On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson digs into the Golden State's dynamic and diverse restaurants with three experts who know the local food scene inside and out. First, Johnson chats with Elina Shatkin, food journalist and producer of KCRW's Good Food in Los Angeles. Shatkin shares some of her favorite restaurants and foodie neighborhoods across the City of Angels. Shatkin runs the full gamut of good eats, from L.A. institutions to standout sandwich shops and high-end spots. “I just want to give people a good time and help them discover something delicious,” she says. She also takes listeners east, highlighting her favorite newcomers and old-school dining establishments in Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. Next, Johnson welcomes Mackenzie Chung Fegan and Cesar Hernandez, food critics at the San Francisco Chronicle and the duo behind the paper's much-anticipated Top 100 Restaurants list. They reflect on their process of curating the list and their goal to highlight culinary excellence across price points, cuisines, and regions—from Oakland to San Jose to Healdsburg. “We wanted to make sure that there were plenty of affordable restaurants on this list,” says Fegan, “that it wasn't just a list of places to eat out for special occasions.” Hernandez echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the value of lifting up both legacy and new restaurants. “We also wanted to represent places that have been around for at least 10 or 15 years instead of just the ones that are new.” Together, the critics highlight standout picks, ranging from local taco shops to classic Bay Area mainstays and Michelin-starred meals.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz will spend this week barnstorming through the so-called “Blue Wall” states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Between now and Saturday, the two have more than a dozen campaign events planned in the three states. While the ‘Blue Wall' offers Democrats the best shot at winning the White House, the Harris campaign's slate of stops there this week also reflects the party's growing unease as the presidential race tightens. All three states also feature major Senate races that Democrats need to win for the party to hold onto its majority. Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin joins us to talk about her race and what the party needs to do to win these battleground states.And in headlines: The Pentagon announced plans to send an anti-missile defense system to Israel, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate J.D.

The Trump campaign is requesting military protection against alleged threats from Iran. This includes classified assets normally reserved for sitting presidents, and comes in light of an Iranian plot to assassination former president Donald Trump.

While the individual's intentions are still unknown, local law enforcement say they may have stopped another attempt on Trump's life.
