Onion Rings in the I.E.

A typical Sunday family dinner in the Girod household. That's Jeff in suspenders, on the right. Actually, it's a photo from a big Italian family dinner in Boyle Heights, c. 1930. It's Mary, Josie, Frank Sr., and Frank Alfieri Jr.; Frank and Angie Charolla; Pete and Mary Principe; and Rosalie Stagno.

About the Show

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.
