Because food-truck mania is at a fever pitch, it was only a matter of time until someone organized an event around the trucks, and that’s what happened last weekend. Thousands of foodies swarmed the first LA Street Food Fest on Saturday, February 13, but unfortunately, many left disappointed. While the concept was good, the organization [...]
If we’re lucky, most of us get one, maybe two years of white truffles and $150 bottles of Champagne on Valentine’s Day before we settle into true love — and real life. (Actually, we’re quite fond of shitakes and $10 Prosecco.) But occasionally, we all get that sentimental longing for a romantic dinner on Valentine’s [...]
Food truck lovers, your time has come! More than 35 food vendors, including the Grilled Cheese Truck, the Sweets Truck and the Buttermilk Truck, will convene at the LA Street Food Fest, which hopes to be an annual event. Each food truck and stall vendor will have tastes that sell from $1 to $5, including [...]
So often our social issues seem huge and overwhelming, and we retreat behind the assumption that it’s just too big a problem to tackle. Not so our friend Jennie Cook, a caterer and former restaurateur who was introduced to the group Root Down L.A. by cookbook author and EAT: LA contributor Amelia Saltsman. We all [...]
Forgive the self-promotion, but we must report that Colleen Dunn Bates, editor of EAT: Los Angeles and Hometown Pasadena, will be on John Rabe’s show Off-Ramp on KPCC this weekend, talking a little about the new 2010 edition of EAT: Los Angeles, but more about the hows and whys of what we eat. Off-Ramp, a wry and [...]
We had to share a few more photos from the great publication party for EAT: Los Angeles 2010, which you can now find at your local bookstore or market (or online at Traveler’s Bookcase). Here are a couple of links to blog reports from the Traveler’s Bookcase shindig, which was a celebration of L.A. street [...]
December 9, 1984. That’s the night Evan Kleiman opened Angeli Caffé on Melrose. We shouted our praises a few months ago, but if you still haven’t stopped by, Kleiman is sweetening the deal with a 25th anniversary celebration that lasts through the end of next year. As of December 1, you can grab a three-course [...]
We had to pass along this blog report from Donna Myrow, publisher of the nonprofit, teen-written newspaper L.A. Youth, detailing a recent outing at Farmers Market, where security guards would not let her give her uneaten food to a homeless person — even when she invited the hungry person in question to sit at her table. [...]
We were happy indeed with a recent meal at Bacaro L.A., where tasty small-plate dishes are just $7. And we were happier to then discover that next time, if we just show up and order between 5 and 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, we can have all the exact same dishes for a mere $5. [...]
After a year or so of planning, the Arroyo Food Co-op is now moving full-steam ahead toward its goal of establishing a nonprofit community grocery store in the Pasadena/Altadena/Eagle Rock area. Its first community-wide social event is on Saturday at the Yoga House, and to inspire the curious to attend, a series of five yoga [...]
