LA's 20 Most Iconic Dishes

1 Langer's #19

• There is no more iconic single sandwich in Los Angeles (and no better pastrami sandwich in America) than the #19 at Langer’s. It’s the absolute pinnacle of a Jewish deli staple, complete with mile-high stacks of pastrami, Swiss cheese, and coleslaw on rye.

5 Baseball Steak at Pacific Dining Car

• Forget Training Day; the baseball steak at Pacific Dining Car transcends any one movie or Denzel Washington catchphrase. The meaty softball-sized main is the centerpiece of a large, classic menu at the Sixth Street location, which has been providing steakhouse elegance 24 hours a day since 1921.

8 Hot Dog at Pink's

• There is little debate that Pink’s offers the most iconic hot dogs in all of LA. Founded back in 1939 as a street cart, Pink’s has attracted a wide range of celebrities over the years, a fact that it proudly touts with the signed photos that cover its walls and the celeb-themed dogs on its menu. Just be wary of some pretty outrageous lines that can stretch to the end of the block.

Acura Chopped Up a Ferrari 458 To Learn How To Build A Competitive NSX

Whenever an automotive manufacturer embarks on a new project, it is only natural that they would take a long, hard look at what the competition is producing.

Well, Acura took this to the extreme during the development of the new NSX. According to Autocar,

Acura purchased a Ferrari 458 during the development of the supercar for the eventual purpose of cutting it apart and analyzing the aluminum construction that was hidden underneath the skin. Reportedly, the remnants of that car remain in bins somewhere in Honda's R&D facility.

Why There's So Much Distrust In The Business World

Lawsuit against Skully co-founders claims brothers blew funding

A few days ago, Skully, a San Francisco-based startup with hopes of building a digitally augmented motorcycle helmet, announced that it would be shutting its doors. The closure came a few weeks after Skully's board of directors forced out Marcus and Mitch Willer, the brothers who co-founded the company, reports TechCrunch. Now, the brothers and their company are facing a lawsuit by the brothers' assistant, Isabelle Faithauser, for using funding for personal uses, reports BuzzFeed News.

Faithauser claims the Willers "used the corporate entities of Skully in such a fraudulent manner as to render the corporate entity a sham." The suit, which was filed last month, also states that the brothers demanded Faithauser to participate in fraudulent bookkeeping procedures to defraud investors. The fraudulent tactics were used to trick investors into believing that the company was using funds for business purposes, when it was actually being used on personal expenses.

According to the suit, some alleged personal expenses include: a Dodge Viper, a second Dodge Viper (after the first one was involved in an accident), a weekend Lamborghini rental, personal rent for the brothers' apartment in San Francisco, four motorcycles, the brothers' restaurant meals, weekly apartment cleanings, $2,000 at a strip club called "De Ja Vu," $80,000 in cash to an unnamed co-founder (hidden as a trip to China), and much more.

Skully raised approximately $2.5 million in crowdfunding through IndieGogo – roughly 979 percent of the company's original goal of $250,000 – from 1,940 people. The money was supposed to be used on building helmets with a heads-up display, but the company kept pushing back its release date.
