As many of you no doubt know, it’s pledge-drive season over at KCRW, 89.9 FM, and our public radio stations need us more than ever. What you might not know is that EAT: Los Angeles is helping the cause by donating books to listeners who pledge $100 or more during Evan Kleiman’s Good Food show, [...]
We’re sorry to say goodbye to Aun Deli, a lovely little Japanese café and deli on Mentor in Pasadena. Losing Aun and Siena in the same week is a sad thing for Pasadena.
EAT: LA art director Joseph Shuldiner found this collection of taco-truck photographs by Sean Finocchio.You know you want one. We certainly do. Here’s Sean’s site for more on what he’s doing: 33stewartavenue.com.
Here’s the report from Pat Saperstein:
Locali is like the opposite of Famima: instead of all the convenience items imported from Japan, the emphasis is on locally sourced products from some of our favorite producers. There’s Carmela Ice Cream, La Guera Tamalera tamales and beer from Dales Bros. and the Bruery. Although located in a compact mini-mall space on Franklin, Locali packs in a lot of [...]
Back in December, we actually wrote that Siena, a nifty Italian restaurant on Union in Old Pas, seemed like the keeper in a space where several restaurants have failed. Sadly, despite being very good and having developed a steady and growing clientele, it shut down on January 18th. Word was the landlord jacked the rent [...]

At the recent EAT: Los Angeles book signing at Stories in Echo Park, we couldn’t get enough of the crisp little Parmesan-and-shallot frico and the addictive sardines and peanuts provided by Allston Yacht Club. So after the event ended, we walked over to Allston, where the lamented 15 once lived (across from the Pioneer Chicken stand of [...]
