Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

The tacos served up at the seasonal weekly hilltop farmers' market at Hollywood's Yamashiro have attracted a fanatical following, and now its time for those tasty bites--and the chef behind them--to step out on their own. Komida, the off-shoot storefront project of Yamashiro Executive Chef Brock Kleweno, is opening as-planned October 6th.

You'll be able to score those yummy Miso Sake Black Cod, Spiced Hoisin Duck Confit, and Braised Short Rib tacos Thursdays from 5 to 9 p.m.,and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. only. Additional days and hours will be added in November. Plus, you can scoop up some packaged goodies, like Kleweno's crave-worthy Wasabi Guacamole, to take home. While you're dining, there will be beer, wine, and house-made sangria for sale, too.

Heads up: Komida will be cash-only for the time being (an ATM is onsite if you forget your paper bucks).

Oh, and we said free tacos for a year, right? Here are the official details on how to get in on that:
