Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Eat-LA looks at the fee hike for sidewalk cafes in Santa Monica, and talks with a food writer who ate thirty burgers in thirty days at thirty different places. Plus: what local eateries are most like the annoying sustainable restaurants in the sketch series Portlandia?
(Off-Ramp has been partnering with Eat-LA, the local online and published guide to food and drink in Los Angeles, for about a year now. And we've always been impressed with Eat-LA publisher and editor Colleen Bates. She has a great presence, deep knowledge, and a taste for down home food and gourmet eats. So starting this week, she'll be hosting our regular Eat-LA segments.)
