Don’t blame us for the bad pun—that’s thanks to pun-lover KPCC’s John Rabe, who chatted with Eat LA’s Linda Burum about LA’s best sausages as part of the regular EatLA on Off-Ramp series. The show airs Saturday, February 26th at noon and Sunday, February 27 at 7 p.m. We’ll be watching the Oscars then, so [...]
The cold and flu season is upon us (wasn’t it 95 degrees just last week?). That means many of us need chicken soup, and fast. Here are some of our favorites around town. We suspect some of you may politely (cough, cough) disagree. Homey Chicken Soup from Moore’s Deli Nobody makes a better all-American chicken [...]
This week’s EatLA/Off-Ramp collaboration took place in a capacious booth at South Pasadena’s Barkley, a happy-hour fave of host John Rabe’s, even though he’s a few decades younger than the average regular. Why? For generously poured, $3 well cocktails (nothing muddled or infused, mind you) with a free daily nosh, perhaps cheese-drenched nachos. What’s not [...]
Jean T. Barrett, one of our ever-intrepid culinary reporters, went poking around booming Santa Clarita recently while on assignment for a magazine and discovered there’s a lot more going on there for food-and-drink lovers than is often the case in the chain-mad ‘burbs. She’s shared her finds with us here, and this weekend she’ll be [...]
In this month’s EAT LA-Off Ramp collaboration, Miles Clements took took host John Rabe and producer Kevin Ferguson on a tour of some of the region’s best—yet modestly priced—Mexican restaurants, where the kitchen goes beyond the enchilada basics. Here’s the link to the podcast of the show, which airs on KPCC on Saturday, September 17, [...]
With so many great cocktail destinations in Los Angeles these days, we thought a short list of our farmers’ market favorites for summer was in order. Much to our happy-hour delight, we discovered there are far too many to list. Here’s a start. Ciudad Long before farmers-market cocktails became so trendy, Mary Sue Milliken and [...]
This week on Off-Ramp, John Rabe, Kevin Ferguson and I ate at Slaw Dogs and talked about hot dogs—and there’s a whole lot more to hot dogs in L.A. than standing in a tourist-filled line at Pink’s. To listen to the podcast of our talk, click here for KPCC’s Off-Ramp site. Here’s our short list [...]
The city of Pasadena has not been real friendly to food trucks, so the mania that’s swept L.A. was slow to hit there. But Kogi figured out that it could stop in Altadena, just over the Pasadena border and in unincorporated L.A. County territory, and soon others followed suit. We invited the Grilled Cheese Truck [...]
On this week’s EAT LA/Off-Ramp collaboration, KPCC host John Rabe and I headed to Vicente Foods to taste relish. Lots and lots of relish. Straight up. Ya, crackers probably would have been a good idea. All the relishes we tasted are from small L.A. producers like Jim Brown. Some are zippy burger and hot dogs [...]
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 [...]
