With shutdowns and safer-at-home orders, it’s never been so important to support LA’s restaurants. Take out, delivery and gift cards are some options. It's also important to think about our local shops this holiday season. Good Food host Evan Kleiman offers gift ideas from right here in Los Angeles.
Prospect Pine - Hand-dyed clothing designed, made, and dyed by Chef Josef Centeno.
Sonoko Sakai - Japanese Curry Brick Kit. Sakai is a California-based Japanese cook and writer. She has a lot of great Japanese ingredients and gifts on her website.
Masienda’s Masa Starter Kit - comes with a tortilla press and two bags of masa flour.
“Take Away LA” - food and drink book series focused on keeping our venues alive and our creatives busy. These mini books from LA restaurants are destined to be collectables. All the money goes to the venues.
