Things to do
If you're like me and love watching cooking videos, then you'll remember watching Bon Appétit's original, fun and quirky cast of chefs doing cook-offs. I loved them all, but chef Molly Baz was one of my favorites, even though her love for extra salt in all her recipes made me nervous. If you too are a Baz fan here's a chance to see her in person talk about her love of food (and salt):
- Now Serving + Ace Hotel DTLA Presents: An Evening with Molly Baz: New York Times best-selling author Molly Baz discusses her new cookbook More is More: Get Loose in the Kitchen with actor and comedian Eric Wareheim. The bookstore Now Serving will sell signed copies of More is More on-site. Next door at Upstairs, the restaurant serves up specials featuring recipes from More is More for one night only. Baz's collaborative wine with The Marigny winery, Drink This Wine, and Wareheim's Las Jaras wines will be poured at The Theatre and Upstairs.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
