If you need plywood in any possible size, shape, color, grain, treatment, etc. your best bet is Anderson Plywood in Culver City. As a bonus, it’s conveniently located near Johnnie’s Pastrami and Tito’s Tacos. Plywood is the greatest wood of all, isn’t it? I personally enjoy buying special plywood pieces just to look at in my apartment, and I’m thinking of panelling my Trans Am completely in various plywood grains and stains. I’ll let you all know how that goes as soon as it’s done.

Don’t let the name fool you, this legendary KTown eatery is not a flowery temple for keeping your karma in line, freeing the bees from their slave labor, and leap-frogging yummy animal parts for mung beans and soy cubes. At BCD Tofu House you will get a bite of just about every major animal group that ever graced man’s plate– burned, branded, and sliced up in an indulgent feast of Korean flavors. There is only one completely vegetarian item on the menu, the rest is pure meat mayhem.

The classic has a few outposts from LA to Garden Grove to Seoul to Tokyo, each with their own specialities. Neighborhood outsiders are welcomed, but sadly, for their sakes, few appear. I broke my BCD cherry along with the golden-paletted gourmand Ali Khan, from the hilariously mouth-watering Chef Jeff and Ali Show. It was creeping up on midnight so we needed a 24-hour option and were feeling like a healthy snack, allowing the “tofu” to mislead us from Thai Town down Western to Wilshire. The tofu comes from the centerpiece of every meal here, soontofu, a hot-as-Hades soup lined with melt-in-your-mouth silky tofu and copious ingredients from the animal and marine kingdom…..
