Eat-la.com is the online companion to the book EAT: Los Angeles.

Every day you’ll find something to whet your appetite: a Discovery (markets, restaurants, taco stands, cheese shops, wine bars, web sites…), a Deal (real deals, not PR stunts), an Event and our Short List for food lovers, from L.A.’s best finds for beer lovers to its best places for lobster.

Also explore our dozen Good Food Neighborhoods, walking (and sometimes driving) tours of destination neighborhoods for food lovers, from Culver City to Boyle Heights, Little India to Little Tokyo. Finally, don’t miss our carefully curated selection of 8 great blogs for L.A. food lovers.

Best of all, you can search the book’s rich database of some 1,100 shops, restaurants, cafés, services and events.

No matter how much great information we share with you online, I’m sure you’ll still want to hold the little green book in your hands — and no car should be without a copy. You’ll find it at bookstores, cheese shops, wine shops, markets, gift shops and right here. If your favorite store doesn’t carry it, please ask them to!

We also want to hear from you! If you have opinions, please post your comments. And please consider subscribing. We’re all in this together.

Thanks for joining the EAT: Los Angeles community. Together we can help L.A.’s most passionate, talented and dedicated food people — chefs, bakers, wine merchants, restaurateurs, caterers, cheesemongers, tofu makers, chocolatiers, taco-truck cooks, retailers, baristas, tea merchants, pizza makers — thrive in difficult times. And they, in turn, will make sure we eat and drink very well!

OUR ETHICS

We don’t accept free meals or free food or free drinks. Occasionally one or two of our writers will attend a press event, but if they write about it, they make it clear that it was a press event. We don’t offer editorial coverage for advertisers; ads on the site have no impact on what we choose to include or not include on the site or in the book. We will never have ads in the book.  We strive for honesty, transparency and good journalism. Yes, this is journalism, and we take our responsibility seriously.

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING

We’re getting pretty swell reviews! Here’s are a few tastes:

“We’ve been hungry for a new food resource. We found it in EAT: Los Angeles.”
