A disarmingly ornate (chandeliers, feng shui logs) take-out shop designed by the guy behind Crustacean, Fulfilled serves pancake-like Japanese pastries stuffed with fillings savory (the prosciutto/Parmesan/basil "Sumo Italiano"), sweet (the strawberry/cream cheese/Ghirardelli white chocolate "Karaoke Kitty"), and Stefani (the Nutella/banana "Harajuku Monkey").

Tomorrow-Nov 10 at California Speedway: 9300 Cherry Ave, Fontana

Led by pro drivers, this free, 2hr demo puts you behind the wheel of the new A4 for handling exercises and racetrack laps. You'll also take spins in the A4's three closest competitors (the BMW 328 Xi, Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic, and Lexus IS 250 AWD), which you'll have to pretend you don't find attractive if you still want the A4 to have sex with you.

'Til Nov 16 at L Scorpion: 6679 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood

Get half-off at the bar (including over 160 tequilas) during selected hours at this badass photo exhibit, where flames resemble everything from aliens to screaming skulls to animals "writhing in the sun", depending on the perspective of the viewer, and the perspective of the tequila.
