My Ever-Morphing L.A. Restaurant To-Do List
[photo taken at Gjelina]
On my web browser I have a folder called "LaFOOD" and any time I see an article or a blog post about a restaurant I want to try, I save it to that folder. As you can imagine, after two years here, that folder's grown quite unwieldy. I was just about to organize it for myself when I thought: "Why don't I turn it into a blog post?" So what follows is a list of L.A. restaurants that I haven't been to yet with links to the stories that inspired me to bookmark them*, organized by cuisine. Of course this list will grow and morph over time as I check off places and add new ones to my folder; but for now I think I have my work cut out for me. (* Note: some of the links are just links to the restaurants because I must've bookmarked them after hearing about them out in the world. Also, sometimes multiple restaurants link to the same article because that's where I heard about them all.)
