Dandgure’s Classic Southern Cooking is the place for comfort food. A warm inviting place for “Meat & Three’s”, that’s three veggie’s, not pork chops like I had. Dandgure’s is what it is, simple southern comfort food. Perfect on a cool fall afternoon, or when you’re missing your mama back home. I will warn you, spandex was probably created by people who eat at places like this so don’t make it a habit because it can get addicting. Now, if you will excuse me, I’m gonna go take a nap.

Cool video from the Basement Jaxx. Love the cool graphic bears and urban “cowbro”! That’s right he’s a cowbro, what?
Tasting Table is exactly what a foodie like myself loves. Lots of credible-edible information on the latest eateries, chefs, foods and drinks in and around town. They specialize in LA/New York/Chicago/San Francisco and Washington D.C., but they also have a generic “Everywhere” version. Sign up for daily emails and updates to satisfy all of your culinary needs. TASTING TABLE
Whether this is even more proof of global warming or not, I’m not sure but the last time I was in Marseille, France it was over 100+ degrees. This idyllic seaside port in the South of France is not known for cold weather let alone snow. This video continues to blow my mind. My last memory was sweating bullets on the same boulevards that these kids are skiing down. Unbelievable.
From Republic bicycles in Dania Beach, Florida comes the hottest thing or rather newest trend in cycling. The fixed-gear custom bike. On college campuses all over the west coast, the fixed-gear bike is the coolest between class accessory. Republic ups the ante with the ultimate customizing. They have an online configurator that allows you to come up with the color combination of your choice and for those who making a final decision or those artistically challenged, they have a full selection of pre-designed cycles. Priced at $399.00 and offering a 7 day turnaround it’s actually quite reasonable as far as custom bikes or anything goes for that matter. REPUBLIC
From Victorinox, “The Swiss army brand of Swiss army” comes this ultra cool, tank like rolling case. Called the Officers Trunk, it comes in three sizes. A hard sized, hummer like exterior, in of course, Swiss army red, black and silver all with aluminum accents. This case is uber cool. I might actually be looking at my next overnight bag, in red of course. I love the details of it and the simplicity. This case is fashioned after the Swiss army knife as an archetype. I just hope it has a flip out wine opener on it. It does however come with TSA approved locks, a comfort gel grip handle, full 180° opening for one sided loading and 360° spinning urethane wheels for quick movement. Priced between $499 for the Small, $549 for Medium and $699. for the Large. VICTORINOX
Boy does this bring back memories. Back in the day, I was a fully sponsored BMX racer. I was only 12 years old, but I raced for Raleigh Bikes. I even had my caricature drawn on the side of my team bus. I was a superstar in my circle. BMX was the sport of choice back in the 70’s in Southern California. I dreamed of riding and racing all day long and couldn’t wait till I got to the track. It all started when I got my first BMX bike. It was a Mongoose, just like the one pictured below. I ended up, replacing almost every part, or breaking every part at least once or twice. Then I had the dream situation happen to me, I got sponsored for a full ride with Raleigh Bikes. I had a uniform by JT Racing, matching helmet by Bell, sneakers by Vans, it was awesome. I ended up leaving BMX because I wanted to play high school sports which I regret now. My high school team sucked. Oh well, at least I can look through the BMX Museum’s pages and reminisce. They’ve got pages and pages of the bikes I grew up with. Little did I know that there are so many people out there who have kept up these cool machines. If only I had known, I’d have kept my bikes for sure. Love it. BMXMUSEUM.COM
