Just because you plan to eat your weight in Halloween candy this weekend, that doesn't mean that you can't indulge in some other delicious food events until then. From an all-you-can-eat-rib feast to a costumed beer benefit party, here are some of our favorite happenings this week.
MONDAY, OCT. 26
Guest Bartender Takeover at E.P. & L.P.
The folks behind Hollywood's E.P. & L.P. will be featuring another guest bartender takeover on their rooftop bar, this time hosting Alex Straus of Vegas' celebrated cocktail shrine Herbs & Rye. Head upstairs to Frankie's Private Bar from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m., where you'll sample from the one-night-only drink menu and chow on hits like the loaded L.P. nachos and turmeric pork skewers. Cocktail highlights include the Ramos with gin, orange flower water, lemon, lime and egg white and the Boulevardier with Rutte Old Simon Genever, Cynar, sweet vermouth, Ancho Reyes and chocolate bitters.

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.
