A “blow dry bar” concept created around a very simple idea: No cuts. No color. Just blowouts


The Dry Bar believes that almost everyone (even the pros) prefers having someone else blow out their hair. Why? It just looks better! They also believe there has to be a better option than paying $60+ at a traditional salon, or going to a less-than-desirable discount chain. But there’s not. So, they decided to make one. Locations: West Hollywood, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Newport Beach, Manhattan Beach & NOW Westlake Village!

UNREAL™, a new generation food company with an outrageous mission: to “unjunk” the world


UNREAL™ candies replace the junk in candy with good stuff: double the cacao, more peanuts, real milk, cane sugar, and organic palm fruit oil. Naturally, without all this junk, we think their candy tastes better!  But UNREAL™ also has substantially less sugar and fat, fewer calories, and more protein than other leading candies. UNREAL’s™ goal is not only to be a company, but to be a catalyst-to encourage the other candy manufacturers to get rid of the junk, too. This summer, they’re unjunking a few feet of your local candy aisle. In five years, their vision is an entire aisle of unjunked candy-no matter which company gets the sale.

Is your Jr. Chef ready to learn about savory umami? 
 
Discussion with lots of information and ideas for use of anchovies – as salt, as flavor-enhancer, as that “extra something.” Good time to talk about “going off-recipe” and experimenting. Try adding umami to familiar dishes and keep notes about what was memorable and what was not. Parental supervision.
