LA's Most Genius Hamburger Toppings" and my stomach couldn't help but growl reading about Umami Burger's Parmesan Frico topping. The big parmesan crisp topping is on Umami burger's signature "Umami" burger with shiitake mushroom, caramelized onions, roasted tomato, parmesan crisp, umami ketchup. You can also get the "Umami" burger vegetarian style by substituting the beef patty with portobello mushroom!

Yard Sale Hosted by Star Seed
Sunday, March 5th 11 am - 4 pm
In a society where big brands dominate the styles of the masses, Mitra wanted to create something more than just another piece of jewelry. With influence from her middle eastern roots & the purpose of the jewels women would adorn their bodies with, each design has a story to tell & carries an energy of its own.

Starting now through December, Space 15 Twenty will host a food drive for The Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition.
The collection bin is set up in the courtyard of Space 15 Twenty. We are collecting – canned food, juice,"paper goods" -- cups, plates, forks, gloves, and trash bags.
You can also directly donate here.
"The Food Coalition is comprised of actors, producers, writers, artists, teachers, journalists, lawyers, housewives, and a corps of former "clients" who help us pick up donated food all over town and prepare it in a kitchen just a mile from Sycamore and Romaine. Serving a meal to the "homeless and hungry" is the smallest part of what we do. We meet them on their own turf and talk to them – and listen. We get to know them as individuals, and, little by little, in all kinds of ways, we then help them to think better of themselves and to not be shy about asking for specific, practical help – which the Food Coalition, entirely unsystematically, then tries to provide. All together, volunteers and homeless, form a kind of microcosm of what the larger community ought to be, but now, in the big city, is no longer. The motto of The Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition is simply this (with no religious strings attached): I Am My Brother's Keeper."
TGWHFC is always looking for volunteers. Please click here for more info.
