#290: Today we're doing one of our favorite thing on HTLA: explore – and eating – LA's rich food scene.
Every heard of Black tacos? Or as some people refer to them: Black people tacos?
Well, they're a thing, especially in LA, and they are delicious. Think traditional soul food spices and braised meats with all the Mexican fixins' that Angelenos love.
We love our tacos here in LA, and today we're exploring the origins and evolutions of the Black taco. And we eat at Sky's Gourmet Tacos.
Guests: Veronica Daniel, LAist Studios intern, Deborah Freeman, food anthropologist and food editor for Style Weekly, Barbara Burrell, owner of Sky's Gourmet Tacos
