As we approached the entrance to The Echo Park craft fair, we saw a huge line for something and naturally assumed that it was the ticket line. It ended up being the line for the Oaxacan Quesadilla Cart! Street food is awesome in L.A.! The food truck craze across the U.S. started here and was inspired […]
85°C Bakery Cafe (Southern California)
After La Tavolata, we went to 85°C Bakery Cafe to pick up a couple of desserts for home. It’s a bit like the bakery at the end of my Mitsuwa Marketplace post because there are both sweet and savory pastries. Let’s take a peek! There are a few branches around Southern California, and this one […]
La Tavolata (Artesia, CA)
This is my third trip to La Tavolata, but my first on The Episodic Eater. To see my first two meals recapped on Vintage Zest, click here and here. There is nothing fussy about the food, it’s just plain and simple what you want to eat when you are craving pasta. Now, let’s get to […]
Providence (Los Angeles, CA)
For my dad’s birthday, we went to one of his favorite restaurants, Providence! This was the only picture I was able to take with my good camera because I was not going to take it out for all of the courses. Sorry, but you will have to deal with phone pictures from my mom’s old […]
Guisado’s (Los Angeles, CA)
Finally, we made our way from UniqueLA to Forage for delicious seasonal dishes and Brite Spot for dessert to our final destination: Guisado’s! I have to apologize in advance for some extremely poor lighting, but I did a semi-decent job bringing some life into these pictures. If you don’t believe me, I’ll send you the originals! Without […]
Brite Spot (Los Angeles, CA)
After our mini meal at Forage, we were on our way to Guisado’s, but when I saw the Brite Spot sign, I insisted that we made an unplanned stop! By the way, this is a seriously old school diner. Apparently it’s been there since 1949! As soon as you walk into the diner, there are tons […]
Forage (Los Angeles, CA)
After Unique LA, my friend and I were extremely hungry. Even though we had a few samples of some delicious sweets at the show, we needed to have some real food. We decided to go to one of her favorite restaurants nearby, Forage! The outside is not the most festive or inviting, but the inside […]
