Ronald Reagan being inducted into the L.A. Breakfast Club, Herald-Examiner, July 26, 1967
Every Wednesday morning for over 90 years, Angelenos have gathered together in Griffith Park to sing songs, recite a strange poem, meet new friends and breakfast on ham and eggs. Or, as the members of the Los Angeles Breakfast Club would say: MNX.
Desert Lilies
Carpets of desert flowers are currently filling Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, and so are crowds of flower-seeking visitors. But the bloom won't end with Anza-Borrego.
Walnut Seedling
The Theodore Payne Foundation, located in Sun Valley, is a 22-acre gem with a sprawling collection of native California plants. It is also Los Angeles’ largest native plant nursery, with an assemblage of 600 to 700 plants at any given time.
Del Monte Speakeasy
Today, you can track down traces of those days before the ratification of the 21st Amendment, without worry of police raids or mob ties or stock market crashes. You just have to know where to look.
Millet soup
Easy to make and perfect for cold and rainy days. A millet soup is also a great dish to soothe upset stomach and in general is a suitable warm dish for a well-balanced diet.
Millet Patty
Serve these millet patties as sliders or a burger on a gluten-free bun, add a fried egg on top and all your favorite fixin’s! They also go really well with a tzatziki or yogurt-herb dip and a side salad.
Sudanese Falafel
Falafels are Amin Musa's bread and butter. And so when he moved to Los Angeles, he opened his first food venture — a vegan falafel joint with the Sudanese twist. The food stand, named Ihsan’s, makes its rounds across various farmers’ markets in L.A.
Lu's Garden Buffet
San Gabriel has strong sociocultural roots woven mostly by descendants of descendants from Central America, East and Southeast Asia, Western Europe, and those native to California. These inhabitants have informed the city’s culinary DNA.
Wheat
The promise of a world with local, whole grains may unearth new possibilities for millions of eaters. And those possibilities will dramatically improve our earth, unlocking the potential for a wheat-based diet to repair the food system and our health.
Los Angeles City Hall
If you’d like nothing more than to kick up your heels to the Charleston or the Foxtrot in some “Roaring Twenties” garb, celebrating the magic of the Jazz Age, then it’s time to immerse yourself in all the Art Deco that Los Angeles has to offer.
Himalayan House
From the paleta cart to a burger counter, many food spots in University Park, Exposition Park, and Adams-Normandie offer unpretentious fare to families gathering for after-church meals, couples on their first dates, and college friends looking for grub.
Foraged Green Bundle
When it comes to healthy eating, we’re all about our superfoods and leafy greens. But did you know that leafy greens grow wildly all around L.A., and that they are invasive, abundant and delicious? And that by eating them, you are helping the environment?
