The Delicious Chinese Mexican food of Mexicali
There comes a time in the life of an Angeleno who follows the taco lifestyle to graduate from Tijuana and drive just two hours more southeast—to the other underestimated border city in Baja California: Mexicali.
For those additional two hours of listening to your favorite podcast and reflection, you will be rewarded with life-changing carne asada tacos, perspective-shifting flour tortillas, and fascinatingly delicious Mexican Chinese food.
Isn’t It Time You Tried Argentinian Food?
When I was just five years old, my family immigrated to Los Angeles from Buenos Aires, and like many Argentine immigrants, with us came our love for a good empanada and fútbol y asado on Sundays.
For my brother and me, growing up felt like we still lived in Argentina at home and as soon as we stepped out the door and kissed our parents goodbye, we were in the U.S.
Would You Be Comfortable Eating In A 19 Seat, Secret Garden Restaurant?
There’s an old carriage house in the Mission. It was built for San Francisco’s mayor in the 1870s, fell into disrepair many decades later before being saved in 2008 and turned into delightful Folsom Street mainstay Stable Cafe
There’s a lush garden patio next to that old carriage house. And in the back of that lush garden patio, there’s a greenhouse.
The greenhouse has 19 seats, a fruiting lemon tree and what feels like San Francisco’s next big thing.
Coming To A Table For You From a Screen You’ve Watched
For those of us who have drooled over the yummy items on Netflix’s food shows, you may get a chance to eat those items in real life.
Get ready to go from “screen to table.”
The streamer has announced it’s launching a pop-up restaurant in Los Angeles and will be serving up “cuisine from the world-renowned chefs you’ve seen on Netflix.”
Eight Best Plant-Based Restaurants in California
With the increasing number of people going vegan, vegetarian, or even pescetarian, the rise of plant-based restaurants has also been underway for a while. Plant-based restaurants are known to have some of the unique items on their menus, packed full of flavor with different types of textures, all made to satisfy your rumbling stomach. With not even strictly vegetarians trying out this culinary sector, we now find ourselves lost amidst a mountain of delicious-looking restaurants, the choices quite literally overwhelming us. While there is no way to cover all of them, here is a list of the best plant-based restaurants in California.
Bud Light Drops From the #1 Spot
Pour one out for Bud Light—for the first time in more than two decades, the blue-canned beverage is no longer the top-selling beer in the US. Following years of declines and a monthslong boycott that further tanked sales, Bud Light is now second to the gold-foiled Modelo Especial.
