King Friday - now with talk about business trips to LA
March 23rd, 2007 @ 5:01 am

The King was in LA for FIVE days last week for business. And by “business” I totally mean living the Entourage lifestyle on the company’s dime. He may/may not have even (literally) run into someone famous. But that’s his story to tell. Maybe next week, King?

And if you want to read my interview with the always lovely Carrisa, you can check it out here.

Let me just say that if you are in the Los Angeles area, you should be eating at the Geisha House on Hollywood and Cherokee. It is hands down, the best sushi that I’ve ever had. Try the Spicy Tuna with Crispy Rice or the Cowboy Roll. Its like raw fish candy. The front door is a little daunting even for someone as comfortable with themselves as I am. (Read about my Rod Stewart experience or my public nudity.)

The line outside and all the fancy cars and people on phones is a bit much. But once you get inside, you are whisked away to, well, a bar that resembles just about any other bar in the Hollywood area. With a couple of girls dressed as Geishas wandering around.

Its not the staff you are watching though. Its the crowd. Lot’s of people that are probably someone, but not someone enough that you will recognize them, as well as lots of people that think they are someone but are even less of someone than the previously mentioned someones. Fun people watching. And the food. Its really worth sitting in what is basically the middle of a dance floor complete with blaring music and live DJ. Dinner for 6 was something to the tune of 600-800 bucks, but who cares. I wasn’t paying.

Next time I’ll get a plate of that Crispy Rice and just gobble them up like french fries. Maybe even get some to go.

Viva Hollywood.

    No trip to Venice Beach? That haunt always completes a LA trip, keyword trip.

    Cheers

    Never been out west. I would love to go to LA, but, apparently I will not be eating while I am there.

    My company is treating me and the wife, to 4 nights at the Wynn in Vegas this weekend. Nothing quite like eating whatever you want, whereever you want and having somebody else pay for it. Crashers welcome.

    I am jealous of Rob. Eat at a buffet for me.

    Vegas is calling my name.

    If I am ever in Hollywood, which I probably won’t be, but if I am, I’ll make The Geisha House my first sushi experience.

    My husband was in Los Angeles at the beginning of the month for business, too, but he didn’t enjoy the company of any Geishas. Poor Luke!
