Holiday Season Foodie Round-Up: Ramen, Latkes, and Dunkin Donuts
- Taste-Buzz will fill you with ramen cravings in this post on Asa Ramen in Gardena. Rameniac (noodle porn!) is also on the scene. More and more, it seems like the real culinary finds in this region are in the cities surrounding central L.A.
- Is Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck) a necessary evil for those seeking high-quality, low-impact organic food? Or is the company less interested in ethical consumption and more involved in "creating a retail environment that is as much a lifestyle experience as it is a trip to the store"? David Lazarus at the LAT asks the important questions.
- Are you interested in some funky variations on the holiday latke? Or are you more of the traditional type? We've got the recipes to fulfill your potatoey needs.
- Jonathan Gold takes on the tricky tricky assignment of identifying great single-slice pizza places in the city. I have my L.A. pizza preferences, but I'm terrified to share them in fear of setting off every single New Yorker living in the city.
- CNN picks out Cut, Providence, and the Chinese-Macanese Monterey Park restaurant Macau Street as three of the best new restaurants of 2007. Macau Street! Who knew?
- What's up with you East Coast people and your abiding desire for Dunkin' Donuts? LAist investigates the mystery of their absence in California, and writes an open letter to the company begging for a franchise.
- LAist also considers Terroni, while Potatomato visits and rolls their eyes a bit at the crowds.
- ChezPim reminds us to participate in Menu for Hope, which benefits the United Nations World Food Program. Er, Programme.
