In recent years, the San Francisco Bay Area’s culinary scene has grown beyond the local-produce-loving-community it has become recognized for. In fact, it is steadfastly becoming the playground for renowned chefs to create some of the region’s most creative and innovative dishes. Of course, this all comes at a hefty price — many folks will find themselves breaking the bank to eat at some of the Bay Area’s most coveted restaurants. While this may be an exciting time for food enthusiasts, the accessibility to such experiences is another matter.

Well, in another episode of When the Racist Receipt Strikes, the latest comes from a CVS in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey, where a worker identified Hyun Lee as “Ching Chong Lee” on a ticket as she was picking up photos on February 7. Following the incident, Lee filed a complaint to CVS customer relations and was told that the worker would be “counseled and trained.” You know, the standard response for complaints similar to this situation.
Of course, that wasn’t enough. On April 16, a federal discrimination suit was filed, seeking $1 million from CVS. Lee’s attorney, Susan Chana Lask stated “Store counseling cannot correct intolerable discrimination” and also demanded the worker be fired.
In response, Mike DeAngelis, a representative for the CVS Caremark Corporation, did not comment on the suit, but stated the company has a non-discrimination policy: “CVS/pharmacy is committed to treating all of our customers with dignity and respect.” Well, that’s nice that you want to re-state that, buddy.
A press conference is expected to take place today.

Two days ago, America was struck with horror when explosive blasts invaded what should have been a peaceful Boston marathon. The city was sent into chaos when the blast killed three individuals and injured well over 100 people. Among the three people who met their unforeseen death at the finish line of the marathon (location of the explosions) is Chinese graduate student, Lu Lingzi. The Chinese citizen was pursuing a Mathematics and Statistics degree at Boston University. Amidst the confusion of the explosions, Lingzi was originally reported missing -sending her friends and family members on a frantic hunt for her whereabouts. It was confirmed today that Lingzi was among those fatally harmed. Our hearts and prayers go out to her loved ones and to everyone who has been affected by this horrific incident.

In You’re Beautiful, Jung Yonghwa played the love-struck Shinwoo longing for Go Mi Nam (Park ShinHye). In Heartstrings, the tables were turned when Park ShinHye‘s character Lee GyuWon finds herself falling for Lee Shin played by (you guessed it) Jung Yonghwa. Much to the delightment of their fans, the two on-screen lovebirds find themselves acting alongside one another for a third time. Who will fall for who in the new drama Heirs?
Of course, Jung Yonghwa can’t be the only heart-throb in the drama. KoreAm Coverboy (who is of course an Audrey Daily SHAG) Lee Minho will also star in Heirs. The drama is said to follow the friendships and love stories of wealthy highschool students. Heirs will be released in October 2013 and we’re beyond excited to see these three in action.
