The love and support for LA after the recent fires, and anytime people help strangers, gives one a fleetly glimmer of hope in humanity. One of the things to truly love about gridlocked and vocal fried LA is the food. We're spoiled in NY, but the produce in California is the next best to Italy. So if for no other reason than to show love for a hard business, during hard times, some of my favorite LA food spots are: Speranza, Lolo, Gra, Cafe Stella, Tower Bar, Jar, Pace, Gjusta, Locanda Portono, Fluffy’s. Not to mention great tacos, and fruit cups galore. All so good.
