White Rabbit "Fusion" Cafe 8316 Winnetka Ave in Canoga Park, California.
The theme for the White Rabbit's 1st brick and mortar restaurant debut of success reminds me of the new kids on the block song called You Got It (The Right Stuff baby!) Enjoy the fruits of your hardwork! White Rabbit.
November 28th 2010 marks a milestone for 3 courageous young Filipino men that had a dream of feeding Los Angeles with their twist on traditional Filipino/Mexican food with a talented chef named James Du. The other White Rabbit partners Melvin Chua who is a big part of the creativity behind their menu and keeps the press update on their food innovations, along with Mike Dimaguila who keeps the operations flowing right and gets in there to make it run correctly when the mobile kitchen gets busy.

These entrepreneurs are not afraid to get their hands dirty and make no excuses for bad days, but have had more successful days, I should know. I have followed them from their first day on the road and have watched this team successfully open up their first brick and mortar called White Rabbit "Fusion" Cafe located in Canoga Park, California at 8316 Winnetka Ave (Roscoe/Winnetka). It was a great turnout of hundreds of White Rabbit fans along with some great music by a popular LA Hip Hop band called Rhythm Natives and the Spin Master DJ JKino. Also, invited was Rick from Tropical Shave Ice who created a special concoction for the Grand Opening called "Halo Halo" a popular Filipino dessert made with Sweetened white and red beans, coconut, and jack fruit to name a few of the delicious ingredients.
