Eat Out. Chick-fil-A Los Angeles.

A Chick-fil-A is now open in Los Angeles--very exciting news for people who love the chicken chain but have had to travel far and wide to find a location. They make a great simple fried chicken sandwich, as well as delicious little chicken pieces on sweet bread for breakfast, hot tasty waffle fries, and Southern sweet tea. They also have a new spicy chicken sandwich that's been advertised a lot on TV during football games lately.

There's one I stop at in Ontario, Calif. on the drive to Palm Springs, and another in the food court South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach. The mall location doesn't serve breakfast. But now there's a convenient chicken mini-serving Chick-fil-A on Figueroa, in the 'Tuscany' area near USC, across from the California Science Center.

This cute well-kept block also houses a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Chipotle, and a few other eateries.

Chick-fil-A is located at 3758 S Figueroa in Los Angeles. Info: (213) 747-8721, chick-fil-a.com. Closed Sundays.

Etc. Buy jeans, dummy.

For the last couple of weeks, I've been bombarded by Diesel's new ad campaign pasted up all around Hollywood. The tagline? "Be Stupid." They pretty it up with sayings like, "Smart listens to the head. Stupid listens to the heart," and have their whole philosophy outlined in this video:

They are also trying really hard to get people to engage with their campaign by making videos showcasing their own great acts of stupidity.

Ironically, I bet Diesel execs are patting themselves on the back for their sheer brilliance with this one. But really? I don't think it's ever a wise decision to tell your would-be customers that aligning themselves with your brand is stupid.
