Stories This Week: Restaurants Old and New

This week on Sherman Oaks Patch we covered two local restaurants, one that has been in town for 31 years and another that just opened last month. And then there is the PetStaurant.

Anajak Thai is Sherman Oaks oldest Thai restaurant, it opened in the heart of the Sherman Oaks Business district in 1981.

 Owner Ricki Pichetrungsi came to America in the 1970s and his first few jobs involved working as a helper in restaurant kitchens all over Los Angeles County.

Having worked as a chef in Thailand, Ricki got a postion cooking in a Japanese restaurant, and finally he realized his dream by starting his own Thai restaurant in Sherman Oaks.

A new restaurant in Sherman Oaks opened for business three weeks ago, it's called FISHDISH and it serves a wide variety of seafood dishes at reasonable prices.

We tried the trout plate and it was quite tasty.

Finally, if you're looking for a restaurant for your dog, well you might want to check out the PetStaurant. It's a new business that sells dog food and also, "Every dog who comes into my store will be fed at no charge," said Marc Teruo Ching, standing behind the counter of the PetStaurant, which opened its doors two months ago.

As a parent who spent over 12 hours on site volunteering at CHAMPSFEST, I must say that CHAMPSRead More Parent's assessment above of the circumstances is exactly correct.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day andRead More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. HeRead More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
