"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." -Virginia Woolf

Enter Downtown Los Angeles: busy, noisy streets, smog, chaos, homeless people, crime, wealth, fashion, culture, you name it, LA has it. That being said, this cultural meltingpot is home to some of the finest and diverse dining in the world. Few cities can compare with the vast array of cuisine on any given street, at any given time.

Unfortunately, however, most people overlook the unparalled dining experiences this great city has to offer because most eateries in LA are hard to find, or are only truly explored by true Angelos. Fortunately for you, I am opening the discussion to everyone, so that locals, tourists, and visitors alike can all eat at the same tables, and enjoy the food and culture throughout this city.

For the past two years, I have made a strong effort to familiarize myself with downtown LA, and embrace the culture and the food as much as I could. I am not talking about the fine dining experience that you can get from anywhere, I'm talking about the unique dining experience you get from eating the perfect Al-Pastor taco hot off the spit in the Pico Union, to the perfect piece of sashimi you will find on 1st and Beaudry.
 
As a result, I have not only have eaten to my hearts content, but I have observed and embraced a culture that is not even known to those who call LA home.
