The Great Restaurant Purse Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello! Before I get into today’s newsletter, my critically acclaimed cookbook Amrikan is currently on sale for $15.99, which is cheaper than most sandwiches these days.

Hello! Before I get into today’s newsletter, my critically acclaimed cookbook Amrikan is currently on sale for basically the price of two matcha lattes.

But I’ve kept my favorite back pocket restaurant in Los Angeles hidden for multiple years. That changes today!It’s a very selfish move on my part. I have spent my career covering hundreds if not thousands of restaurants across the country (and across the globe). I’ve written about many restaurants in this newsletter. But up

Hello! I cannot believe it is already July. Lots of updates from me soon, but just some quick LA dining notes for today. Last night I checked back in on Etra, one of my most frequented restaurants in Los Angeles. It’s always solid (and has my favorite pomodoro in the city) with the best, cozy vibe, and one of LA’s best sticky toffee puddings.
