by Christie Grimm · March 17, 2016

    There are many reasons we love love love Ajay Sahgal. Top two? Number one: Perhaps you've read his much celebrated novel, PoolA hugely smart fictional page turner, bringing to light the all too grim realities of Hollywood culture. If not, seriously do yourself a favor and pick this puppy up. Number two: HiHo! Ajay recently partnered up with the Sugarfish guys (we know, we're already on board) to make what is the BEST cheeseburger out there. Currently, HiHo's in Ojai, but don't you worry, it's coming to LA and NY. Shake Shack and In and Out, watch your back!
