i love to eat and travel and document as much of it as i can.
All in local eats
one of the foods we ate a lot of when we thought we were leaving LA? TACOS, of course. wemade a special trip down to costa mesa just for TACO MARIA; we specifically went at lunch time so that we could eat all the tacos.
i haven't been to animal in years and james had never been. i definitely had high expectations after so much time, and the experience did not disappoint!
one of our favorite coffee shops just opened up a heckuva lot closer to us!
pelican launched last night with a pop-up at pine & crane in silverlake! pelican is "taiwanese popup dinners focused on familiar southern taiwanese flavors, presented in new ways."
i hadn't heard of kinjiro before my brother made reservations, but i'm so glad he did because we had an amaaaazing izakaya dinner.
my family has always like going to steakhouses for a nicer dinner or special occasion. there are several we usually frequent, but we were looking to try something new and reserved a table at alexander's steakhouse
brooklyn's popular weekly smorgasburg market opened in LA at the alameda produce market! the weather was over 100 degrees, but there were still lots of people out to get their bagels, lobsters, pizza, ramen burgers, coffee, noodle bowls, tacos, banh mi, hot dogs, poke, popsicles, etc!
we are already huge fans of b.s. taqueria, and couldn't wait to try broken spanish! the food was ridiculous. comforting, flavorful and a whole new experience with mexican food for me.
i was quickly enamored with howlin' rays when they first started serving nashville-style hot chicken out of a food truck last year. now BACK with their own storefront in chinatown's far east plaza!
