Hi guys, I'm Matt Owen. I'm here in Los Angeles. City of Angels. Unbearable traffic city. Hollywood City. What is your dream? But the most important. City with one of the best

food

s in the country. For this video, I brought my best friend Chris. eat your way through what has probably become one of my three favorite

food

cities in the country, the others, of course, being Fargo, North Dakota, and Dubuque, whichever state Dubuque is in. I separated the restaurants into three categories: casual, cheap, mid-range, hipster, retired, recommended but not necessary and mr. fancy pants, okay la-la-land, let's go eat something delicious, since apparently every street in this city has a Spanish name and even the name of the city itself comes from the small Mexican colonial town that became this expanding metropolis.

There is no other place. To start off this video, what's Los Angeles Profitable Mexican Food Dog Tacos Our first stop on this culinary tour is Gorilla Tacos serving up some of the best and most creative tacos in the city. This place gives it a modern touch that is unique, innovative and, most importantly, delicious. At the traditional taco, their location changes daily parked in front of a different coffee shop each time and although coffee and tacos aren't exactly my perfect combination, it's a fun idea, their menu changes every Wednesday and includes unexpected creations like the taco of roasted sweet potato and a spicy, creamy almond chili sauce with feta cheese and an excellent soft shell shrimp taco and a sausage taco with a perfectly fried egg and pickled apples.

These tacos may not be the most traditional in the city, but they are certainly some of the tastiest found next to the flat taco truck. This place is a nighttime institution in this town open only from 9:00 p.m. at 1:30 or 3:30 a. depending on the night, located on the corner of Olympic, La Brea and Midtown, these tacos are some of the best in town, simple, perfectly cooked and $25 each, you simply can't go wrong here. Don't be afraid of the tongue and the taxi baits to tacos I don't even know very well what part of the head I'm eating now but this is so juicy and delicious I don't care come to me my tongue and taco your best tacos in Los Angeles without a doubt now for something completely different in the world of Mexican cuisine that we had on the outskirts of Koreatown to the magical elegance restaurant that serves recipes from Oaxaca, this place is phenomenal and if you think to yourself, yes, I have eaten decent. in low light tell me that after having eaten this it looks better than Taco Bell, friend, just a little my two favorite dishes here are the mole a negro, a traditional beyond the silky Enki creamy chocolate mole, a sauce and anything covered with the color Editha the smoky and succulent tomato-based mole, a sauce that tastes nothing like chocolate, friend, if there was a sauce made only of sex, that would be it.

I'm not sure it sounds appetizing, but it's really good, it's almost hard to put into words. how creamy and delicious was just the sound of words of valor. Next up might be one of my favorite dining experiences in the city. The Grand Central Market in the middle of surprisingly cool downtown Los Angeles. Grand Central Market has been a landmark in Los Angeles since 1917. It is home to a huge and eclectic variety of some of the best food stalls in the city. Nowhere else in Los Angeles is there such a density of incredible things from around the world.

We're going to wait. Almost everything I've tried here is fantastic, amazing, but. some of my favorite

places

are Bel Canto meat company, Sarita's pupusas, roast rhea to go, sometimes probably very dry and not only did the Jews give me a lot of pork, whatever in the history of the world There's a lot of pork, but it's a bad thing. Wurst curry shop in Berlin. stick you get in Berlin, sausage and ketchup e30, the sticky rice and the very popular egg, a surprisingly named signature egg dish, it's like a creamy poached egg on top of a mashed potato like mashed potatoes, it just has layers and it's rich, it's comfort food right there.

About a ten-minute drive from Grand Central Market is Langer's Deli, another Los Angeles landmark for over 70 years. Here they serve one of my favorite sandwiches I've had not only in Los Angeles but anywhere in the world, number 19. Strom Sandwich, you know, pop, strum of coleslaw, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing, on top of a amazing double baked rye bread. I know people love cats. I love cats. If you love cats and have never had this, make the pilgrimage to the west. I'd love to hear it. Your thoughts, the best part of the sandwich versus the cats are these in front of me, why are you so good?

Next time, Porto's and Burbank Cuban Food not only have the distinction of being one of the best

places

to eat in the city. it also made it to the top of the yelps top 100 list the bakery is full of delicious treats the cuban marinated meat dishes are to die for that star of this place for me has to be the life changing tasty fried potato bulbs , they are perfectly seasoned wraps of ground beef and mashed potatoes and then stir-fries. I'm just trying to think of anything that could be wrong with that. This time, another Natas Portuguese Bakery and Sherman Oaks, this little hole-in-the-wall Portuguese restaurant is an adorable place. to enjoy authentic Portuguese food and while everything here is good, I come by the will of fate, but it doesn't end, not like our little puff pastry cups filled with a creamy custard and then baked to perfection.

Words cannot begin to describe how delicious and addictive they are. The little things are because I'm sure these little magic cakes are laced with crack. I don't have the willpower to wait home to eat them, so I'll eat them in the parking lot for the record. These things are not. actually mixed with crack I guess I don't know, we're really moving along the original farmers market, a Los Angeles Staples since 1931, the farmers market may clash with the Disneyland-style open-air shopping center, The Grove, but This place has been around since the first time my grandmother visited Los Angeles and is still going strong, it's a little touristy yes, but it's also historically impressive and just a great place to come and feed your face stall after stall of delicious things.

My two favorite places here are Singapore Banana Leaf, be sure. for Indo style me goreng and paratha and incredibly flaky but chewy bread reminiscent of naan but also different from lotería for more delicious Mexican food, my favorite things here are tacos, Chadha and hantulaut, wheeze and a spicy green tomatillo salsa for our last restaurant in the casual section of chi beat we headed to thailand or, more accurately, to a thai restaurant in the silverlake night market. This little joint in the heart of hipster Silver Lake is authentic, affordable and just plain special. They do it right.

My favorite dishes are. Toro pork basically grilled fatty pork neck that tastes like thick bacon amazing the absurdly good fried rice with gumi and fish roe often the rice is just the base what is poured in the sauce I don't want to put any sauce on this rice It's that Well, except for a sauce that, if they offer tender Penang beef curry, much like banana leaf at the farmers market, be sure to buy that heavenly paratha. Honestly, this is the best burrata I've ever had. The next Korean barbecue is so lumpy. Interesting fact Los Angeles. It has the largest Korean population in the United States and it just goes to show that the food in this part of town is plentiful, authentic and simply amazing now that there are so many amazing places to eat here, from the corner place to the always busy kang ho-dong baek choong with a sensational but quite expensive barbecue in the park, but if I had to choose just one place, it would be a big mouthful.

This is old school k-town at its finest. The meat here is marinated to perfection and cooked over charcoal flames, which makes all the difference. The bulgogi is a good standby, but the real star here is the marinated short ribs. You may leave this place smelling like a campfire, so you may not be wearing your Sunday best, but you'll also leave with a stomach full of some otherworldly magical mate next in the little area of ​​East Hollywood known as Thai Town, we found Jitlada gym, they serve probably the best southern Thai food in the western hemisphere. The menu is huge, so let me help you with my favorite dishes.

Crying Tiger Pork, a deceptively simple dish of small pig-shaped pieces of fried potatoes with a spicy sauce, are packed with sensational flavor in a way you can't even imagine until you put one in your mouth. I also love the crunchy bell. salad a fried salad of greens, onions, fresh shrimp and the most amazing sweet, spicy, citrus dressing you have ever had, yeah I don't know why not all salads are fried, that should exist, lastly, I love mild -shell crab and a rich curry sauce the curry they slowly reduce all day is thick, creamy, sweet, spicy and perfect.

Continuing our culinary tour of Asia in Los Angeles we moved to Japan and what unfortunately for my wallet is probably my most frequented restaurant in the city. sugar, this sushi place sets itself apart from most places when it comes to moose with its incredible attention to detail, what makes this place really special is the rice, the rice is warm, it's like body temperature, If you ask any great sushi master in Japan, they will tell you that. That the most important aspect of sushi is actually the rice seems a little crazy to me because the fish seems quite important to me but I

must

say that when the rice is just right it elevates everything to an exceptional level and for around $40 for the full plate .

OVA casei or believe me, tasting menu, is a ridiculously good deal for the quality of sushi. I don't know much about who makes Matt, but I do know sushi, this transcends ordinary sushi. I just want to go back there and slap the chef. The next animal is the first of a handful of amazing restaurants opened by now-celebrity duo Jon Shake and Vinny Dotolo. All dishes are meat-centric and beautifully prepared, so, okay, my favorite dishes here are the chicken liver toast and, impossibly. Pat creamy, hey, on a piece of grilled bread, incredibly good bone marrow and they change your entire worldview about what food can be picky about.

Well, I know you're thinking pig's ear, but I'm telling you, this is like the best eggs and bacon. You didn't even know it existed. I'm pretty sure I just had an orgasm. Fortunately, I'm not in a public place and of course we can't talk about meat without talking about burgers. My favorite burger in town has to be at the lovely little french cafe at eat wha, another Jon and Vinny place along with chef Ludo Lefebvre, this place is just wonderful, just called the big robot, this double cheeseburger It's decadent, there's no other word to describe it, somewhere between a thin, casual burger and a super thick gourmet one served on a soft brioche bun with melted cheese and topped with a Bordeaux sauce made with the nectar of the gods.

This thing is ridiculous, it's messy. Yes, it is one of the best burgers in the country. Also, yes, everything else. The menu is excellent too, including some of the best snails I've had outside of Paris and the best succulent, cheesy omelette I've ever had. Honestly, I usually don't go past the burger and yes, it's $25, that's why this place. landed in the fancy pants category but I honestly don't care that the Bordeaux sauce alone is worth the price of admission and we finally ended our City of Angels food tour saving one of the best for the last pun :beast is sexy.

The Italian restaurant in the trendy downtown arts district is one of the best Italian restaurants in the country, its ingredients are meticulously sourced, the preparation is inventive, the pasta is divine, and the cavatelli and a creamy sausage truffle sauce could to be the best food in the entire city Los Angeles is truly a world class dining destination, come here for the beaches, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, that stupid tour of the houses of Hollywood stars is if you should pay for the food in a city of such enormous size that it is sometimes daunting. I still don't know what to do in this city, but like many other cities in the world, the best way to see this place is to eat and yes, many of these places that I recommend require a bit of driving.

It's unavoidable here, but get in a car or, in my case, a bike, enjoy the views, embrace the trafficsweltering and take a gastronomic pilgrimage through the City of Angels.
