You love LA.

We love LA.

Here is the @latimesfood team's Top 50 Dining Experiences that define our culture.

It's not a "best of" list, it's a collection of moments, flavors, that we all love and share 🌟https://t.co/7nJTSgdblK

@hearinladotcom @la_dorkout Yes it was. Either way, one of the worst-designed spaces I've experienced although the Beverly Connection and that building where Knitting Factory used to be are also in contention. https://t.co/JZI9rlhvNX

I made Trisha Yearwood's very good blueberry pie bar recipe but it could have had way more flavor! Needed to amp up the lemon juice.

[roxy demento @falseroxy]

However all the businesses on Sunset in Echo Park need to get together and powerwash the sidewalks regularly. If you're going to charge $30 for a takeout chicken, you should be responsible for helping keep the streets nice.

Happy to see Kismet Rotisserie is coming to Echo Park (behind Ggiata), even if I can't really afford it.

SCOOP: Los Angeles just fired its chief heat officer ahead of the hot summer months. Also LA's climate office is down to one staffer.

Total silence from Mayor Karen Bass, who's up for reelection and already had a mediocre climate record. My story: https://t.co/FiMULPE8IT
