The cultural ascendancy of Vietnamese food is complete.
We started with pho shops in strip malls then banh mi food trucks then Sriracha on fast food menus then fusion French-Indochina fine dining.
The final step: a soon-to-be staple for a major American consumer calendar event.
Rams, Lakers, Kings and Galaxy have wished the Dodgers luck in the World Series thus far. No love from the Chargers and Clippers but nobody really considers them LA teams anyway. LA all day baby!! #LetsGoDodgers#RamsHouse#LakeShow ##GoKingsGo

For those too young to understand what Fernando Valenzuela meant to Mexico, to Los Angeles, to baseball, here are numbers from the first eight starts of his career in 1981. He was 20. He threw a devastating screwball. And for a month, he was the biggest sports star in the world.
