I’ve often wondered how Del Taco survives when it’s vastly inferior to Taco Bell. I’ve had this disucssion with several different folks and I’ve recently realized why they survive. While Taco Bell is open late most of the time, Del Taco seems to locate themselves around locations where they are one of the few businesses open late so people have to eat there if they are hungry at night. At least that’s my super-unscientific deduction after pondering this one too many times (ok that makes it like pondering it five times I guess)…
Awards and the society crowd
This lil crab guy was either an edible portion of the sushi stand or decorative in nature. My sister and I both like these crunchy crabs, but someone else tought it wasn’t quite edible so I didn’t want to risk it that night.
This was from the 2005 California Home and Design magazine awards party, and there were a lot of the usual society crowd on hand, and I found out that night that I was in the current issue of 7×7 Magazine (see p.73) with my friend Sarah Berger. Our ad for weddings for Orange is also in that same issue on pg. 135 – check it out!
Frank Chu buttons
You’ve seen them on hipsters and now you can have your very own Frank Chu pin.
Half proceeds go to Frank and we’re trying to get him to open his own store too!
