It’s the one big U.S. city that makes me feel like it’s very similar to the range and vibes of the big Asian cities I love, with regards to food and food quality
I really want to do a deep dive into how new Chinese immigration has made Monterey park a phenomenal hotspot of Chinese cuisine
Also, the range and depth of Mexican food (duh) and Korean regional cuisines, so between all of these things I feel like there is an endless exploration of LA and the many diverse communities in it, through its food, in a way that is very deeply satisfying to me (in the same way SF’s food scene isn’t)
