Where I Get My Late Night Grub Fit At

LA's Essential Late Night Dining Restaurants, Summer 2016

2 BCD Tofu House
  • A bubbling bowl of hot, spicy Korean tofu stew is going to be one of the most satisfying late night eats in town, and BCD makes up a more the adequate bowl. The spread of banchan and the stone pot bowl of steamed rice is going to mop up any hangover that might be lingering. The dumpling stew or the mixed seafood versions are the best. 
  • 3575 Wilshire Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90010
23 Pacific Dining Car - Santa Monica
  • One of two all-night restaurants (the other is a stone's throw from Downtown), Pacific Dining Car is the elegant night owl's landing, where white tablecloths and a menu lifted from the 50's makes it presence known. The varied menu is pricey but features items like the Midnight Cowboy Steak and the Rack of Lamb. Because people get hungry at 3 a.m.
  • 2700 Wilshire Boulevard Santa Monica, CA 90403
27 Sanamluang Café
  • This old-school Thai Town noodle joint serves late into the night, when the local bar goers and Hollywood trouble-makers need a hangover cure. The menu features spicy bowls of Thai Boat Noodles and other classics at a bargain price.
  • 5176 Hollywood Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90027
40 The Original Pantry Cafe
  • A must-experience, all-night eatery in Downtown doesn't have a better composition than The Original Pantry Cafe, a tried-and-true greasy spoon institution that grills solid steaks and makes the ideal pancakes, any time of day or night. Don't skip the fried potato either, which make a near perfect hangover cure. Cash only, open 24 hours.
  • 877 S Figueroa St Los Angeles, CA 90017
47 Suehiro Cafe
  • There's something terrific about dining late at night in Little Tokyo, like it's a time warp to decades ago. The food at Suehiro is decidedly Japanese comfort fare, but when it's midnight, what's better than some fried tonkatsu? Open until 1 a.m. weekdays, and until 3 a.m. from Friday to Sunday.
  • 337 E 1st St Los Angeles, CA 90012

Finally, Someone Is Saying Something About This

How LED Daytime Running Lights And LCD Instruments Are Making You Less Safe


While I haven’t done a formal study, I’ve seen enough cars driving around like this for me to believe this is a genuine issue. Many cars now include automatic lights that would solve this if – and this is a huge if – drivers always kept the switch on AUTO. They very often don’t, because I’ve seen them.

As always, instead of cursing the darkness, I’m here to turn on some headlights, so I have a solution: we need a very big and obvious indicator to let people know lights are on. Something to replace that gut-level indicator of a whole dark dash when lights were off on old cars.

I’m thinking that little stupid light needs to turn into some big, full-instrument-cluster width bar-like indicator when lights are on. Something you can’t ignore or overlook. When the brights are on, it can get that standard blue bright icon on it, too, but whatever it is, it needs to be obvious and clear about what’s going on.

There's A Method To The Madness

There’s A Reason Why There’s A Hole In The Middle Of Your Spaghetti Server Is Actually Pretty Smart 

But yes, apparently that’s what the hole in the middle of your spaghetti server is for. Or, if you’re a lazy twat who doesn’t own a strainer, it’s also there so that you can use the server as a janky way to pull spaghetti straight from the pot to your plate without having a gallon of water come along with it.

Sad, But Not Suprising News

History Channel gives Top Gear USA the axe 

Tuesday night’s episode will be the last for the American Top Gear crew. 

The last episode of Top Gear USA featuring Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust, and Wood will air on June 28th (Tuesday night) and has the hosts driving classic American cars in Cuba. According to Wood, the last episode is "one of the coolest things we have ever done together." So here's to hoping the show leaves on a good note.

The American version of Top Gear first aired in 2010 and had a hard time competing with the likes of the original BBC variant with Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond. Towards the end, however, Ferrara, Foust, and Wood were part of a show that could stand on its own.

As Wood points out, the show may be picked up by another network, which could even include some type of online streaming service later on. With the British variant of Top Gear having a myriad of problems, it looks like Top Gear as a whole has spiraled downwards after the departure of the original trio.
