Food 🌮

Winner of the cleverest name: Sacks OTB.

Locally owned, and brilliantly titled.

Plus, the sandwiches are FIRE.

And I’ve heard rumors that the lunch specials are killer, too.

You can check out their menu here

There are 2 locations.

Sacks “On The Beach” and Sacks “In the City” — gonna keep it PG here, but do you see why the names are freaking hilarious?

Local Business Spotlight 💡

If a picture says a thousand words — how many words does a video say?

The point is…

If you're in need of some legit photo or video work, check out DP Visual Media.

My guy Dylan is a lifelong SB resident.

For the last 10 years, he’s been the Director of Photography at Studio 637, and he’s now running his own studio. He works with ecommerce brands to create fuego ads, musicians for SICK music videos, and even universities for advertising.

Basically, if it’s shot through a lens, Dylan does it.

When he’s not behind the camera, he’s smashing the drums (self-taught prodigy). My wife is already swooning. Back off Dylan!

But for real, if you need anything video or photo related, here’s his website.

Know someone who runs a local business in the South Bay? We’d love to feature them. Reply to this email & give me some backstory.

Yes, I’m a real person & yes I read the emails you send me
