Posted by I’m usually not a big fan of pub crawls, unless they include the smartest / drunkest scientist in the known animated universe. Rick and Morty (possibly my favorite cartoon of all-time) is getting its own themed-crawl in Long Beach this Saturday. If the thought of seeing hundreds of people dressed up as Pickle Rick, Robot Dog, Tiny Rick, Pencilvester, and Evil Morty makes you giggle and smirk, then I suggest you head to the LBC this weekend.

A Look Inside David Chang’s First L.A. Restaurant
Eater LA recently checked out David Chang’s highly anticipated west coast restaurant majordōmo. Located just north of Chinatown in an industrial area,
majordōmo’s menu will feature a mashup of asian inspired dishes with Chang’s signature intense flavor bombs. Eater LA reveals he’ll be serving Chinese bing, Korean ferments, noodles, smoked meats and even shaved ice. David’s version of the icy dessert will be coffee-horchata flavored. Sounds delicous and I can’t wait to eat everything. For now there is no official opening date but it could be any day now. Read more about David’s vision, the menu at majordōmo and the restaurants design here. UPDATE: News has broke that majordōmo will be open for dinner starting tonight, January 23. (via Eater LA)
