Controversy in Hollywood as news breaks that Elon Musk - yes, THAT Elon Musk - has tapped beloved LA chef Eric Greenspan to helm his upcoming Tesla-themed Diner on Santa Monica Blvd. Is Chef Greenspan's choice to take the job in any way defensible, or is he just another DOGE bag? Father Sal and I dig into the news and the backlash to make sense of it all. Plus, the James Beard Awards announced their nominees including 5 So Cal establishments, LA Taco's Taco Madness got underway with one notable absence, and in Chef's Kiss Big Miss we tackle revolving restaurants, gullible pastry chefs, and a list of rules for modern dining.Helpful links:Breijo and Goldman on Greenspan and the Tesla Diner https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-03-28/la-chef-picked-to-run-tesla-diner-in-hollywoodSoCal James Beard nominees https://la.eater.com/2025/4/2/24399234/los-angeles-james-beard-foundation-award-nominees-2025LA Taco Taco Madness https://lataco.com/taco-madness-2025Con Mum https://www.netflix.com/title/81708174Galuten on best burger / martini combo https://la.eater.com/2025/4/1/24398077/best-bar-burger-martini-los-angeles-noah-galutenFinancial Times' rules for dining https://www.ft.com/content/dba8928b-0961-4174-bd00-5096a2e65beaRevolving restaurants https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/dining/revolving-restaurant.html–Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! https://thelonelyoyster.com/
What the hell is happening at Otium? Where the hell is Chef Tim Hollingsworth? And what are its former employees trying to do about it? We're joined by former Otium employees Rylee Ratcliff and Melissa Mendoza for a raw and honest conversation about the exhausting, frustrating, and maddening weeks they've had since the acclaimed Downtown restaurant closed its doors for good on September 8. Father Sal also joins us to give Chef Tim some PR advice. We talk about LA Taco's latest and greatest Taco 69 list, Ina Garten's salacious new memoir, why the California legislature is banning farm-raised octopus, and what Paul Hollywood has been up to in his free time.

This week, legendary LA food writer Bill Esparza made waves when he dropped a scathing review of Villa's Tacos on his Instagram stories. The review had been building for weeks, if not more than a year, and its Kendrick-style intensity left all of Los Angeles talking. Father Sal is with us today to dive deep into the situation, including what led to it, what the review got right and wrong, and how Victor Villa and others in the LA food community responded. We attempt to answer the essential questions - was Bill's criticism fair? Did he go too far, was he too mean? And what does it mean that Bill's opinions on these tacos, seems to be so far removed from that of other key voices in the food world including Bill Addison, LA Taco and even Michelin Bib Gourmand. One housekeeping note, Bill's review took place on Instagram stories and is no longer available. Fear not, we've got your back. We took screenshots and the entire review can be found at our substack, LA FOODSTACK, linked in the show notes. On a lighter note, we're also joined on the podcast today by Duncan Parsons and Joe Wedd, the duo behind Creamy Boys, a New Zealand-style real fruit ice cream concept down in Hermosa Beach. I had a blast talking to these two rambunctious fellas about how they turned their lifelong friendship and passion for their hometown delicacy into a business concept that is kind of taking Los Angeles by storm. If you haven't had New Zealand style ice cream yet, I'm not sure you can really say your summer has even begun. So give this a listen, and then go get your Hokey Pokey on.

The multi-talented journalist had a video of the LAPD bum rushing Dodger fans. The LAPD and City Attorney did not like it and charged him with Failure to Disperse. Odd, since they didn't charge him at the time and they didn't charge any of the other dozens of journalists or hundreds of fans.

Last year, as the final episodes of The Sellout aired, LA TACO got a tip from a listener: for years, Jose Huizar had been awarding flashy scholarships to college-bound students from Boyle Heights and East LA. But some of those students say they never got the scholarship money promised to them. Was Huizar really stiffing high school students from his own neighborhood?

Eddie Lin, the blogger behind Deep End Dining, risked his stomach on raw chicken and lived to tell about it on Evan Kleiman's Good Food. He began his well-known food blog Deep End Dining around fall 2004. Almost immediately it began to receive critical attention as one of his entries was selected to be in the 2005 food anthology Best Food Writing. Eddie is the author of Lonely Planet's Extreme Cuisine, a guidebook about exotic foods around the globe. His extreme food exploits and essays have been covered by NPR, PBS, the Los Angeles Times, OC Weekly, BlackBook Magazine, Food & Wine, the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, USA Today, and others. Eddie was an on-air contributor and segment producer for KCRW's long-running Good Food and has appeared on Visiting with Huell Howser, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, Freakiest Foods, Eat St., KABC Eyewitness News's The Man Who Eats Everything, and CSI: NY. Eddie Lin was a guest judge on Top Chef Masters, among other popular tv food competition shows, such as MasterChef. Eddie's ideal job as a tasting judge kept him busy traveling the country to vet hopeful cooking contestants for shows like The Taste with Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Chef Ludo Lefebvre, and Chef Marcus Samuelsson. He also appeared on Knife Fight in 2013 alongside Top Chef Ilan Hall. His long ago attempted YouTube series, Kamikaze Kitchen, featured unsuspecting chefs who are ambushed at their restaurants with a "mystery ingredient" and usually it's something you would not find on the menu, like alligator. Eddie is currently a contributor to LA Taco and LA Times, covering restaurants and interesting food stories around the city. He's also writing his food memoir titled All You Can Eat Hell, a requiem for a restaurant, about his family's failed all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet in Houston, Texas and his coming of age exile into lonely adulthood as the number one son of Taiwanese immigrants. Eddie and I have dined together at some of the best vegan restaurants around LA for the past nine years. Our favorite dates happen to take place at vegan Chinese restaurants in particular. We also like to go have dim sum in LA's famed San Gabriel neighborhood where the most authentic Chinese restaurants are found. And what's Eddie's favorite dim sum dish? Chicken feet. So how am I, a plant-based vegan chef and host of the Plantfull Life podcast, with this crazy guy? Well, I'll let you listen into this episode to find out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/plantfull/support
More rain is on the way, first to Northern California, and then moving down to Southern California later this week. But how much will it impact the state's water resources? Reporter: Caleigh Wells, KCRW State maps may soon show even more homes and buildings are at risk for wildfire. After years of delay, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention says it's almost ready to release new fire hazard severity maps. Reporter: Chris Nichols, CapRadio Health officials across the state continue to raise concerns about rising hospitalizations and positive COVID-19 cases. This comes as friends and family gather for the holidays. Street food vendors and food trucks are a way of life in Los Angeles and have been for decades. But recent shutdowns of longtime established sites in East Los Angeles have many wondering if these businesses are facing too many restrictions to operate legally. Guest: Janette Villafana, Reporter, LA Taco
Chloe Watlington talked to four women about their workplace experiences and their decision to quit in her article in LA Taco called "The Big Quit of 2021 – as told by women of color in Los Angeles." The backdrop is what has happened to work during the pandemic. Month after month workers have been quitting jobs at unprecedented levels—for a variety of reasons including lack of childcare, burnout from toxic working conditions, and more. We talk to Chloe to get the big picture—who is quitting, which jobs they are quitting, why they are quitting—and what the long term implications are for the future of work and working conditions. Oscar Mendoza joins Suzi to explain the Chilean Presidential election taking place on November 21. The massive social protest movement of October 2019 accomplished what decades of center-left rule could not: the end of the Pinochet Constitution, the right to develop and write a new one based on the guarantee of universal social rights, and the recognition of Chile as a plurinational, multilingual society. The election for the constituents wiped out the right and the center. The next step was the formation of new electoral coalitions to select their presidential candidate. That brought more surprises, with the collapse of the traditional right. Gabriel Boric, the candidate of the left Apruebo Dignidad coalition, is now being challenged from the very far right pro-Pinochetista José Antonio Kast, and polls show the fascist Kast gaining on the young leftist Boric—but Oscar Mendoza cautions that the polls have been more wrong that right. We get the story.

Few business sectors in California were more battered by the pandemic than the dining industry -- nearly a third of the state's restaurants permanently closed in the past year, and two-thirds of workers temporarily lost their jobs. Now as California opens back up, how many restaurants will reopen, and will they bounce back? We talk with two people who write about California's dining scene about how restaurants are adapting post-pandemic, and what we should expect now when we go out to eat.

Sheriff's deputies chased and shot a security guard in the back multiple times at an auto repair shop in Los Angeles named Andres Guardado. He was just 18. Security footage shows that Guardado was kneeling with his back to the deputies, posing no threat whatsoever, when he was shot. Miguel Vega, the officer who fatally shot Guardado, had previous complaints against him. The officers claim that Guardado had a gun- but there is no evidence that that is true. The Sheriff's Department has been accused of criminal misconduct in handling the case. They point to the fact that Sheriff Deputies ripped security cameras off the walls of nearby buildings and took them. Andrew Haney, manager of Freeway Auto Shop, where Andres worked as a part-time security guard, said the Sheriff's Department took security footage from his shop without a warrant, and Memo Torres of nearby LA Taco had a video showing where security cameras were broken off the walls. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/district34/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/district34/support

A conversation focused on the unmanageable crises in Los Angeles County – and the state as a whole – leads to another tangent of doom and gloom (and hope?...Nah).

Looking back at the news coverage of the explosion at First Works Baptist Church, the question that rises to the top is why weren’t we hearing more from the group that had protested the Church’s hateful teachings? Keep El Monte Friendly was treated fairly in local reports, but we mostly just saw them in the context of their one protest. Their profile felt greatly overshadowed by the multitude of existing soundbites and loud personality of Pastor Delfin Bruce Mejia. Meeting two members of KEMF over Zoom, Abby and Bee, they were neither fervorous nor confrontational. They were soft-spoken. We discussed the highlights of their day of protest: a train of cars showing support, mothers crying tears of joy, the realization of not being alone. Then they shared their confusion and fear at the news of the bomb. They did not condone the attack and showed concern that the explosive might have hurt someone. It was clear that they wanted to move on from the experience. This episode isn’t to say that reporters local and national didn’t make balanced coverage. Rather that the story has largely been focused on a hate group whose main tactic thus far is speech over action, who have now assumed the role of victims (as they proclaim their bravery). In that, there wasn’t as much of a look at the people they’re hurting, or how a group like them comes to exist. But there were a few outliers in what was written about the event. Gustavo Arrellano’s column in the Los Angeles Times gave a meatier depiction of KEMF’s stake in the story. His piece also broke away from the pack in that he wrote the only story in a major publication that called out First Works’ bigoted values. It presented a good opportunity to talk about morality in journalism - and explain how columns and opinion pieces work for the media illiterate - so the former OC Weekly editor is the second guest in this bizarro media roundup. The third and final speaker is Dan Cady, a history professor at Fresno State who researches American hate groups. Cady’s chapter on the Ku Klux Klan from the El Monte history book East of East was quoted in Myriam Gurba’s LA Taco piece (which examined Mejia’s particular brand of hate preaching). Gurba raised a very important question: could First Works’ be a descendant of the KKK? Cady joined us to offer a more drawn out illustration of the Klan’s association with the Southern Baptist Church and how their mission and tactics inform organizations like First Works. He also outlines the flexible politics of American Christianity. Bruce Mejia was contacted with the following questions, but did not reply by publishing time. Members of Keep El Monte Friendly denounced the bombing, but their members say they have been issued hundreds of threats since then. Do you believe these threats are deserved? Gustavo Arrellano's column in the LA Times compares the presence of First Works in Monte to the Nazi Headquarters that was in town in the early 70's... Myriam Gurba's piece in LA Taco likens you yourself to the Ku Klux Klansmen of Monte's past... What do you say to these comparisons? What do you say to the random assortment of people on Social Media who say that your values aren't truly Christian? Special thanks to La Puente Eats

It's not hard to find great Mexican food in Los Angeles, and in the latest edition of our Travel Jawn series, we'll tell you where to find some of the best beef, shrimp and al pastor tacos in America. And, in the time of the coronavirus, supporting your local restaurants is now more important than ever.
In this special quarantine edition, we finally get the chance to sit down and talk with world-famous foo #theglutster AKA Javier Cabral, editor of LA TACO, producer, & author. This episode was recorded entirely remotely, from 3 different locations, and streamed live via Zoom at the time of recording. We talk with Javier about why some tacos should cost more than $1, what he's doing during the quarantine during this worldwide pandemic, most brutal music he's listened to, how he went from metalhead to punk foo, and why "Wassup Rockers" (2005) is significant for LA foo culture.
This week, we sat down with The Glutster a.k.a. Javier Cabral — Editor-in-Chief of the LA Taco, co-author of Oaxaca: Home Cooking from the Heart of Mexico, and associate producer of Netflix's Taco Chronicles — to talk about code-switching, food writing, and the diversity of Mexican food in Los Angeles. Javier tells us how his rebellious teenage years and eating disorder lead him to write about food and why he decided to focus on Oaxacan food, in particular. He also gives us a brief Mexican migration history into Los Angeles and how that helped shaped Cal Mex food in the area. But first, Stephanie and Juan discuss COVID-19 and its ramifications on Asian communities across the U.S. and the West: how xenophobia surrounding the virus has affected small Asian-American businesses and how we respond to the virus says a lot about divisions in social class and privilege. Produced by Juan Ramirez and Stephanie Kuo. Music by Brad Turner and Blue Dot Sessions.
Chamoy — it’s Mexico’s ruby-red, fruity, sour, salty, savory, spicy flavor combination. The mere thought of chamoy makes ones mouth water. But, what is it? Where did it come from? And where is it headed? We go on a “voyage de la chamoyage” all over LA to find out. Thank you to our guests. Bricia and Paulina Lopez from Guelatguetza; Javier Cabral and Gab Chabran from LA Taco; Wesley Avila and Philip Newman from Guerrilla Tacos; Andrew Chau from Boba Guys; Danny Trejo from Trejo’s Tacos; Andrea Onofre from Silverlake Wine and Yolo Mezcal; Eli Horowitz from the Homecoming podcast and TV show; Jorge “Joy” Alvarez-Tostado from Tacos 1986; Norma Cervantes from the fruit cart on 7th Street and Lucas; Lesley Tellez; the ladies from Mercado in Boyle Heights; and Charlie aka Chamba — all day, every day. Kief O. Nilsson sang “Chamoy to the World.” The Podcast Police Officer was played by “Nasty” Nate Welch, the security guard from RFFP episode 6 “Natural Wineberg.” The RFFP theme song is by Dr. Bobby Halvorson. James Braithwaite drew the mustachio’d pickle logo. Thank you Michael Kalifa for your mixing help. Additional / incidental music in this episode by Johannes Brahms, Gioachino Rossini, Richard, Blue Dot Sessions, Grupo Kual, Tia Carrere, Voids, DJ Rob Yo Heart, and Harry Nilsson. Thank you to the businesses who welcomed us in to record: Guelatguetza in Koreatown, Dulceria Candy Spot in Long Beach, Tropical Juice in Highland Park, Guerrilla Tacos in the Arts District, and Norma Cervantes’ fruit cart on 7th Street and Lucas near the 110 freeway in downtown LA.

Get excited for this new episode! First, our family cookbook, OAXACA: Home Cooking From the Heart of Mexico, is out today! We’re celebrating by talking to our friend of over a decade and co-writer of the book, Javier Cabral. The Glutster has been writing about food since he was 16 years old and now he’s the editor of LA TACO. We talk about how his obsession with food began and how he took something negative in his life and turned it into a lifelong career. We also discuss the year long process of writing the Oaxaca Cookbook, and the respect he has for all the women in his life. This episode will make you laugh hard, your heart swoon, and your stomach hungry!

On this episode of Tamarindo, we talk about what is at stake when it comes to #reproductiverights if we don’t take action to stop the intentional work taking place to dismantle #RoevWade. We feature Danielle Perez (https://www.instagram.com/divadelux/) , stand-up comedian, writer, and actress who is leveraging her platform to protect #AbortionAccess. She tells us about the YellowHammer Fund: yellowhammerfund.org which provides funding for anyone seeking care at one of Alabama’s three independent abortion clinics. Brenda also references many resources from the National Organizations for Women or now.org so check them out for ways you can protect reproductive rights for all. And since all this talk about Republicans rolling back the clock on women’s rights can produce anxiety, for our #calmamoment, Ana Sheila shows us how to get started with #journaling, a powerful tool that can improve overall well being and combat anxiety and stress. Lastly, we announce that Tamarindo is taking a short summer break. Ana Sheila will be taking a mini-sabbatical in Mexico while Brenda gears up for the UnidosUS Annual Conference happening August 3-6 in San Diego. Keep up with us on our socials (handles below) as we’ll be doing some appearances in our stories and instagram-live!

Suzi speaks first with Mike Parker, author, rabble-rouser, and union activist, who worked for thirty-tow years in auto in Detroit, about what is behind GM’s decision to close five plants, four in the US and one in Canada, affecting some 15,000 workers and their families as well as the towns and cities from Lordstown in Ohio to Detroit in Michigan. Ed Broadbent, former NDP Leader and Member of Parliament from 1975–1989, brings the Canadian perspective and reaction. Ed hails from Oshawa, Ontario, the site of the GM plant in Canada to be closed. His father was a clerk at GM and his still living uncle, at 104, was on the GM picket line in Oshawa in 1937 in the strike that brought industrial unions to Canada. We hear what Ed, described as the “best Prime Minister Canada never had,” thinks the political leaders should be doing now that GM — bailed out with billions from Canada — has turned its back on its workers. Plus: LA Taco’s editor Daniel Hernandez, just back from Tijuana, reports on the harrowing conditions inside the migrant refugee camp near the US-Mexico border, where thousands are sheltering, with hopes of entering the US.
We sit down with Daniel Hernandez, celebrated author, journalist & editor in chief at LA Taco. Daniel talks about growing up in San Diego, spending 8 years traveling living in & embracing Mexico City, and why independent journalism is so important in 2018. www.lataco.com
