Today’s lunch was a soup-fest. Instead of one bowl of soup, jungle[8] treated themselves to the usual awesome salad and two bowls of soup each. One bowl held a helping chicken noodle, the other tomato. The flavors were anything but ordinary and spiced to perfection.
As do most lunch events at jungle[8], the lunch conversation covered […]

Today’s lunch was another homerun. Not surprisingly, Nora Bouaziz was involved. The other half of this culinary super-duo was Lainie Liberti, making a rare appearance in the kitchen. Her avoidance of the kitchen has nothing to do with Women’s Lib, rather, Lainie’s usually glued to the computer with a massive workload and simply doesn’t have […]
Supposing that a museum of natural history could be something other than a collection of old fossils and sediment stratification charts…
that it could be cool…
So why not go on a Friday night?
The First Fridays events, launched by the Natural History Museum of LA in an attempt to cross breed visitor demographic between parents and children, […]
Today’s talk over lunch at Barbara’s was a wild one indeed. Barbara’s—known for elegant greasy American food—was particularly slow today, which fueled the fervor of our lunchtime conversation. Our first topic was Armand Hammer and whether or not the guy that owns that museum on Wilshire Blvd. had anything to do with Arm and Hammer […]
Today’s lunch was an entertaining mix of four different pizzas, the visit of a French couch surfer, an over-lunch brainstorming meeting for a new campaign for a bay area client, a lesson in pronouncing the term “Episcopalian”, a gourmet cheese plate, the different politically-correct terms for types of different native Spanish speakers, a boss-intern spontaneous […]
Today’s lunch brought forth a question: At what point does a salad have too many different ingredients? Our salad contained spinach, random mixed greens, sliced muenster cheese, diced mushrooms, strawberries, chopped carrots, tomato wedges, potato shrapnel and hard-boiled egg fragments, to name a few. In total mass, the extras (non leafy food matter) outweighed the […]
As jungle[8] moves through space-time into the last 18 months of the first decade of the new millennium, it’s time to reminisce about a decade of political activism in the jungle. Most notably, jungle[8] went offline 4 separate times to commemorate political activism and/or participate in actual protests. In 2003, jungle[8] went on a field […]
My first day at jungle [8] was certainly eventful. I was ready to go food hunting when Lainie decided to assign me and Tuan-Ching to lunch duty. Being the accomplished chef (not really) that I was, naturally I jumped at the opportunity to put my talents on display. I was glad to […]
jungle[8] kin PlanJam got front page billing at CampusCircle.com! The article tells the story of how college students, Kristen and Garret, attendees of USC and UCLA respectively, overcame their schools’ bitter rivalry, snuck behind enemy lines, and planned successful dates with PlanJam. Wanna read the article from a pdf, that’s good too. Either way, check […]
