Man, sacramento-dwelling chef Joshua Ploeg really came through. He catered a brunch for me that over 25 people were at without breaking a sweat, everyone loved the food, and there were a ton of scones and biscuits and cookies leftover. One of the best things he made this time was a crazy curried banana/fake egg salad finger sandwich thing, which sounds gross but was delicious. There were some fake bacon/fake cream cheese rolls that I hear were really good but they were gone too fast for me to get one. If you have any type of event like this, baby shower, birthday party, rehearsal dinner, hell I'm pretty sure he could handle a wedding probably, email him. travelinechef@gmail.com Unfortunately, he rarely checks his email these days, but if you have any work to throw his way, comment on the blog and I can put you in touch with him. I have his cell number now.
I hear that local entrepeneur Olivia of Olipom is starting up a new business. And she's going to buy and sell clothes ala Crossroads. This is very exciting and seems sure to prosper. I'm going to have to stop giving away my thrift store finds to friends and make some money on that shit. jk!
Where is this new Olipom shop going to be? I did notice that there is a clothing store of some sort going into the old office-supply store location on L between 16th and 17th this morning. Could this be the same thing? Maybe better if it's not--that would mean two new clothing shops. Not that my cheapskate Thrift Town going self is going to buy there, but hey.
ReplyDeletebrunch was fantastic, just what me and my hangover needed.Lots of food and hanging out
ReplyDeleteAnd that was a cute baby, well Anna and Eric.

new olipom shop is called bows & arrows, more on it in the dec. MM. it's Olivia teaming up with Trisha who does the Pretty Trashy line, and Mark from Time Bandits will have mid-century furniture pieces for sale, and i heard there will be a new art gallery via Liz of Fool's Foundation and maybe a moped shop. its a huge space, right over in that enclave by Old Soul/ 58 degrees, etc.
ReplyDeleteOkay, in that case it is the same spot--that would explain some of the neat mid-century furniture in the same space. Good deal.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be much better than Crossroads, which now only sells used Forever 21 and Limited clothing. They do not seem to be buying or selling anything vintage or decent any longer. Olivia & Trisha's new shop should do a good job of filling in that gap.
ReplyDeleteThe store also will be selling a lot of locally made clothing and accessories, and some new things too.
