The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester New York is truly a world of Imagination. “It’s the ultimate play destination for all ages! Guests explore New York’s largest year-round cultural attraction and experience two floors – more than a city block long – of hands-on, dynamic, interactive exhibit spaces. Discover the world’s largest collection of toys, dolls, and games. The Strong is home to the National Toy Hall of Fame and the World Video Game Hall of Fame. The latest attraction is the recently opened 90,000 sq. ft. expansion.” Our playful guide is Shane Rhinewald, Senior Director of Public Relations for The Strong Museum.“Fatty Mart is Chef David Kuo’s (Little Fatty) answer to the need for an eco-conscious, fully stocked convenience store offering multicultural specialties in the heart of Mar Vista. Little Fatty offers dine-in, grab + go, and eventually will offer delivery, too. The offerings (including salivating fresh prepared ethnic foods) are inspired by the diverse food cultures of Los Angeles. Chef David has partnered with local growers to provide quality ingredients, with sustainability at the core of his mission. Chef Kuo is a first-generation Angeleno and finds inspiration from the food he grew up eating at home.  The name “little fatty” is the translation of Kuo’s childhood nickname, “xiao pang” given to him by his family.” The Head Fatty himself, Chef David Kuo, takes a brief break from his busy kitchens to join us.
