The Best Food, Wine, & Recipes from East LA Meets Napa 2017
A wine tasting journey without having to leave Los Angeles. On July 28th, 2017, another unforgettable East LA Meets Napa food & wine festival supporting AltaMed happened. It was The Hollywood Home’s second year attending the only festival, which celebrates the richness of Latin food and the success of Latino-owned vineyards in Napa, throughout California, and the quaint Spanish countrysides. Plus live performances from Pancho Sanchez, Ozomatli, Jose Rizo, and Boogaloo Assassins. Inside you’ll find all the best cuisine from 80+ local restaurants, plus your new favorite bottle of wine, a family paella recipe, and a recipe for ‘Pernil’ Mojo Marinated Pork Tenderloin that’s healthy as it is delicioso.

Whether you’re a vegan, vegetarian, or serious carnivore Smorgasburg has you covered with dozens of food trucks and pop ups from all over LA and serving a serious array of dishes from all over the world. It’s the foodiest food festival in Los Angeles.
Find Your True Fork at Wanderlust Hollywood
Wanderlust Hollywood is quickly becoming a one stop shop for Angelenos interested in yoga, nutrition, and meditation. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Wanderlust also hosts film screenings, jewelry making, comedy shows, and, yes, my favorite, wine tastings all in their Highland Avenue outpost. This summer, Wanderlust Hollywood is hosting the Find Your True Fork dinner series that promises to showcase healthy, sustainable and ethical food choices through the lens of six influential chefs, spotlighting their own unique approaches to mindful eating with themed dinners and food experiences. Their next dinner will host chef Seamus Mullen and I hope to see you there! Plus, there’s a cookbook so we’ll be able to make these delicious meals at home! Gather, dine, explore and expand your palate and find the true fork that suits you.
Get Down to Wolfdown in Silver Lake
Wolfdown has finally opened in Silver Lake. The restaurant, in the former longtime Nicky D’s Pizza space, is from Jason and Chrissy Kim, the proprietors of nearby Sunset Boulevard stalwart Forage. The stunning remodeled space is like climbing into an adult-friendly treehouse (unlike Forage, there’sna beer and wine), the desserts are delicious, and pretty soon everyone in town is going to be talking about Wolfdown’s Korean fried chicken.

A Foodie’s Guide to Malibu Restaurants
Summer is less than a month away and like a lot of Angelenos lately I’ve been mapping out beach days in my mind. My map, of course, usually begins and ends with where to eat in Malibu. The 30 miles of coastline northwest of LA is home to a few classic seafood shacks, celebrity haunts, and local favorites. And while Malibu Seafood and The Farm are both excellent, there are many more Malibu restaurants you need to try. Here’s a handy guide on where to dine in Malibu.
