Sterling


I had dinner with my friend Joey and his wife Brynn, and I finally got to meet their little boy Sterling. Sterling is so easy to deal with, he is the type of baby that makes one think, "Hey I could do this."

Joey's family owns Utros in San Pedro, it's a Pedro staple with the best burgers in town. Keep it Cavotu Joey.

We're on a Mexican Radio

Shiiatke Happens was highlighted on 89.9 KRCW's "Good Food" here in Los Angeles Saturday Morn'.

We are the second story, at about the 4:01 minute mark. If I was any better at this I'd be able to edit down to just our segment, but I'm not.

Take a listen... Shiitake On Yer Radio

You Never Forget Your First

Shiitake Happens had a big day on Wednesday. We had our first market at the Santa Monica Farmers Market, and it was bitchen. My good friend Katie was on hand to help me out, I couldn't have done it without her!




Steve Roberts from Cafe Boogaloo (boogaloo.com) stopped by to check us out, and we are always stoked to see Steve.





We met a new friend Sandy, who owns Pace a great Italian joint on Laurel Canyon Blvd.



We sold out of mushrooms in under a hour and a half, thanks to the the likes of these two young ladies. Who, coincidentally were my first two customers. Thanks to everyone who made our first market so successful.
