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 [...]
It’s easy enough to shop locally for produce at farmers’ markets. Things are a little trickier when you’re keen on finding an interesting locally produced relish to jazz up your burgers, or maybe a homegrown barbecue sauce to toss into a gift box (Father’s Day is right around the corner). One of our favorite markets [...]
With so many great bakers, confectioners and pastry chefs in Los Angeles, it’s impossible to resist that nagging sweet tooth for very long. And who would want to? But given that we’re on the verge of summer, and yeah, we’re putting on the shorts, tees and sundresses, we wanted to find out what desserts our [...]
EAT: LA’s Linda Burum had goat for lunch recently with KPCC’s John Rabe, host of Off-Ramp, and if you missed their goat-loving conversation on the show, you can go to John’s blog to hear it. Here’s Linda’s not-so-Short List of worthwhile goat resources throughout the L.A. area. VIETNAMESE Phong Dinh 2643 N, San Gabriel Blvd., [...]
Ah, spring! It’s 80 degrees in the sun — then the breezes kick in or the marine layer comes by and your alfresco meal suddenly turns frigid. Try one of L.A.’s winsome hidden patios, those outdoor dining areas that are open to the sky and light but tucked within protective walls. Some are fancy (Lucques’ gauzily [...]
This weekend EAT: Los Angeles’s Miles Clements will be a guest on KPCC show Off-Ramp, to talk with host John Rabe about L.A.’s multicultural pizza scene. Here’s the piece Miles wrote for the Los Angeles Times this week about our city’s remarkable pizza diversity (who’s up for a ninja pizza topped with mochi and mayo?), [...]
We’re eating local as much as possible these days, but here’s a short list of terrific semi-local staples — rice, dips, pickles and preserves, even tofu. Why semi-local? Well, defining “localâ€Â is always tricky.  And while a 100-mile radius around L.A. encompasses plenty of farms full of fruit and vegetables, we feel justified in traveling farther [...]
The season has officially begun, clocks have sprung forward, and farmers’ markets are filled with young plants — called “starts†— for our gardens. You’ll find growing advice and various heirloom tomatoes, such as Black Krim and San Marzano, at Windrose Farm at the Wednesday Santa Monica market, and every vegetable imaginable from Jimmy Williams’ [...]
As much as we love marshmallow Peeps (they are awfully cute), we’ve often wondered when we’ll finally find the handmade chocolates, spring recipes and multi-colored farm-fresh eggs that the Easter bunny has picked out just for us. Right. Good thing it’s easy to gather goodies and make our own baskets. Kulich from Stolichnaya Bakery This [...]
