The only redeeming quality of Los Angeles for me is the food. To commemorate great friend & culinary buddy Allison Walsh’s escape from Los Angeles, we embarked on a dining campaign this weekend to hit as many local favorites as possible before she moves to Washington DC. In 36 hours, we experienced swanky fusion street food, pub-style dessert, home-style Korean, Middle Eastern ice cream, and a Chinese Dim Sum breakfast. Below is a list of our samplings:
Alibi Room (Kogi BBQ)
- Sweet Chili Chicken Quesadilla with Salsa Naranja
- Tofu and Citrus Salad with Taro & Lotus Root Chips
- Korean Spiced Fries
- Vegan Sesame Leaf Tacos with Asian Pear and Salsa Roja
