Yeah, I shopped and ate there twice and just wasn't that impressed. I prefer Gelson's if we're going to go to a bougie market and somehow the food court wasn't as good as others. I didn't mind the price level but it did set a level of expectation.

We don't really do buffets but I preferred Agora over Fogo de Chao. Sucks that they left.

I like the idea of direct sales over dealer but am not sure it's very mature right now. For example, we decided we want to test drive a Rivian. We went to the Laguna store and was told that they weren't doing test drives but we could sit inside the car. In order to actually test drive the car...

We visited the new Rivian showroom in Laguna Beach this month. It is super nice as an architectural adaptive reuse but kind of odd in the sense that you cannot buy a car or place an order there. The product info people were really nice and it is a nice place to drink a coffee and next to some...

Went on a Sunday and waited 25 minutes for some pork tacos. We divided and conquered and had some seafood and Mexican sushi. The pork chicharron was insanely good but the other items were just okay. I think it's a fun way to spend a slow or lazy weekend if you treat it like Disneyland and expect...

Does anyone know a Kia dealer that will sell an EV9 without ADM, dealer extras, or F&I extras?

Dolan's: I like the meat pie. It is the size of a blaze pizza (next door) but has some really nice texture and flavors. My wife liked the noodles that are chopped to the point that they look almost like little cubes. I'm not sure that I like this type of food but I think it is a great option to...

Sounds a bit like Cravings by 99 Ranch in Chino. I like the concept and I'm not sure why it hasn't taken off more. I think the H-Mart implementation of it at Culver/Irvine Blvd is fine but could use more restaurants and more money into the actual execution of the spaces. There's also Mendo at...

You don't even have to look at China. Look at WeWork!

A lot of tech companies in general wouldn't exist without cheap money policies. It's almost as if cheap money is meant to encourage economic growth through risk-taking??

Personally I'd just get the 3 taquitos, no combo. While it is a tasty snack from time to time, it is a lot of fried food and they don't have an alternative of just like...a taco. I don't see the place lasting the test of time unless the concept changes. I would prefer just like...a chipotle...

Uhh where can you get this for $7 in Irvine?

I also rode my bike to school. I grew up a lot poorer than we are today. But now that we're living in million dollar houses that we could not have contemplated before, I feel like we've solved for a lot of our material wants but for safety. I'm not saying don't ride your bike. I think people...

I'd like to see the city take some action here to make biking safer.

Not coming to US sadly. I'm not aware of a single electric wagon option for US buyers.

If the EV truck craze is waning, maybe Ford could be bothered to cut the price on the F150 lightning? I'm still not seeing any lease deals on it: https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/f-150-lightning-reservation-ordering-discussion/391155/605

Can you comment on CRE inventory in Irvine? I have been trying to learn about that market but haven't been impressed by what I've seen on Loopnet.

No, I believe in a free market and free trade. I think that government regulation often leads to unintended consequences. The power to tax is the power to destroy. We can agree to disagree.

I think it's pretty dumb to be modeling US laws on Chinese restrictions.
