L.A Genuine Foods Dilemma
July 2011
Hello food lovers!
I'm looking to compile a list of genuine L.A foods, but it's very difficult to figure it out just because LA is such a diverse and global city. If a visitor is curious about L.A, what popular dishes should one necessarily try? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Jeff

L.A Genuine Foods Dilemma
July 2011
I always found food in L.A. to be less than memorable. The influence seems to be mostly Mexican or Tex-Mex, the one and only thing that I really enjoyed, was El Pollo Loco which is similar to Nandos. Of course that's "fast food" but nothing else actually stood out. Some of the BBQ is good but not unique to L.A. and have had some lovely brunches at The Cannery at Newport but their menu isn't unique either. I can't think of anything that screams "you can't leave L.A. without trying....".

Thank you for the reply! I needed the info for a contribution I'm making to the Food WIki - MyCityCuisine. If are curious to see what I have come up so far, follow this link: http://www.mycitycuisine.org/wiki/Los_Angeles
I hope it's accurate. I've talked to a lot of locals and this is what they suggested. Anyone if free to contribute/modify and so on. And thanks again for reaching out, Jeff!
