Chef Ilan Hall’s Sacrilegious Bacon-Wrapped Matzoh Balls 09/06/2010 by Mr. Sato
Food is another passion of ours and we’ve been lucky enough to befriend some of the best chefs in the city. Los Angeles is fast becoming a food capital where renowned chefs come to open shop and call The City of Angels home.
Today, we were fortunate enough to work with our good friend Chef Ilan Hall of The Gorbals LA who cooked up a sacrilegious dish, bacon-wrapped matzoh balls. Despite its complete disrespect for his Jewish background, the dish was the biggest draw at The LA Times Celebration of Food & Wine where over 8,000 guests wined and dined all day.
We love The Gorbals and are proud to call Ilan family.
Be sure to check out his restaurant in the lobby of the old Alexandria Hotel on 5th & Spring in the former banking district downtown where the menu changes daily. It feels just like you were in New York.

Proper Grooming for a Gentleman 09/04/2010 by Mr. Sato
Here we give you GENTRY’s take on what we suggest should always be within arms reach on your bathroom counter top.
Baxter of California SKINCARE 1.2.3 – Cleanse, tone and hydrate your skin on a daily basis with a trio of products designed to balance and control excess oil production without drying facial skin.
Baxter of California CLAY POMADE – Styling clay for men’s hair. A blend of natural clay and wax gives hold and texture to hair. Leaves hair with a matte look.
Davines No 2 Mat Moulding Gesso – Another good alternative to Baxter’s Clay Pomade for strong definition and maximum hold with a matte finish.
Byredo Parfums BAL D’AFRIQUE – A warm and romantic vetiver inspired by Paris in the late 20′s and its infatuation with African culture, art, music and dance. A mix of the Parisian avantgardism and African culture shaped a unique and vibrant expression. The intense life, the excess and euphoria is illustrated by Bal d’Afrique’s neroli, African marigold and Moroccan cedarwood.
Baxter of California Candle – Jasmin Noir – “Flammable,” one in a series of three soy wax-based candles. Produced in partnership with Joya, a trailblazer in the home fragrance design industry, with packaging design by Marc Atlan. A pack of matches from Monocle also adds a touch of class and sophistication not found with your typical Bic lighter.
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm – And just for some perspective and history, these antique pain balm bottles from Chamberlain are the perfect addition to your counter top. The company was founded in the late 19th century but truly began to flourish with various products in the 1920s, particularly with their pain balm under the moniker, Chamberlain Medicine Co.
