    Seriously... he has to be sarcastic about this. It doesn't make sense. We don't enforce jaywalking and you can't think Ralph's is better than Trader Joe's, even if you go to the ritzy Ralph's.

    Funny, most of pop culture describes L.A. as a spiritually barren hellscape, populated with desperate, craven shells of human beings.

    I suggest pretending your are Maggie Cheung in Irma Vep, running around Paris rooftops in a latex catsuit.

    I prefer Vons, and I would have pegged Tim as a Gelson's or Bristol Farms man, but if he says Ralph's, why then, perhaps I need to switch it up.


    I need to read this interview - I wonder if he strolled along to the Tar Pits after the museum. A lame tourist spot to most, but seriously my favorite part of LA. It's the most bizarre site- huge pits of bubbling tar right off of Wilshire- who could ask for anything more??

    I realize that Tim has lived and worked in New York for years, but I still have trouble picturing him taking the subway. Such a crowded mess of people....I would have assumed that he just walked or took a taxi.

    Wait, I just read his take on Hong Kong:

    It has all of the exoticism that one naturally associates with South Asia, yet its 150 years of British reign have left it with a Western flavor of infrastructure. That means that for the visitor it's a user-friendly environment.


    I;ve never been to Asia, so maybe I'm not getting something...if Hong Kong were never colonized then it would just be chaos and unnavegable to the average Westerner? Thailand was never colonized and it boasts a significant tourism industry...I iz confused...

    @Rosaxe: I take no exception to this description. If you've been to places like Thailand or even China, Hong Kong is definitely easier for an English speaker to get around in. Figuring out things like internet, transportation, traffic is miles and away easier. I wouldn't hesitate to describe the traffic in Bangkok and Beijing as "barely organized chaos" myself.

    @KidPresentable: I agree with you. I've been to HK a few times, and it's just easier than a lot of other Asian cities.


    And the Conrad in HK? That place is heaven on earth.

    I will no longer despise making trips to Ralphs, I will just imagine Tim Gunn is there with me, telling me how to "make it work" with only $40 for groceries, and diet coke is not on sale.


    My mom insists on pronouncing Ralphs like "Rafe's" as in Ralph Fiennes. It does have an elegance to it.

    Well he ain't lived until he goes to a Jon's at 6pm on a weeknight.

    I get quite a buzz off of Fresh & Easy myself.


    Also, I'm sure Tim Gunn probably wouldn't wrinkle his fabulous wardrobe in this way, but L.A. has the best parks and hiking trails evah. Finally got to Franklin Canyon this weekend, and I could barely believe I was surrounded by bazillions of people on all sides.
