December 23,

For some, Chinese food on and around Christmas is as important a

tradition as a holiday ham, a custom born out of convenience and

necessity as much as choice. Usually it's the Cantonese-American

classics that find their way to the table, but there's a multitude of

regional Chinese cuisines to be had locally.The recently-relocated

Beijing [...]

December is never a month to remember as the waistline goes, so

while you're at it, you might as well forgo the fruitcake this holiday

season and head instead to Cerritos for some Filipino treats. At Red

Ribbon Bakeshop, the experience is sterile and streamlined in a way only

a chain can achieve, but the [...]

If they're not already near the top, pupusas are well on their

way to becoming one of Southern California's favorite Latin American

imports. The Salvadoran specialty has no chance of unseating the

infinitely variable taco, but the pupusa's appeal is obvious and

immediate: a chubby corn-flour disc stuffed with everything from fatty

bits of pork [...]

There's no dearth of delis around here. Above maybe all other

foodstuffs, greater Long Beach loves its cured and smoked meats. But

don't go looking for matzo balls; our deli tradition is mostly an

Italian one, evidenced admirably by Angelo's Italian Deli, Foggia

Italian Market & Deli and Santa Fe Importers. If all went well,

[...]

The hungry strikers who frequent Cal Bowl have long claimed one

of the more enviable positions at local lanes: easy access to M&M

Soul Food. Absent are the stale nachos and skunked beers that plague

bowling alleys far and wide; instead, there are short ribs, fried

chicken and collard greens. Recently, however, the Lakewood M&M

Even in this domestic renaissance that has brought forth a

renewed appreciation for and interest in serious cooking, Thanksgiving,

like all our hallowed institutions, is still subjected to the dulling

effects of the modern world. Some traditionalists spend days in the

kitchen cooking everything from scratch, but most families now

mix-and-match store-bought dishes with their [...]

There's been a hole in Bixby Knolls ever since La Vineria

Italiana went dark, a closure that left Atlantic Ave. without a sure

source of small-plate dining and the associated drinking. But the

Factory, a self-proclaimed gastrobar set to open in the very same space

as La Vineria, is here to fill that void and [...]

A good happy hour can be hard to find, especially if your

expectations about what constitutes "good" go beyond more than just

discounted well drinks and a chips-and-salsa bar. Locally, there's our

beloved happy hour hero the Yard House, where beginning at 3 p.m. you

can snatch a $4 pint of Stone Ruination (all crafts/imports [...]

October 28,

Nothing can quite fulfill a sudden, out-of-season hunger for pan

de muerto, the bread of the dead that's a sweet staple of Día de los

Muertos gatherings. Thankfully, those sugary loaves are in the oven this

very moment, soon to be sliced and served at Día de los Muertos

celebrations all over Southern California, presumably [...]

Giving, it seems, is often only a yearly occurrence, a single

surge of goodwill propelled mostly by the holidays. Local food banks

that are dry during the other nine months of the year suddenly see a

swell in supply that correlates precisely with the giving season and

disappears as soon as it's over. But in [...]
