We're back on the road to celebrate our 30th Anniversary! This week, we’re headed to Los Angeles, in partnership with LAist , to talk about the world-influencing food scene in LA and the community that brings it together. First, we dig into how LA dining influenced the country and the world with KCRW's very own Evan Kleiman, Host of Good Food , and Gab Chabrán, Associate Editor of Food and Culture at LAist . Then we talk community and the restaurants that foster those connections with chef-owners Uyên Lê , who makes delicious Vietnamese comfort food at her take-out, Bé Ù, Keith Corbin , executive chef and co-owner of Alta Adams, and bestselling author of his memoir, California Soul and Elvia and Alex Garcia , the James Beard nominated chef-owners of Evil Cooks, one of L.A.’s most lauded taqueria pop-ups now transformed into a full restaurant.
