Industrial is something most Long Beach residents are used to. With a port not far away, the familiarity of passing ship containers is an almost everyday sight. But SteelCraft in Bixby Knolls has found a way to reinvent those shipping containers while bringing the community together through artisan food and drink.

Some people downplay the craftsmanship that goes into the perfect chili. Some less seasoned chili-aficionados would say, “Chili is chili,” or, “If you tried one, you have tried them all.” I would have to quickly interject and shoot down that lazy blanket statement with, “Well, you haven't tried my chili.”

Most millennials nowadays can’t even boil an egg, but there’s always take-out right? There’s endless possibilities eating take-out, but maybe it’s not the best option since there are so many other things to consider while eating out.

People must be getting lazier with the rise of food-delivery services and apps appearing before our eyes. Eat24 gained popularity when Yelp bought it out (for $134 million) and has been in tight competition with GrubHub, one of the pioneers of online food ordering. Now, there are new players in the game— UberEats and Postmates.
