Please explain why dead tv's are showing up all over Cypress Park? This is only one of dozens that have sprouted up on the sidewalk or verge in the last couple weeks. Is it a statement about tv and an endorsement of radio?

The fiddlehead fern (above) is edible. But you will probably get arrested by the campus cops at PCC if you try to harvest one there.
To save prison time and legal expenses, better to try out Restaurant Week, which runs through February 5th (excluding Saturday). Click inside the dineLA family tree story below for more info.
To whet your appetite, this week's Off-Ramp offers a cornucopia of food-related interviews, highlighted by Michael Cimarusti's Japan Travelogue, in which this incredibly busy chef (Providence LA) sat down with Off-Ramp to give us the blowfish-by-blowfish account of his chef's fellowship to Japan. Plus he gave us all his photos.

Note from John Rabe:
You web users get TWO custom-tailored versions of Off-Ramp. Think of it as a daily talk show and a weekend variety show. During the week, we're posting long versions of interviews -- like this week's with Charles Solomon on "The Secret of Kells," EatLA's Colleen Bates, and business reporter Mark Lacter on SoCal's housing situation. Then, when they're done being edited, we post the shorter versions of the stories, which will be broadcast the old fashioned way to almost 100,000 people on the weekend.
If something piques your interest, makes you mad, or makes you laugh, please leave a comment below. If you have ideas for the show, leave them here, as well.
Thanks for listening and Happy 2010!
-- John
