Ohana poke co

celebrates 1 year

ne Year Ago, Eric Park totally revamped his

specialty Banh mi HERO SHOP located at the Historic PE Lofts on 7th and Los Angeles. Today, instead of his delicious Bánh mì sandwich concept, when visiting his location, you can choose from the highest quality Poké bowl combinations instead. The question is...Has Park finally come up with the perfect recipe and restaurant concept for DTLA?

Food fight: ohana poke co.

july 30 - aug 6 ono-kine-grindz (REALLY GOOD FOOD!!!) Totally different and totally Ono-kinegrindz, Park’s new Ohana Poké Co. menu is full of interesting nuances that add a bit more depth to his new restaurant’s flavor. Ohana Poké Co. serves the need for healthier options in the downtown food scene that he didn’t want to miss out on and poké filled that niche just perfectly. When Ohana Poké Co. opened it was the first poké shop in downtown LA.

elebrating his 1 Year Anniversary as Chef, Operator, and concept designer of Ohana Poké Co, Eric Park doesn’t regret the decision he made to revamp the Hero Shop to Downtown’s number one Poké Bowl outlet, one bit.

FROM HERO TO POKEMON The past 5 years, the DTLA food scene had become very vibrant and active. Park knew he wanted to be a part of that, so Hero SHOP was born. As innovative as it was tasty, Hero Shop became the first chef driven Bánh mì concept in Los Angeles. The exotic flavors, bold ingredients and delicious meats were all served in a flaky baguette with enough meat, and exciting flavors, so perfectly portioned, Hero Shop grew a steady fanbase among the people of Downtown in a very short time.

But is running a Poke restaurant easier than running a hero shop? Yes and No. Harder to cook but easier to sell, Park says it takes more time to prepare, as he and his staff dice hundreds of pounds of fresh fish each week, and to top it off (no pun intended) the sauces may be a lot more complicated then found in traditional dishes, with hints of ingredients like, ginger and sugar that may remind you of tradition but still take you to the edge of his culinary imagination. “As a chef I have been able to source the highest quality Bigeye Tuna, Canadian Salmon, Braised Octopus, and Organic Tofu. Wild-caught and sustainably sourced whenever possible mixed with the highest quality rice, produce and ingredients, I have developed some seriously delicious poké recipes. And it has been highly successful”, said Park.

IT’S ALL ABOUT FAMILY!

Remember Ohana means family. The time it took to market such an unique concept was taking too much time away from Park had some amazing offers to choose family, and with the new concept and from like the Spice and Sour Chicken supportive staff, Park can enjoy more time made with Jidori Farms chicken breast. It was roasted, then shredded and tossed spent with his two young children... ”It’s all about the people who work with with lime, fish sauce, thai chili, garlic, you. They have to work well together and ginger… It was so delicious. be genuinely good people…no bad apples. This is a family business. My wife, my kids Ericsson and Emma, and I thank Even though Park’s specialty was Bánh you, our extended family, for loving and mì, in July of 2015, he decided to re-con- supporting what we are doing in DTLA!” cept his Hero Shop location. Not only did Park wants to open another Ohana, but he change the Hero Shop to Ohana Poké isn’t looking into making Ohana a major Co, he opened another Ohana Poké Co in franchise just yet. He’s more interested in Silver Lake, just two months later, bring- opening locations in untapped markets of ing his flavorable experiences from Hawaii Los Angeles, one shop at a time, allowing within Hawaiian Style poké bowls to the him to enjoy his family’s favorite yearly people. vacation spot on the North Shore of his favorite island - Oahu, Hawaii. Aloha!

AND THAT WENT ON FOR A WHILE….

Then he morphed!!!

Its such a great feeling to spend New Year’s Eve with Angeleno’s and come together to mourn the loss of such musicians like Prince. It’s becoming a magical spot for us all here in Los Angeles.” Maceo comes across as a talented openhearted musician, who wouldn’t mind sticking around to witness the end of homelessness in DTLA. When asked about what changes he would make, he stated, “I would love to see us all help with the homeless in downtown. There are so many people that just need a little help getting back on their feet. There are children, war veterans, and folks that just had it too tuff that we can help out. We should stop

College, but if you ever want to actually explore the past up close and personal, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never have a better opportunity to broaden the scope of your understanding than you will when visiting any of the history museums of Downtown Los Angeles. Here are 10 Great Places to find priceless artifacts from fossils to crossbows that solidify the stories so many of us have read about in history books.

JAPANESE AMERICAN NATIONAL MUSEUM SUITCASES FROM THE INTERNMENT CAMPS

10 great places Japanese American National Museum (JANM)

The Japanese American National Museum is the first and largest museum in the United States dedicated to sharing the experience of Japanese American ancestry, and just as the Museum showcases the amazing works of famed and contemporary Japanese artists, historical exhibitions, and cultural events, it does hold the spirit of sadness as reflected by a time in history when Japanese Americans were persecuted, and abandoned by the American population it once so tenaciously yearned to be apart of. Here are the stories of the first generation immigrants, or Issei, who emigrated first to Hawaii when it was American-controlled but not yet one of the United States, in 1885. Looking to escape hard times in Japan, they came as paid laborers for the Hawaiian sugar plantations. At the same time, Japanese students immigrated to San Francisco. Attracted by the image of America as a country that welcomes foreigners, when they first arrived in the U.S., they had not intended to live here permanently, but rather to learn from

july 30 - aug 6 Americans and to bring that knowledge back home. Yet, in the coming years, their American dream would become a nightmare as Japan joined the Axis forces of WWII, bombed Pearl Harbor, and set off a mass hysteria against Japanese Americans, who found themselves stripped of the majority of personal belongings and real estate property, sent far away from their established neighborhoods and forced into labored internment camps to wait out the outcome of the war. Their artifacts, photographs, written records before, during, and after the World War II mass incarceration are housed at JANM in very haunting and telling exhibits. Just over 130,000 Issei and their 2nd generation of American-born Japanese American citizens, the Nisei who represented around 60 percent, were held until January 1944. The Civil Liberties Act of 1988 provided an official apology and reparations to thousands of eligible Japanese Americans who were unlawfully forced from their homes by the U.S. government during World War II. Their stories of condemnation and liberation resurrect haunting memories of prejudices that can threaten liberty and equality in a democratic society. 100 N Central Avenue, LA, CA 90012

DTLA-WEEKLY.COM African American History Museum

Designed by African American architects, Jack Haywood and the late Vince Proby, the California African History Museum was opened to the public during the Olympic Games of July 1984. Today, CAMM houses artifacts that â&#x20AC;&#x153;allow us to trace the African American experience from the western shores of Africa to the rural fields of the southern United States,â&#x20AC;? and later migrations. On exhibition are collections of historic African objects, including garments, weapons, art, and dioramas coupled with African American artifacts dating back over 400 years. Every aspect of African American History is identified with, from submission to rebellion, from the shores of Virginia to the shores of Normandy. Guest exhibits fill in the gaps with film, art, music and new discoveries. Together, the chilling remnants of binds and shackles from slavery lead to a culture of perseverance and accolades of accomplishments forever being enhanced and endorsed by a nation, strong enough to break those chains. 600 State Drive, Exposition Park.

Washington area of Los Angeles, just a few miles north of Downtown, this collection deals mainly with Native Americans including exhibits dedicated to the American Indians of the Great Plains, California, and the Northwest Coast. Native Americans are indigenous to the America’s, consist of numerous distinct tribes, bands, and ethnic groups, and have suffered greatly since the end of the 15th century when the Europeans first decided to live out their Manifest Destiny on American soil. After countless wars, shifting alliances, political tension, social disruption and the onslaught of European diseases, great loss of life for the indigenous populations were manifested in attempts to “civilize and assimilate”, which eventually led to the majority of the population being forced off their native lands onto the Indian Reservations we know of today. In 1830, the U.S. Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, authorizing the government to relocate Native Americans which over time, forced a series of treaties and land cessions by the tribes resulted in ethnic cleansing mixed in with brutal, forced marches which came to be known as The Trail of Tears. Here are the reminders of a proud people; objects from those wars and massacres, dioramas, arrow heads, pottery, hides, artistry, ritual, information of agricultural systems, and the overall examining of their complex social systems. Yet, beneath the soil remain the shameful reminders of what our nation seems to still be dealing within its quest to become the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. 234 Museum Dr, LA, CA 90065.

Chinese American Museum (CAM)

Symbolically housed in the oldest and last surviving structure of Los Angeles, the Garnier Building, once known as the unofficial “city hall” built in 1890, CAM holds the last missing pieces of Downtown’s original Chinatown. After restoration of the dilapidated Garnier Building, on December 18, 2003, the

nia Gold Rush of 1848–1855 and continued onto larger labor projects, namely the building of the First Transcontinental Railroad. Artifacts from this time may be found on exhibit at CAM. In Downtown, Chinese inhabitants totaled about 200 in Old Chinatown back when the population began to proliferate and by the 1910’s there were over 3000 people in the community. By then the congested alleyway in which the small community had first started off, had expanded past Alameda Street, Old Chinatown being where Union Station sits today.

In the years to follow, Old Chinatown had become a prosperous society. The area had well loved temples, restaurants, a grocery store, a theater as well as commercial space and residential buildings. But the Chinese American would deal with strong prejudicial attitudes expressed against them, the Old Chinatown Massacre of 1871 and the Chinese Exclusion Acts of 1882-1943. For years, many legal battles were fought over the land and the relocation of Chinatown’s residents. During that time Chinatown’s residents were being evicted and had nowhere to go. With plans to finance and maintain their own land, the Chinese came together in a legal and financial battle to establish a new Chinatown, just north of Caeser Chavez Ave, as we know it today. Delicate, faded photographs and yellowing letters from loved ones in China as elderly Chinese Americans share their

You want to go back? You can go all the way back to Prehistoric Pangaea at the National History Museum. The Age of the Dinosaur is brought back into existence, with Dinosaur Hall, “one of the most extraordinary dinosaur exhibits in the world, and the premier dinosaur experience in the western United States.” 300 real fossils, 20 complete dinosaurs and ancient sea creatures that may or may not still exist beneath the deep. The permanent exhibition, Becoming Los Angeles, tells a 500-year story about Southern California and how Mexican independence from Spain. This changed the way Californians traded with the world and also triggered permanent ongoing environmental change called Los Angeles, with the beginnings of a tiny pueblo to the makings of Downtown’s Mega Metropolis. 900 Exposition Blvd, LA, CA 90007.

Korean American Museum

The first Koreans began coming to the Americas in the 1880s and like many immigrants, faced discrimination by the U.S. Government. By 1924, the Immigration Act was part of a measured system that kept Korean immigrants from coming the US. Finally, with the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, Koreans became one of the fastest growing Asian groups in the United States. Los Angeles has emerged as a major center of the Korean American community, it’s “Koreatown” just a few miles west of the epicenter of Downtown. The Korean American Museum interprets and preserves their history, culture, and achievements; examining and discussing current issues, exploring innovative ways to communicate the Korean American experience fostering and hoping to advance Korean American culture. 3727 W 6th St #519, LA, CA 90020.

El Pueblo de Los Angeles

july 30 - aug 6 The Avila Adobe was built in 1818 and is the oldest surviving residence in Los Angeles. It is located in the paseo of Olvera Street made of walls 2½ to 3 feet thick. The U.S. Navy Commodore Robert Stockton took it over as his temporary headquarters when the United States decided to take Los Angeles from Mexico in 1846. The Plaza Substation was part of the electric streetcar system operated by the Los Angeles Railway. Completed in 1904, the substation provided electricity to power the yellow streetcars.

SULU’APE

si’i li’fau

he bearer of the Sulu’ape title holds the highest honor of carrying out the revered tradition of the Polynesian art of tatau or tattoo. To be truly skilled or to be what Samoans refer to as a Tufuga, a tatau, an apprentice must build-up the robust vocabulary of the tatau symbols of Samoan villages. This week, Sulu’Ape Si’i Li’ Fau brings Tattoo by Sulu‘ape Steve Looney Photo by John Agcaoili tribal tradition to DTLA.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

imilarly, to become an inheritor of such marks, use to only come by way requests from parents and family members ready to subject a younger family member to the painstaking yet deeply symbolic ritual of tatau. For Men, a standard tatau undertaking called malofie covers an entire man’s lower torso from knees up to the lower belly and could take months if not years to finish. For women it is named malu. Carrying such marks is a prideful gesture and shows commitment to Fa’asamoa or the Samoan Way of Life. This coming July 30, 2016, the Japanese’s American National Museum (JANM) is set to follow the success of Perseverance: Japanese Tattoo Tradition in the Modern World exhibit with yet another authoritative showcase on traditional tattoos. Mr. Takahiro Kitamura, the famed curator of Perseverance, comes back to spearhead yet another fascinating exhibit on the same subject. The upcoming exhibit entitled Tatau: Marks of Polynesia, highlights one of the world’s most enduring tattoo legacies manifested through works by surviving masters or Tufuga ta tataus. The exhibit brings to life the tatau traditions from two of the prominent Samoan lineages practicing their culture’s highly revered craft of tattooing—the Tulou’ena and the Su’a family. The Su’a practice the Tatau on Upolu while the Tulou’ena does so on Savai’i. The Sulu’ape family, under the Su’a name, are among the many artists featured in Tatau. Namely, the prominent Su‘a Sulu‘ape Alaiva‘a Petelo, Su‘a Sulu‘ape Peter, Su‘a Sulu‘ape Paul Jr., Su‘a Sulu‘ape Aisea Toetu‘u, Sulu‘ape Steve Looney, Tuigamala Andy Tauafiafi, Mike Fatutoa, and Los Angeles-based Sulu‘ape Si‘i Liufau. Sulu’ape Si’i Li’fau who enthused about the impending unveiling of Tatau has played an active role in the culmination of the exhibit. We spoke to Tufuga Li’fau briefly about the upcoming Exhibit.

How did you first get started? And how long did it take for you to get your Sulu’ape title?

How did you get involved with Tatau: Marks of Polynesia?

When you’re not doing tattoos what do you do?

Mr. Kitamura has had the idea for this project about the same time as Perseverance was being planned. As one of the most widely recognizable tattooing cultures, we knew early on that we were going to execute the Tatau, it was just a question of when.

I enjoy fishing, surfing, and hanging out with my kids (He had just finished watching his daughter’s basketball game before this interview). “I’m looking forward to introducing Los Angeles residence, to an aspect of the Samoan culture that our people are very proud of” declared Si’i Lifau. Particularly,

Ironically, I started learning about the tatau craft because I was motivated to finish a bad tattoo that was started on me, 10 years ago. The duration of finishing an apprecentiship varies for each student. It took me about 7 years of apprenticeship to be bestowed the title of Tufuga a Tatau or Sulu’ape. Mainly because, geographically I didn’t live close to a Sulu’ape, so I had to travel back and forth to Polynesia to continuously to complete my education.

TATTOO BY Sulu‘ape Si‘i Liufau

Do you have a malofie yourself? I do have a malofie done by Su’a Sulu’ape Lafaele in 2009.

Where were you born? And where do you live? I was born in St Joseph’s Hospital in Orange County, CA. My Samoan father and my mother who was a German girl from Minnesota raised me in the OC. (He owns A-Town Tattoo off Brookhurst Street and Garden Grove Boulevard).

the exhibit will feature the works of notable elder Su’a Sulu’apes “and it is such an honor to have their works on display” said Si’i Lifau. Whereas contemporary methods and diaspora have influenced the art of tatau significantly, the practice goes back some 2000 years ago, through some of the most beautiful works of Samoan Sulu’apes. The densely symbolic works of the modern day Sulu’apes showcased through captivating photographs of their subjects. There is only about a dozen or so Sulu’apes the world over. Most of whom reside in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and islands across Polynesia.

Tatau: Marks of Polynesia will be open to the public from July 30, 2016 to January 8, 2017. Through the duration of the exhibit, there will be lectures, performances, and special viewings for the audience to get involved with. The exhibit aims to replicate the success of Perseverance by possibly transforming this exhibit into a traveling one. “Hopefully, we can feature a female Tufuga in the next exhibit, that would be really amazing” added Si’i Lifau.

Are The Clippers Leaving THE STAPLES CENTER?

he Los Angeles Clippers are exploring the possibility of moving out of Staples Center, and building a new Arena. Owner Steve Ballmer is tired of playing “third tenant” behind the Los Angeles Lakers and the LA Kings. AEG owns the Staples Center where the Clippers haven’t always felt the love.

he Los Angeles Clippers have been playing at Staples since the 19992000 season, in the shadow of the purple and gold. From new jerseys, to a new mascot, the organization has taken several steps to forge their own legacy as the team is on the cusp of an NBA Title. Even going so far as to block out the Laker Championship banners during home Clippers games. Inglewood, Downtown LA and Westwood are the potential spots for a new arena. Chuck the Condor might have a new place to spread his wings!
