Knife Wielding Chef Chases Dine & Dasher at Chiba Sushi in Canada

Chiba Sushi, Victoria BC.

A sushi chef from Victoria, Canada's Chiba Sushi was not about to let a dine-and-dasher get away with his crime: according to the Vancouver Sun, Ivan Eng chased a man down the road who skipped out on his $64 check "for several minutes" before the police intervened. Oh, and he was carrying his sushi knife the whole time.

Eng chased the man, who turned out to be a serial offender, for a few blocks, telling passing cars to call 911. Police apparently told Eng that next time he should not bring the knife with him when pursuing a criminal, which is probably a good idea. Eng told the Sun he "trusts [the thief] won't come in for dinner again."

Places to Eat at Coachella 2013

Palm Springs is world renowned for its leisurely activities. Whether in town for a weekend at one of the many luxurious spas, a few rounds of golf or taking some time to act a fool with a few friends at Coachella, Palm Springs is an out of the way gem amongst the many places to find a bit of peace and tranquility in California. With Coachella just a few days away, now is the time to put together a game plan for where you will want to eat after a few live shows, some good ol’ fashioned pushing and shoving to move through the crowds and of course some over priced drinks.

The food court is going to be amazing this year with heavyweights such as Ruths Chris, The Lime Truck, Clover Juice, Spicy Pie, Epic Burritos and our favorite Pink’s Hotdogs providing food for the masses (should you have access to the areas they may be located in.) That being said, when the lines are too long and you just can’t seem to see waiting any longer, check out a few of the great restaurants located below, because thanks to our good friends over at Eater, a list has been compiled of the local haunts you may want to check out when it comes time to refuel and escape the hipster madness.

To everyone who will be attending Coachella this weekend and the following weekend, be safe there will be a tremendous amount of police on the scene so be discrete with your methods of tom foolery and once again stay hydrated.

Questlove to open Hybrid a Fried Chicken, Dumplings & Cupcake Stand

?uestLove / QuestLove is without a doubt, one of the most amazing musicians of my lifetime, do your homework if you do not know who this man is, right now. When we heard awhile back that he was going to be opening a restaurant of some sort, we new it would be different than your average eatery who gains its fame from the celebrity name attached to the spot. 

The Brother Question has always strayed from blending in, as evidenced by the maintaining of his Afro when the trend has come and gone multiple times over the span of his 20+ years on the music scene. So when it began to be rumored that Questo of The Roots would be opening “Hybrid” a Fried Chicken, Dumplings and Cupcakes stand in New York’s Chelsea Market, it went without saying that the final result would be something flyer than your average kiosk. 

Teaming up with the highly acclaimed and accredited, Stephen Starr to open Hybrid was a genius move as well because if there is one thing Questloves partner Stephen Starr knows, its how to create a successful brand and maintain its presence in a constantly changing market.
