LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Eye on L.A. is always looking for great stuff that's made in L.A., and this time, they've found a fashion trend that's hot. We've got SpiritHoods, great art from the cardboard artist Calder Greenwood and from glassblowing extraordinaire Cheryl Saban, and yummy snacks from People's Jerky, Spread the Love Peanut Butter and Joy & Sweets.[br /][br /]We also hit up the Arts District Brewery & Skeeball for some fun, and stop by the latest Cavalia show in Irvine, Morongo Casino Resort and Hadley's Orchards for more![br /][br /][b]CARDBOARD ARTIST[/b][br /]We first heard about him in the documentary "The Cardboard Artist," whose studio is in Downtown L.A.

They just remodeled, but they still have all the delicious dried fruits, chocolates (non-GMO) and, of course, date shakes! But they also have fresh baked breads and a deli serving up yummy sandwiches.

Lucky for us, they showed us their new High Limit Room and we got a lesson in Macau Style Squeeze Bacarat. You can order from their specialty tea room or from their long list of high-end cognacs and brandies, and even order food to enjoy tableside while you play!
