Foodie Round-Up: Late Nights, Lengua, and The Golden Clogs
()
- We've (finally) had enough of Thai Food: this month, we are checking out all sorts of late-night dining options, from the Valley to Hollywood to Culver City to Venice: Mao's Kitchen, Nak Won House, El Gran Burrito, Little Toni's, Gaby's Mediterranean, Nova Express Cafe, Greco's New York Pizzeria, Cinco de Mayo.
- Psst! Hey, hey, Mr. Gold? Ix-nay on the owards-hay. Nobody's supposed to know about it. You hearing me? Capisce? Otherwise, feel free to check out any one of his cheap lunch recommendations for Culver City.
- LA Observed's Veronique Turenne won third place in a Malibu Pie Contest last weekend -- "some famous faces, sure, but mostly regular people eating pie, enjoying the sun and watching their kids play."
- Oh! So this is why out-of-towners think that restaurant dining in Los Angeles is Douchebag Central. Hint: check out OpenTable for even those hard-to-get last minute reservations. As of 11:15 this morning, you can even get a seven p.m. table at Chinois on Main.
- Writer Michael Ruhlman and his roustabout pal Anthony Bourdain have announced nominees for the First Annual Golden Clog Awards: categories include the Alton Award, for best television personality who can actually cook.
- The real taco connosseurs enjoy the taste of lengua, or tongue: The Ethicurean experiments in offal and cooks up poached beef tongue. Warning: pictures may be NSFV (not safe for vegetarians).
- One of the hardest working chefs in Hollywood (and one of our favs), Suzanne Goin, tells Fodor's what she does to relax, where she likes to enjoy a cocktail, and where she'll be doing her Christmas shopping this year.
- The LA Times gives Craft THREE STARS. Three stars! That is called the OPPOSITE of being Tom Colicchio's redheaded stepchild.
- Americans are truly the People of the Corn: and two filmmakers are setting out to educate the public about how to change the food system for the better.

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.
