Can you DIG IT‼️🍽‼️ SHAQ just opened a cool new restaurant… right next to the STAPLES CENTER!

And here it is!

Shaquille’s is an upscale casual restaurant specializing in Southern cuisine.

Of course… I had to stop by and check it out… I liked the VIBE here… There was a nice crowd inside… and the host staff and servers.. were very pleasant.

My first thoughts were… what a FANTASTIC spot for SHAQ to open a restaurant! Tons of tourists are always in the area… not to mention great sporting events with the Lakers, Clippers, Sparks and Kings having sold out games all the time… –plus-, all the great concerts, movie 🎥 premieres, Awards Shows… and other high profile events.

SHAQ has SCORED another GREAT BUSINESS DEAL!!!!

Oh, I forgot to mention… a pretty cool thing to know…the stage for sports commentators… is usually set up on the side street.. between the restaurant, and Staples Center…

Sooooo…. If SHAQ is doing some sports commentating with one of the networks… you might catch him in action… close to his restaurant. #HighFive!!!! 🤚🏾

The second thing that came to my mind was… SHAQ obviously picked his favorite comfort foods… which I also thought was pretty great.

Good Stuff! A lot of my favorite foods included! 👍🏽👍🏽

Mmmm!!! There’s Fried Chicken on the menu..

Mac and cheese

Deviled Eggs

Sliders

There are only two burgers on the menu, a Shaq cheeseburger and an actual Kobe burger

Also…fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, corn pudding, and Banana Pudding.

Most of the entrees are pretty standard fare with pan-roasted salmon, roast Jidori chicken, flat-iron steak, and shrimp ceviche..

Shaquille’s curated beverage program includes a wine vault, local draft beers

(only Southern California beers are on tap. Modern and classic cocktails are available,

with an emphasis on bourbons and whiskeys.

The NEW place to be… is in the heart ❤️ of downtown LA.. in the hot 🔥Entertainment spot LA Live.

LA Live… of course.. is right next door to the STAPLES CENTER… which means it is always a lively location.

The restaurant includes a private enclosed patio.. near the main entrance with modern designs inside to easily transform the guest experience from day ☀️ to night 🌙.

The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner with extended lounge hours.

Hours are Sunday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. until 10 p.m., and stays open until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you so much for attending a recent taping of “STEVE” in Los Angeles, CA. We hope you had a great time! I’m emailing you today because we’re looking for women who are interested in being a part of a fun upcoming show. If this oppurtunity doesn’t apply to you, feel free to pass around to friends and family memebers.

We’re looking for LOCAL LOS ANGELES WOMEN to be part of a very special upcoming taping where you would get to be ON STAGE with Steve Harvey!

You must be available to tape Tuesday 3/19 between 7AM-12PM at the Universal Studios Lot in Universal City, CA.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

Do you watch Uncle Steve everyday because you love his advice? Do you wish you had a front row seat for Steve’s advice and tips? Are you single? Do you need dating advice from Steve Harvey? If yes, please e-mail a recent selfie (no headshots), and your contact information to us by Monday 3/11 at the latest. Please also let us know if you’ve been in a “Hey Steve,” segment or another guest on the show.

In addition, if any of the below statements apply to you, please let us know in your submission:

– You grew up without a father/ don’t have a male figure in your life

– You have a hard time dating

– Your standards are too high

– Have your friends told you-you’re too picky, and should maybe lower your standards to find a man?

– Do you think chivalry is dead so you no longer require a man to open a car door or pay for a date?

– Are you in a relationship currently that you’re not sure if you should continue?

Please note: This is NOT to request general tickets to the show. If you wish to do so, please click HERE

We can’t wait to hear from you!

Martha Stewart Food and Wine 🍷 Experience…is a BIG HIT with LA Foodies

SAVOR. INDULGE. ENJOY‼️

The 2018 Martha Stewart Wine & Food Experience… was presented by USA TODAY.. at Los Angeles Center Studio…Saturday, December 1, 2018 from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm (VIP Entry.. was at 12 noon)!

What a way… to start the holiday season! An exquisite table setting…instantly put me in a festive mood. Let the Christmas soirées….and dinner parties BEGIN!!!

It was a glorious day… in downtown LA! I savored every delicious bite…in the GRAND TASTING EVENT… with hundreds of other foodies…

The highlight of the afternoon… was catching MARTHA STEWART in action on center stage! She prepared food… and answered questions from the audience.

The culinary QUEEN 👑 talked about the importance of preparing fresh and delicious food from scratch.

Martha says she NEVER uses anything from a can!

I heard that loud… and clear!

Soooo…. I made my way right on over to the fruit & vegetable cart.

During a candid conversation with her audience… Martha even talked about making food for her 4 dogs… She says she uses all natural ingredients…( including fresh fish)

After the food is mixed by hand… or prepped in a blender … She stores it in small containers in her freezer… until needed.

When asked about what gives her the greatest JOY…

Martha says she enjoys baking most…

She gets great pleasure out of making homemade cookies, and pies with fruit.

–Especially apples.. 🍏 🍎 picked from the trees.. around her home.

Fine Cuisine, Comfort Foods, Appetizers, Desserts, Wine, Beer and Cocktails… were prepared by local and national chefs and mixologists.

Mixologists were making spirits ✨BRIGHT✨ with lots of cocktails! 🍹

These are Smooth & rich pina coladas! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

… And of course…Everyone made time…for wine!🍷

This chef… was whipping up shrimp 🍤 & grits with a special sauce!

These culinary Kings… were serving up gumbo!!!

My eyes 👀 LIT UP…..

when I saw this HUGE POT!👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

It was hot… and delicious with PLENTY of mussels & shrimp!

The spice was nice… and gave it a nice kick!

Adding another level of flavor to food is serious!

People loved tasting these olive oils & fine Balsamic from LunaOlivo

Here are photos of several other savory selections featured at this CULINARY AFFAIR ….

Foodies noshed on everything from pasta, steak, tacos, fish, sushi to…pizza and bbq selections… and more!

Cooking demonstrations are always a great way to learn new recipes… and updated methods to make food prep easier… and More tasty!

Guests also explored the ultimate Martha Stewart Experience…featuring the very latest from the lifestyle leader…

Martha & Snoop Dogg have cooked up a hit show!

Martha also has a wide variety of products on the market. Quite a few available on AMAZON.

Her EMPIRE Now including a clothing line……

and

shoes 👠 available at PAYLESS!!!!

We also had a chance to enjoy arts and crafts on the scene!

I’m hand painting a cooking apron! 😄

There were Grateful House interactive demonstrations… donut decorating 🍩 guacamole making… coffee/ cappuccino tastings…and live entertainment!

I had a wonderful day! ☀️ This event is scheduled during the most wonderful time of the year! 🎄

Having this wine and food experience in December… gives us lots of ideas… for holiday entertaining, and making delectable bites for friends and family!

Here a wish✨for a hearty and flavorful year ahead!

There is a pleasant atmosphere with people chewing… and grooving! Trendy 🎶 music sets the tone for a sensational night!

This delectable affair offers guests the chance to sample cuisines… and products from some of the most prominent epicurean influencers…

👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽This NY Strip Steak from STK was juicy! 🥩 This small sample was BIG on FLAVOR…It definitely made me want to make reservations at STK in LA to get MORE!

This is a fun affair! The city skyline is magnificent at night!

The mood of the festival is always upbeat! EVERYONE is always in great spirits! Celebrity D.J’s are pumping out beats… Festival goers eat well… and I’m always THRILLED 😁 to see people having such a good time!

and enjoy the sights and sounds of the entertainment industry’s brightest talents.

Mixed Drinks anyone???

This shaker is churning out beverages… like a truck mixes cement…

So… how do you want your drink… shaken??? Stirred??? Are mixed really good??? This master mixer was steadily cranking out drinks ALL.NIGHT.LONG!

How about a REALLY pretty dessert??? Mango… passion fruit praline, coconut … chocolate and a vanilla marshmallow topping….

It’s soooo GOOD!!! A sweet treat in the form of a “dessert pop!”

This gourmet truffle 🌭 hot dog… from NoMad was AMAZING! The restaurant… and hotel is relatively NEW downtown… but it has quickly become “THE PLACE TO BE!!!” Record crowds flock to the restaurants, bars and rooftop 7 DAYS A WEEK! It always feels like the weekend… at NoMad..
