While hanging out in Los Angeles I got to visit some really cool places! Ive been to L.A. plenty of times, but everytime I visit, I find somewhere new to go to. When I first landed in Los Angeles Ms. Steph picked me up at the airport. She asked me was I hungry and ofcourse I was after a 4 1/2 hour flight geesh! We went to a italian restaurant called, www.cocucina.com. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and Ms. Steph got the shrimp pasta. The garlic rolls were to die for yummie!

Shrimp Pasta, looks great!

After I settled in and took a quick nap we went to interview the legendary Dustin Robertson. He has produced and edited all the latest and hip videos that you watch. You may not have known it was his work but yes he edited videos for Jennifer Lopez,Madonna,Janet Jackson and soo many others. He is in the top 5 of most sought after editors. The name of his company is called, AviddivaHollwood.He told me there was a time that he would get 20,000 a video but now that the industry has changed so much it has gone down alot. He said he loves being creative and being innovative. He is also a bodybuilder and he is training now because he has a competition coming up. He was soo kewl! I also loved his loft, very fun looking!

I also liked that fact that he lives across the street from Nickelodeon studios!

Next J.D. and I went to Venice and I remembered that I spotlighted DogtownDogs! They are a mobile hot dog business and we were right in the area where they hang out. I made a call and was able to go get some footage and try out their hotdogs. I ordered the trailer trash dogs that had chili and crushed fritos on top. J.D. got the morning commute dog with fried egg and smoked bacon. We also got buffalo tots with blue cheese, good stuff!
