More LA spots to try
  • According to the U.S. Census 23.6% of Los Angeles County are known as "some other race." There's no question that Los Angeles is a melting pot of cultures from all over the world. Each culture staking claim to certain areas of Los Angeles, and eventually making it their own. K-town, Chinatown, and Little Ethiopia are just some examples of Los Angeles' colorful identity. Along with the people, of course, comes their food.
  • Photo via PostSecret on Facebook This week, Californians had their first chance to order up an iced tea or coffee at Starbucks and supersize it. The new Trenta cold beverage size, all 31 ounces of liquid insanity (more fluid than the average human stomach can hold), has, however, a great recyclable use: Wine holder. We spotted this pic via PostSecret on Facebook, demonstrating that a Trenta cup can hold a full bottle of wine....
  • Calling all vegans! Today is a great day to be a pizza-loving animal-free eating Angeleno, because we are all set to celebrate National Vegan Pizza Day, which is sponsored by Chicago Soy Dairy and local blogger Quarrygirl. Here in the country's 8th-friendliest city for vegans, you can honor this delicious day with a few discounts and celebrations.
  • Westside foodies will no longer have to pine over the “exotic grilled sausages” of Wurstküche, known to many as the sausage kitchen for its literal German translation. The popular downtown location in the historic Arts District will expand to its own Venice locale. The Westside digs will replace the newly departed Air Conditioned lounge on Lincoln Boulevard.
  • There's been a flurry of activity on Beverly Boulevard as the former Grace spot is in its final stages of being transformed into Chef John Rivera Sedlar's latest project, Playa. We're told they're prepping for an opening on or around February 4th. Sedlar previewed some of the menu back in September during a stint at Test Kitchen; the concept is a slightly more casual Latin eatery than his Downtown Rivera.
  • There's a new food truck on the streets, but this one slings and sings. Los Angeles country music radio station, Go Country 105 is rolling out the Chuck Wagon, which claims to be "the nation’s first radio station food truck." Food is accompanied by Go Country 105 promotions and giveaways, and the occasional live performance by a "Country superstar."
