I haven’t lived in LA long, but in my short time here I’ve gotten to explore the different cuisines that Los Angeles has to offer. Here are some of my favorites:
1. Islands– this is a great American style restaurant that is famous for their very delicious and unique burgers.
Favorite things to get:
-Kilauea Burger
-Kona Pie
2. The Farm- This is a great place to go to brunch. I went here my freshman year for parents weekend and it was a good mix of classy and delicious.
Favorite thing to get:
-Eggs Benedict
3. The Farmer’s Market at the Grove– This is probably my all time favorite place to eat in LA. It has a wide assortment of authentic food: everything from Greek to Mexican to an entire stand full of every type of candy imaginable. Plus if you’re lucky you’ll see a celebrity; I’ve seen my fare share at the grove.
Favorite thing to get:
-I usually go to the crepe stand where I get “le Marie Antoinette” which is a breakfast type crepe. You get to choose four items from a list of cheeses, vegetables, meats and eggs. It’s superb.
4. BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse– This is a great place to stuff yourself silly. When I go, I always get the same things:
-Deep dish pizza- you can choose from many different kinds, but definitely get the deep dish, it’s worth it.
-Pizookie- This is just as good as it sounds. It’s a warm freshly baked cookie topped with ice cream. The combination of warm and cold makes it delicious.
