L.A. is one of the most diverse cities on the globe, home to more than 500,000 Filipino-Americans, more than anywhere outside of the Philippines.
But did you know one of L.A.‘a founders was Filipino?!? It’s time we celebrate Antonio Miranda Rodriguez.
Let’s get into it!
I wrote about a little mochi shop in Gardena that never has a line, but almost always sells out, where two brothers have come to appreciate their role as not just creators of familiar flavors but stewards of a community's precious memories https://t.co/BXPgyocsDA
I wrote about chili crisp capitalism, Asian American cynicism and ask, what are we realy celebrating during AAPI heritage month? https://t.co/PEsSP8vy3V
Who is the next tortilla trailblazer in L.A. who's not afraid of getting crazy with tacos? I have a hunch. I wrote about him for @lataco. If you enjoy this, become a member and support. We are not doing well and need all the help to stay alive. Thank you. https://t.co/uSsD96dZX5
It’s getting crazy. Please vote if you haven’t. L.A.’s Taqueros take our TACO MADNESS extremely serious and need every vote they can get. One is even staying sober during his honeymoon for it 💯 (I’ll let you all figure out which one). Gracias! @LATACO

This vato stays pumping out some of L.A.’s BEST tacos and taco-adjacent dishes, like this lights-out delicious fish sandwich that deserves to be eaten well beyond Lenten season. Story now up on @lataco and lil poser reel 🎥 coming later today on the ‘gram.
I wrote about the graffiti tower, and Los Angeles’s awkward contradictory attempts to embrace the street cultures that birthed it https://t.co/wB3kk6MTNP
