Welcome to the land of most
 | |
lushly flourishing produce, oodles
flavors, and multicultural culinary
delights created by world's most
brilliant chefs -- the City of
Angels is a gourmand's Mecca,
providing a bill of fare that leaves
nothing to be desired to a hungry
epicure's heart. Although ridden
by a massive body cult, excellently
prepared, delectable foods are part
and parcel of an Angeleno's daily route. L.A.'s dietary map marks
bazillions of different nutrition
styles, and new diets are being
invented with every bikini season -
which is basically all the year round, btw.
Aside from being star-studded, L.A.
is brimming with palate-spoiling dining establishments casting a
blissful spell over Hollyglamour and
Hollyweird. Hence it's a foodie's
daily ritual to nosh and munch his
way through La La Lands
multi-faceted gastronomic scene.
Being up to speed on the ever-
changing, ever-reinventing itself,
and ever expanding culinary domain,
aficionados and food lovers are
always on their mission to rout out
tasty grub for every occasion, diet, palate and budget - comfort food
that satisfies every whim.
L.A.'s gourmands and their ilk
fervently debate and philosophize
about their culinary adventures
and orgastronomic experiences
for hours on end. It’s a food
aficionado's way of life to track
down and indulge in all kinds of
tasty fare at most coveted eateries, to unveil hidden mouth-
watering secrets, or raise the cup
fizzing with a trendy brew. L.A.'s
scenesters have an itch for the most elaborate, of-the-moment
culinary inventions. Eco freaks
and health-conscious go green
and dig local, organic fare. Yogis
and their likes skip the meat and
indulge in L.A.'s wide-spread
vegetarian scene. Partypeople
and hipster hanger-ons culitivate
an unmatchable bar-hopping
ceremony living it up at stylish in-
demand bars or weird watering
holes. Passionate hollybuzz takes place in the thick of lovely cafes,
where sugar-infused Angelenos
while away, exchanging latest
gossip that is as delicious as the
sugar-sweet tidbits they nosh.
Meals on wheels are being served
by food trucks to hungry souls on
the run.
Beside the nutritional aspect - which is fairly in second place -
eating (out) means socializing,
indulging, celebrating (life), and
last but not least watching people.
(Fame) hungry celebs seek for
creme-de-la-creme-kind restaurants
as much as they seek publicity and
love to hype up a dining
establishment even for the sake of a beef stake.
Being home to the most sophisticated
palates, food wanders straight back
to where it came from - the kitchen -
if it doesn't satisfy entirelly heart's,
stomach's and eye's desire. An
orgasmic dining experience -- this is
what it's all about, and there is nothing worse than routine for Angelenos
taste bunds, as it's the mix that matters
most and entering new, unexplored
culinary grounds -- to keep the magical
Hollybuzz alive.
So what's cookin in La La Land?
Strong Latin American flavors
influence Californian's fare while
spicing it up with tangy touches.
Habaneros, Serranos and Jalapenos
add pizazz to the Californian pizzas.
The Golden States' multifaceted
cuisine praises itself with freshly
prepared, locally grown natural
ingredients, using the advantages
of a perfect climate to grow about
anything. "Farm-to-table" is the
present movement among L.A.'s
finest eateries, serving what's
indigenous to the fruitful area.
Mexican specialties are a common
sight on L.A.'s restaurant menus,
as are seafood dishes and light
coastal fare rich in fresh salads
and grilled veggies. Traditional
American faves like burgers, fries,
sandwiches, and hot dogs complete
L.A.'s culinary world. Bon Appetit!
