I haven’t loved the vegan sushi in the Bay Area, but I’ve learned that’s not because it’s vegan but because it’s not fancy enough :) (I’m very spoiled and I only like fancy sushi)
Tried Boba tea today at Got Tea Cafe and I must say, it was amazing! The cafe has a comfy vintage vibe with a photobooth. You should go there atleast once 🧋
NEW EPISODE: This week on the podcast, we're delving into our weird obsession with the Nutri-Score food labels used in 8 European countries.
Why might chamomile tea get a C rating when a diet cola gets an A? And does Giorgia Meloni have a point in claiming the ratings are biased against Italians?

Drawing on happy memories, like the chance to go back to Malen's for their unforgettable beef caldereta and discovering this spacious, pretty cafe in Imus, Cavite that serves good coffee (branding is impressive, too).
Hot and correct take from LA foodie friend: ‘when I say we aren’t a burrito town like SF, I mean to say we have MANY, many types of burrito, not just one; not that our burritos aren’t good’
Walking down Little Bourke Street this morning from Queen to Elizabeth, I was musing on how the only restaurants on this stretch that closed because of the pandemic were branches of chains: Schnitz, Grill'd and Nando's. Maybe says something about the tight profit margins of franchisees?
(Also weirdly, the baked potato place that's been there for eons survived! Didn't expect that.)
Some of you know I’m a big fan of LA food. I think that dollar for dollar you get a tremendous amount of cuisines, varieties of foods, in this melting pot which feels to me like it has far more immigrant and working class food than the Bay Area. Even the density and quality of ‘fancy food’ is high!
