Holy CRAP! How do I ALWAYS forget our #illegalandunderground #anniversary (5.17.09) back when we were scrappy+happy serving on our back patio, then got "caught" by the health dept and brought it "black-ops" inside our apt, got so busy we had to take reserved pre-orders (in 15 min increments) and the OG mascot #GQtheWonderDog was still alive, well...and wearing mullets for a better tomorrow. 🇺🇸 #weaintdeadyet but we can't forget our past either. "CHEERS" to those good times, and KANPAI to the hopefully crazier times ahead #fuckYEAH 😱😭😂😝🙌👍😆😘 #starrykitchen #est2009 #memories #cantbelievewemadeitthisfar (at revenge of lionel richie listening tour)

#VIVASTARRYKITCHEN #tbt +attach that Napolean Dynamite time machine to your 'nads (OUCH!) and go back to the #illegalandunderground SK 5 yrs ago when we could fit in a tiny apt: 10 ppl comfortably, 35 ppl incredibly uncomfortably... and had 130+ ppl come thru in-and-out within the span of 3 hrs on our last night before we went "legit" (with almost as many shoes lined up around our door because we ASIAN aka the #noSHOESrule fools 👍😭) #goodTIMES #SKhistory 😂😂😂🎉🇺🇸 (at revenge of lionel richie listening tour)

There are 3 reasons why I F'ING LOVE LA @GOOD: the beaches (especially w/ my doggies 🐶); SO many diff kinds of amazing ppl👪; and where else could a weird guy in a banana suit w/ a megaphone ask ppl to #enjoyourballsinyourmouth and start an #illegalandunderground restaurant and actually thrive??? LA, that's where! 👍😭🇺🇸🙇🙇🙇 The peeps at @GOODHQ wanna hear from all y'all why YOU love LA (or anywhere for that matter). Let em know+spread the word ^_^ #GOODcitiesproject (at revenge of lionel richie listening tour)
