Walking in LA

Everyone warned me that there was no decent food in Los Angeles - only taco wagons and prissy celeb hangouts. But surely even the rich and beautiful people get hungry?

I had 8 days to eat my way through the best of the LA food scene and there were lots of surprises. Rillettes and charcuterie are currently all the rage.  Ethnic food abounds in areas like 'Tehrangeles' and 'Little Ethiopia'. Tiny diners and taco wagons serve the best Mexican and Korean food in North America.

Cooler still is that most of the city's top chefs and restauranteurs are females. Women like Nancy Silverton, Suzanne Goin and Corina Weibel have turned Angelenos into connoisseurs of sourdough bread, sweetbreads and duck confit.  It seems that the city of juice bars, sushi and detox has finally learned how to let her hair down and have a little fun.
