Because there’s a fantastic new gastropub-style restaurant opening in Encino, on Ventura Blvd in (basically) LA. The Elbow Room (elbowroomencinco.com) features a killer craft beer selection, absolutely scrumptious grass-fed beef burgers, ribs, and meatballs, and more—including waffle sammies. Basically, celebs are about to start faux celebs like me already frequent this not-even-open-yet culinary destination. [obvious disclaimer]…

Stronger Faster Healthier Discount Code!
I have a long, most excellent if slightly effusive post on how much I love Stronger Faster Healthier over on thisislifeinaustin.

Grass-Fed Meat
I eat only free-range, grass-fed meat, free-range chicken, and wild-caught fish. I’ve been eating this way for over 3 years, and I think it’s important for health, happiness, and the environment. When I started CrossFit about a year ago, the big thing was the Zone Diet. Well, there’s no way in hell I’m measuring and…
Where is my Snatch from?
