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-siteNext 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.

Check out our full list of things to do this week.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
