It has taken many years of behind-the-scenes work for Bill Esparza of Street Gourmet LA to plan and create the first-ever “Tacolandia” Sunday, June 23 at the Hollywood Palladium (the event is sold out). Presented by LA Weekly and curated by Esparza, more than 30 vendors some as even far away as Baja, California, are bringing their “A” game showcasing what LA is known best...

The first time we were introduced to Guisados, traditional home style braises on fresh handmade tortillas, was at a tasting for the East LA Meets Napa event. The savory meat stews cooked with vegetables and chiles danced on your tongue as you bit down into the taco. If you’re brave and like heat, definitely ask for the habanero salsa. We love this restaurant not...

I’ve painstakingly, and very scientifically (ah, who am I kidding?), informally polled friends and family for the best potato taco in the Greater Los Angeles area. I found, that while few...

Food Trucks by Heather Shouse I picked this book up simply because of the title. Seriously. Before I even opened the book, I began to panic: could the promise of the title be yet another let down? Would I be reading about food trucks in New York or Miami? What good would that do me here in Los Angeles? I opened it up and was...

Here in Southern California, we’re lucky to have sweet & tart strawberries available to us nearly year-round. There is nothing better than biting into a chilled strawberry on a hot summer day fresh from the garden. Too often we think of the luscious berries as components of breakfast or dessert, thereby limiting the awesome potential of the strawberry. Wanting to stretch my berries further, I visited Californiastrawberries.com, the new site...
