TaKorea: The Most Cleverly-Named Taco Truck in the City

The competition’s stiff out there for street vendors.  Everyone knows that the cuter the name of the truck or cart, the more attention the food is bound to get.  This is how we ended up with the likes of Curry Up Now and the Chairman Bao bun truck, both pretty funny

Rub Elbows With The World Series Champs at Giants FanFest 2011

Well, my credit card bills from October (read:  playoffs and World Series month) have finally been whittled down to respectable amounts, but what with the holidays and adjusting to 2011, I didn’t realize that baseball season, while obviously not officially beginning until April, is BACK for hardcore fans this Saturday
