@metalrogue64 From our view, gas stations that trade prepared food for money are restaurants.

See also: Wawa, Buc-ee’s, Sheetz, California’s many Punjabi-owned dhabas, and on and on

Curiously, Terrible’s boasts on marketing materials and its own exterior walls that there are 60 bathrooms, though signage inside indicates 63, counting all stalls and urinals. Better to underpromise and overdeliver.

@kennybeats The place is an LA classic.

@hearinladotcom @longdrivesouth As for SFGATE's coverage and viewpoint:

Prior to this current job I was senior editor at Eater LA for nearly a decade. I live here, and love LA the absolute most.

SFGATE has a standalone bureau of Angeleno reporters who live and report here. We're not writing in from SF.

[Farley Elliott @overoverunder]

@hearinladotcom @longdrivesouth Thanks for the map! I always agree that the San Fernando Valley and South LA deserve as much attention as they can get. LA is massive, Bill is one person, and we really need to include the work of co-critic Jenn Harris in this convo.

It would be disingenuous otherwise.

Spencer Pratt's LA hats are likely 'straight-up' trademark infringement https://t.co/WgQF1o64vB

@hearinladotcom @longdrivesouth An unfortunately misguided take. They have reviewed places all over the Valley and beyond this year!

Just because you didn't read it, or it's behind a paywall, does not mean that it didn't happen.

[Farley Elliott @overoverunder]

Worth noting that nearly this exact same thing happened in NYC, and Zohran got a cease and desist from the Knicks

L.A. Material is HIRING. We're looking for an excellent and organized editor.

Come help us build something rigorous and revelatory and original and fun! We're having the best time.

@midwesternIdiot Happy to help.

(also, not sure what you think the 'take' is. The story is about how the barbecue scene is growing in Las Vegas -- not that Las Vegas has supplanted any of the major existing barbecue places in America. In fact, the story talks about this extensively!)

[SFGATE @SFGate]

Las Vegas makes its case as America's next barbecue town https://t.co/D51Wqamwa5

[LA Material @LAMaterial__]

Why are L.A. restaurants so freaking loud?

A screaming martini order at a packed Los Feliz hotspot sent writer and humorist Dave Schilling down a surprisingly revealing rabbit hole.

No Bad Days is one of a handful of really great newsletters that make LA feel so, so cool right now. It's got immaculate taste and perspective, with just enough insider-y access to feel both welcoming and chic. And it's free! go go go go

“It was no grand plan,” Young recalled, nearly 22 years later, when reached by phone at his home in Walnut Creek. “We just asked. We thought they’d say no.”

“The traffic in the Flower Market just stopped. People were scared.”

Tremendously sobering reporting here from @KarenLPalmer on the effects of ICE raids on the economy of LA’s Santee Alley:
