The LA Food Podcast

Q&A: Farmers Market Whistleblowing, “Peak Millennial” Restaurants & Is WeHo Cursed? Plus, Ceviche Project, Pawn Shop & Holy Basil.

Episode Description from the Publisher

Father Sal returns for a full Q3 listener Q&A, and things get weird quickly. We debate whether having a controversial guest on a podcast counts as “platforming,” try to decode an anonymous tip about Sqirl’s alleged lack of presence at the farmers market, ask whether West Hollywood is cursed for restaurants, and determine which LA spots best capture peak-millennial dining culture. Plus: which restaurants are worth suffering LA traffic for, where to send someone for their one meal in Los Angeles, whether LA is actually a sports-bar town, and plenty of recent eats, including Holy Basil, Ceviche Project and Pawn Shop. We also make a brief case for beer corkage fees, because apparently that is where we are as a society. And because it’s a listener Q&A: keep sending us your questions, comments and deranged food opinions on Instagram, Spotify and wherever you listen.
