A Michelin-Starred Brewpub From Chicago Is Popping Up in Beverly Hills
Moody Tongue, a brewery and restaurant group in Chicago that boasts a Michelin star for its tasting menu counter, is popping up inside the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills from June 13 to September 14. During the pop-up, Moody Tongue will take over the Four Seasons' lounge to offer its high-end sushi with Tokyo-meets-LA beer pairings from chef Hiromi Iwakiri. Founded by Jared Rouben, Moody Tongue debuted a 14-seat counter in 2020 that eventually earned two Michelin stars (it's been demoted to one since) under the direction of chef Jared Wentworth (previously of Michelin-starred gastropub Longman & Eagle). In February 2023, Moody Tongue opened a sushi restaurant in New York City and expanded to West Palm Beach earlier this year.
Inventive sushi dishes include Ora King salmon with black truffle and mushroom duxelle, and a scallop hand roll with snap peas and corn. Moody Tongue will serve its Asian-influenced beers, such as juiced lychee IPA and pressed Asian pear saison aged in Sangiovese wine barrels. Creative sushi preparations with non-traditional ingredients have been commonplace in Los Angeles for decades; the California roll was allegedly invented here in the 1960s, while more recently, Encino's Sushi by Scratch has taken the Americanized omakase format to new heights. Reservations for Moody Tongue Sushi in Beverly Hills can be made here. No more cream tops at these cafes
The Los Angeles Times has a story on how cafes in the city are tiring of serving cream tops over their carefully crafted coffee drinks. Places like Maru in Arts District and Mandarin in Pasadena are removing the add cream top option as a resistance against the dominance of the sweet, creamy float. Mariah in LA for Pride Month

21 Wholesome "Childish" Habits Adults Refuse To Give Up
Recently, Reddit user u/TroubleEarly7249 asked, "What's your 'I don't care how old I am, I'm still doing this' thing?" So, according to adults, here are some of their favorite "childish" things that they'll never stop doing: "Going down the slide when I bring my kids to the playground." "I'll forever drink Capri-Suns and eat popsicles. My Asian immigrant parents say it's childish of me." "Drinking chocolate milk." "Enjoying silly little craft projects. I, for instance, find it relaxing to lie on my stomach on the floor and do Perler bead art in my spare time. Like these owls. I'm 33 years old and have been told I'm too old for this, but it's honestly like meditation to me after work." "Whenever I move out to my own place, I'm gonna get myself a really nice wooden train set; playing with trains has always been so fun and calming to me, and I can't wait." "Neopets! I don't have my account from my childhood, but I made a new one a few years back with the same animal Korbat (the mouse/bat) I had. It really relaxes me on my lunch break; I feed him an omelet while I eat as well. "I'm 50, and I build houses in The Sims. No shame. Also, I'm currently re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia because everything's rubbish and I want to be happy." "I always wear hair clips. I don't care about my age! Hair clips are fun! I will forever keep up with the glitters and the sparkles!" "Dressing up how I want to and having fun with my hair, makeup, clothing, etc. I currently have red highlights in my hair, and I still feel badass at 39 years old." "I will still sometimes get up at six in the morning on Sundays, sit in the living room, and watch TV while eating stuff that's technically not breakfast food." "Having a 'kid's dinner' brings me so much joy. It's easy, it's tasty, and I can upgrade my drink to a white wine now." "Video Games." "I still enjoy stepping on crunchy leaves. There's something so satisfying about the sound and the feel. It brought me so much joy as a kid, and it still does as an adult." "I still watch Arthur reruns! It's literally on PBS kids, but I still think it's hilarious and nostalgic." "Sleep with my stuffed animal." "Coloring. It's relaxing and gets me off my phone." "Building Lego sets." "Ballet. I hope to be en pointe by next year!!!" "EDM shows. I will be the rave grandma one day!" "Riding the shopping cart through the parking lot like it's a scooter." And finally, "Blasting music in the car and singing my heart out. I don't care if I get weird looks." What other "childish" things do you still do that really aren't childish at all? Let us know in the comments!

Alyssa Chia elated to team with Hiroshi Abe for Japanese high-tech heist film
23 Jun - Alyssa Chia recently expressed elation to be a part of the Japanese movie, "Candlestick". The actress, who plays the role of a senior executive of a Taiwanese company in the movie, revealed during the premiere in Tokyo that the main reason she took the challenge was because no one has ever asked her to play this kind of villainous role before. "Another very important reason was that I was able to work with Japanese film king, Hiroshi Abe and that the film is about a highly complex AI financial fraud, which is very challenging," she said. On the other hand, Hiroshi, who also attended the premiere, said that the film has a lot of English dialogues in it, and that he is amazed by Alyssa's ability to digest the script so quickly and interpret it very well. "It's amazing. I look forward to working with her again," he confessed. Based on the novel "Soshikiri: FX Simulation Success Story" by Tetsuhiko Kawamura, "Candlestick" follows Nohara, a former genius white hat hacker who plots to deceive the impregnable AI that is the "guardian of the financial market" and make a fortune in the FX market after losing everything. It co-stars Nanao, Kenjiro Tsuda and Austin Lin among others. (Photo Source: Alyssa IG)

Prada wants to change the conversation away from aggression, toward gentleness
MILAN (AP) — With global tensions escalating, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons want to change the conversation to something gentle, calm and nice with their menswear collection for next summer, previewed during Milan Fashion Week on Sunday. 'We tried to make a change of tone, from powerful to gentle, calm,'' Prada said after the show. 'Basically, the opposite of aggression, power, nastiness.'' 'Sometimes it is good to reflect, and be a bit more calm,'' added Simons, her co-creative director. Innocence reimagined In that vein, the pair's latest menswear collection recalled childish innocence, opening with short shorts that were more precisely elasticized briefs, with pleated pockets, worn with a sturdy, sure-footed shoe and black sock and a crisp white buttoned-down shirt with a naive print of a sun and waves. These panty-shorts were paired also with leather coats, long cotton shirts or fringed knitwear that give men access to the pant-less look already embraced by some female celebrities. Freedom in form and color A more serious double-breasted suit was worn with the sleeves pushed up in a get-to-work gesture layered over track jackets. Track pants with a side stripe or straight, cropped cotton trousers otherwise anchored the looks with leather jackets, car coats or knitwear. Urban looks ensembles paired with backpacks and flip-flops, on the verge of the getaway. Light, summer looks were finished with loafers. Nothing was completely office, and nothing was completely beach. The silhouette was deliberately unstructured, and the color palette broad and undefined. Gray, black, khaki and navy were offset by red, sky blue, lime green and turquoise and purple, monochromes mixing casually, as if to say, any way you want. 'We wanted everything to be human in its dimension, to be light and fresh and colorful,'' Simons said. Playful, with a shadow There was humor, even whimsy, in bright cone-shaped woven raffia hats that recalled a shuttlecock, some with strands of raffia feathering over the eyes as if a shade. In the spirit of change, the showroom was left deliberately raw, with concrete and orange beams exposed and sunlight streaming through the high windows. Childlike daisy-shaped rugs were the only decoration. 'We are always very aware of that,'' Prada said. 'Good luck to everyone.'' Celeb frenzy Outside the Prada Foundation showroom, hundreds of fans screamed for the arrival of Asian pop group TransfOrmProject, South Korean actor Lee Do-hyun and Japanese singer Sana. Also on hand were English-Ghanaian rapper Stormzy, NBA star Anthony Edwards and actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Harris Dickinson.
