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.

RIP Harold Legaux, co-owner Harold & Belle's Creole Restaurant
Harold Legaux died Monday of cancer at the age of 61. In the LA Times, his business partner called him "an extremely particular food person ... as fine a restaurant operator as any major restaurateur in Los Angeles.” His parents founded the LA landmark Harold & Belle's in 1969 on West Jefferson. In this review from 2009, Off-Ramp contributor Steve Wasser said you really should go if you consider yourself a connoisseur of LA's rich and diverse culture.
