Plus, WrestleMania returns to LA for the first time in 20 years.  

    Also, a Hot Cheeto corn dog, deep friend cheesecake, Greek-style french fries smothered in feta cheese. We talk with the Dodgers Executive Chef about all the new food options at the stadium added for this baseball season. 

    Then, as LA voters prepare for a special election to fill a vacant City Council seat, homelessness is a pressing concern. So it’s not a surprise that it's a top priority for candidates as the campaign draws to a close.

    And, the FBI is warning politicians of alleged Chinese intelligence recruitment in California, and experts fear more backlash and profiling in Asian American communities.
