Health food goes with Los Angeles the way Oscars just go to Meryl Streep. So pull on your Vans and step to our picks for the best healthy-ish spots in America’s best heathyish city.
Creamy beet-cacao cake for breakfast, the umami-est power bowl you’ve ever had for lunch, and a sweet, charred chickpea burger for dinner…this can’t possibly be New York City, can it?
Top 50 Finalists are... an izakaya meets Texas barbecue mash-up, a chicken Parm-slinging sandwich shop, a new-school Jewish deli, a sushi joint inspired by Latin American flavors, and 46 more.
There's a new wave of bars elevating their fare to match the quality of their drink programs. These are the six bar snacks we want to eat on repeat until the end of time (or until the beer runs out).
"Cheeseburger: It's fried 'til crisp and perfectly greasy on that flat-top griddle and blanketed in melted American cheese, and sandwiched between squishy toasted hamburgerbuns."
"The Happiest Burger: The perfect restaurant take on a fast food burger, a pair of thin griddled patties, mustard-spiked Russian dressing and shredded iceberg lettuce on a toasted Martin's Potato Roll."
"American Cheeseburger: Lightly toasted bun, pickles, onions, layers of American cheese...double stack of patties takes it ever-so-slightly over the top, without venturing into the territory of excess"
"It’s an unspoken rule that you can’t visit Sqirl and not order one of their ginormous “burned” brioche slices topped with ricotta and jam. Split it four ways and call it dessert."
"Muzzle your inner cynic before stepping into Moon Juice. My MatchaPearlmoon milk w/ added “sex dust” didn’t make me want to jump any passing men, but a stranger did compliment me on my hair later."
