The nice folks from KTLA’s Morning News asked me to come on the air to talk about great resources for July 4th weekend eating, and I’ll be doing just that on Thursday, July 1, somewhere between 9:30 and 10 a.m. Here’s the food we’ll be showcasing: For the Grill Not only do Dan and Jim [...]
This weekend’s hotter-than-hot Dwell on Design at the Los Angeles Convention Center is devoting a significant amount of time and creative energy to food, and many of our favorite experts will be speaking. The food-lover’s day is Sunday, and it’s chock-full of good stuff, including panels on sustainable seafood, modern restaurant design, food and justice, [...]
Our colleague Pat Saperstein, an EAT: Los Angeles contributor and the proprietor of EatingLA.com, has a good piece on her site about Tom LaBonge’s misguided effort to limit food trucks, and she makes a plea for L.A. eaters to sign the petition to protect mobile vendors. Here’s how her piece starts: I know being a [...]
KCET is beefing up its website by hitting up other L.A. sites for content, and we were only too happy to support the public-television (now public multimedia) cause. Here’s what we shared with kcet.org for its Summer in LA series. Particular thanks to EAT: Los Angeles contributors Pat Saperstein and Bandini for their truck expertise. [...]
We celebrate our own anniversaries at our favorite restaurants, but the restaurant’s notable years can pass by without a blink. Here are a few L.A. greats that are celebrating milestones this year in wood (5th), china (20th), silver (25th) and pearls (30th)… or celebrating in just darn good food, with a few anniversary specials tossed [...]

But that cookie at the new Santa Monica lunch spot, Bite Bar and Bakery, from caterer-turned-restaurateur Elizabeth Goel, is more of a generous slice-and-share affair. Like all of the cookies, her coconut-macadamia nut-dried mango version is [...]
All over town, bakers are channeling their inner Betty Crockers (whether or not they don heels and aprons to cream butter and sugar) in preparation for this Sunday’s  No Cookie Left Behind Bake Sale at Scoops Gelato in East Hollywood. Its the fourth annual local version of the national Great American Bake Sale put on [...]
If you’ve been around L.A. for a few decades, or even if you just wish you’d been around, you’re not going to want to miss the new KCET special Things That Aren’t Here Anymore 3 (the first two parts were made years ago and were so popular that they still run regularly). It’s apparently a [...]
Gale Kohl, owner of the eponymous Gale’s Restaurant in Pasadena, and her friends have put together a quietly remarkable fundraising night, A Taste of Art, for the past  few years. The bustling Italian restaurant is transformed overnight into an art gallery, with dozens of works for sale at eminently reasonable prices. The parking lot is tented to hold [...]
Every year most of L.A.’s best chefs gather in a park in Culver City to feed needy children — but they do it by feeding those who can afford to pony up for a tasting fundraiser, and all the money goes to Share Our Strength, a national organization devoted to ending childhood malnutrition and hunger.
