LA is a dastardly concoction of tragically dramatic hipsters, altruistic artists, pompously arrogant Westsiders (yes all of you) and a barrage of other archetypes that Im too lazy to identify, each of whom are inevitably fast tracked to do none other than bolster the already lavish scene of pish-posh and dilly dallie that continually pervade the city… and I kind of like it.
With cunning people crafting clever ideas, the potential for an innovative dining experience is all too evident, to say the least.
But don’t kid yourselves people, it’s not all gloss finished-fondant cupcakes and flamboyantly tinted macaroons, there are villains roaming our streets and we must be ready to defend our palates from pervasive pursuits. Exercising the powers of keen observation, cynical finger pointing and critical critiquing(?) we rally together to defend, celebrate and fulfill the gastronomic aptitude that we are surely capable of.
That being said, I’m not here to review restaurants or tell you what’s good and what’s bad. I’m not here to scold and criticize restaurant moguls or the “LA food scene.” I am here to seek out and underscore the genuinely interesting, the sincerely fascinating and the sometimes quirky endeavors that make Los Angeles so gosh darn nifty.
So come along as I try my best to find inspired places, crafty people and unique food while taking a few cheap shots on some expensive people along the way.
