Mao’s On Melrose
Posted by Jason Cosper | Filed under Food
After leafing thru a few of my recent Twitters, I was reminded of a huge mural I saw on the side of a building on Melrose for Mao’s Kitchen. So I did a little searching and I managed to come across a thread on Chowhound where another observant individual seemed to notice it too.
If the person who chimed in at the bottom of the aforementioned Chowhound thread is right about the owner wanting to open this outpost quickly, I am very excited. I’m almost never on the Westside, but I do make it up to the Hollywood area at least one or two times a month. And it’d really be nice to have an option other than Swingers or Canter’s when I’m looking to get my post event grub on.

I just realized that it’s been weeks since I’ve caught an episode of House or Gilmore Girls. I wonder if it’s even worth trying to get back up to speed at this point.

Sneaker people freak me out sometimes with their levels of obsessiveness — and that’s saying a lot seeing as how I’m a huge t-shirt nerd — but I’ve gotta admit that they pretty much have the whole display thing down pat.

Bits like this remind me of why I adore ZeFrank as much as I do — but it’s not like I really need to look for reasons or anything.
