94 DEGREES, SAM SPIEGEL & THE KOGI KREW


We're back! LA is 94degrees and, hell yes we're lovin' it. Ten minute drive from Echo Park and we're at the Griffith Park Observatory overlooking Los Angeles.





Driving back through the city we head over to Hollywood to drop in to the Squeak E Clean / NASA studio house and kick it with our good friend Sam Spiegel. Looking forward to working with Sam on his awesome doc & video project. More of which later. We chat, Erin and Sam geek out over analogue gear and basslines, Sam plays some exclusz and we all rad out.



LA homes are conducive to chillin'. Devin and Stacey's beautiful new house in Silver Lake confirms this. AC blasting, Swishers be smoking. And next for dinner? The cult of Los Angeles that is the Korean Kogi BBQ Taco Truck. Korean BBQ Tacos. It has its fair share of haters. Of course, it's kinda hipster fusion street food, it's got a massive Twitter following - the only way to know exactly where the trucks will stop - and it's arguably the most popular Taco truck in the whole of LA. Haterade is flowing. But the food? Amazing. Korean BBQ Short Rib tacos and chili BBQ pork tacos topped with a fresh, peppery light Korean salad and spiced out kimchee, all wrapped on a soft corn tortilla. And the Kogi Dog? A Hot Dog spiced with kimchee and all the trimmings? I've been waiting on this for a longass time. The cheese and kimchee quesadilla, not so. Food coma.
