Welcome Abigaile

Here at SH, we pride ourselves by treating our clients with the utmost respect. Customer service has always been a top priority whether they are a new account, old account, large corporation and/or mom n' pop cafe. With that being said, we would like welcome Hermosa Beach's newest dinning establishment, Abigaile to the SH family. Abigaile recently opened its doors at the former Union Cattle bar (I bet you know someone who rode their infamous mechanical bull). Unfortunately the bull is gone but who needs it when you have a menu that changes daily (designed for sharing and tasting and prepared with fresh eats from local farms) and a great selection of house brewed draft beers. They even had Fletcher from Pennywise spray paint the walls to pay homage to Hermosa Beach's punk rock roots. Hell yeah! Need I say more, eat, drink and be merry.

Don't Quit Your Day Job

Long before I started Shiitake Happens, I was a fresh college graduate (Go Otters!) working as a starving photographer in the surfing industry. Majority of my time was spent traveling and shooting photos of the best surfers in the world. I was definitely living the dream.

I recently received a call from my good friend, Ruby, asking me to dust off the old camera and shoot photos of the Spyder Surf Fest 2. I couldn't say no to my old passion plus it sounded like it was going to be quite an event.

Surfline.com wrote a nice article on the event and posted my pictures here. Thanks again for the good times, Ruby. Ok now back to reality of being a starving mushroom farmer.
