  • Los Angeles Vacation Planner: How to Eat Your Way Around LA In
    Filipino star Ma'am Sir is one of LA's best new restaurants | Fried Chicken Sandwich Studios Filipino star Ma'am Sir is one of LA's best new restaurants | Fried Chicken Sandwich Studios TRAVEL Presented By It may come as a bit of a shock that Los Angeles, a place often imagined for beach bodies and plastic surgery, would be the ultimate destination for a vacation based around eating, but life is full of surprises. You’ll hear stories about how LA has “finally” figured out our culinary scene in the last few years (thanks for the pity visit, Michelin!), but the fact is that the city has always had a killer food scene. This is a city where ex-Nobu busboys open their own Mexican sushi restaurants , a city that essentially jump-started the food truck revolution (thanks Roy Choi!). It's where you can turn a quiet corner corner and walk directly into the heart of a Guatemalan street food market, or find world’s-best-sushi contenders in the dusty corners of a strip mall. LA is stuffed top to bottom with incredible things to eat. It's also, you know, one of America's biggest and most vibrant cities. And one of the best ways to see LA at its best is through the lens of food -- something that makes LA one of the 20 Best Places for a Big Trip in 2020 . In this guide, we’re talking about the Los Angeles of 2020. We're not sending you to Rodeo Drive, the Walk of Fame, old-world LA legacy restaurants, or any of Wolfgang Puck’s Beverly Hills establishments.

  • Maxwell Street Market Guide, 2009-10 October 20, 2009
    Maxwell Street Market Guide, 2009-10 October 20, 2009 Today’s Maxwell Street Market is located on Desplaines, between Roosevelt on the south side and around Harrison on the north side. It’s open for business every Sunday, in any kind of weather, from around 7AM until around 3PM. You can get there by train, car or bike. Train. Pink or Green Lines to Clinton; walk two streets west to Desplaines and then about a mile south, passing: • Haymarket memorial, just south of Lake, commemorating the “riot” or “massacre” of 1886 when a bomb was thrown at a meeting of striking workers, killing police and civilians. • St. Patrick’s Church, 711 W. Monroe, Chicago’s oldest church (go ahead, walk in); as you pass the church headed south, glance around to your right and you’ll see Greektown across the expressway. • The Chicago Fire Academy, 558 W. DeKoven, between Jefferson and Clinton, built at the location where O’Leary’s cow is said to have kicked over a lantern, starting the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Car. If you’re Mapquesting, use the intersection of Roosevelt/Desplaines as your destination. We usually park in a metered spot on Clinton or Jefferson, but there are several lots, including one that’s seems decently priced on Clinton around 14th Street and one that’s much closer to the MSM at Polk and Jefferson and that charges only $8.00 for pretty much the whole day. Bike. There are designated bike lanes on Roosevelt, Taylor, Halsted, Clinton and Canal. Kozy's at Desplaines and Polk (on north side of MSM) is a good meeting spot and there are several bicycle racks outside the store on Polk.

  • Fiesta Time: Take a Tour Through Cantina Laredo
    Fiesta Time: Take a Tour Through Cantina Laredo Posted October 18, 2011 8:30 am by Rebecca Taras Once the cooler weather kicks in and it starts getting dark by 5 p.m., I've got one thing on my mind: a warm-weather vacay. When jetting off to paradise isn't an option, try escaping to a new dining destination in town; margaritas abound. Texas transplant Cantina Laredo (508 N. State St., 312-955-0014) recently opened its first Illinois-based location — and who would have guessed we were on the list after the UAE and UK. While Cantina Laredo is a chain, its "modern Mexican" cuisine is anything but the Chi Chi's food of yesteryear. See for yourself — and taste later. Designed by Weiss Architects, Cantina Laredo was built from the ground up on the corner of State and Illinois in the River North neighborhood. With the first floor taking over 12,300 square feet and the second floor 6,100 square feet, the space is large enough to feed a Mexican army — or a pack of hungry Chicagoans. Sadly, we'll have to wait until next year to take advantage of the outdoor patio and rooftop deck. Passionate about Mexican cuisine and culture, executive chef Larry Sinclair found his niche after working as the culinary partner for P.F. Chang's China Bistro for seven years. Sinclair transferred from Cantina's Nashville location to lead the kitchen here in Chi-town. He sources many of his ingredients locally from 5 Rabbit Brewing, Goose Island, North Shore Distillery, City Fresh Market, Pastoral, and Fox and Obel.

  • 10 Top Spots for Tacos in San Diego by LISA HILLEBRECHT on OCTOBER 3, 2016
    10 Top Spots for Tacos in San Diego BY LISA HILLEBRECHT ON OCTOBER 3, 2016 Tacos el Gordo brings over-the-border flair to its popular Mexican fare. Whether it’s Taco Tuesday, National Taco Day or any day of the week— America’s Finest City takes their tacos very seriously. Here’s our roundup of some top stops for your taco fix in San Diego. Edited by Lisa Kelley Tacos el Gordo de Tijuana The Tijuana-based taco shop has expanded into San Diego and Las Vegas in recent years and its crazy popularity means you should expect a line out the door at most times of the day. We recommend the adobada with fresh-sliced spiced pork on a corn tortilla; or opt for the carne aside, squared or azteca with grilled beef and cactus. More adventurous diners can opt for tripa (beef tripe), cabeza (beef head), buche (pork stomach) and lengua (beef tongue). Don’t leave without grabbing some helado-the Mexican ice cream comes in tons of flavors but our favorites are coffee, cookies and cream and strawberry. 3265 Palm Ave., Otay Mesa West, 619.575.7280 and 689 H St., Chula Vista, 619.691.8848. tacoselgordobc.com Salud! As one of San Diego’s favorite stops for authentic Mexican food, Barrio Logan’s Salud! knows their tacos. Tuesdays, enjoy three tacos for $5 including their carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, birria and more. Save room for churros and ice cream or their tamarindo apple for dessert. 2196 Logan Ave., Barrio Logan, 619.255.3856. saludsd.com Pueblo Brand new to the Pacific Beach neighborhood and only blocks from the beach, Pueblo showcases a Latin coastal menu sourcing local ingredients whenever possible.
