Coming soon: the Los Angeles Times' annual 101 list! Join us Monday, Dec. 7 at 5 p.m. to celebrate the restaurants, dishes and people that make Los Angeles the best food city in America.

Pop-ups can be ephemeral, but it felt right to acknowledge their contributions to the community in this year’s Los Angeles Times 101 list. Here are 11 takeout pop-ups you should be considering, compiled by our critics Bill Addison and Patricia Isabel Escárcega: latimes.com/food/story/202…

THREAD: Our statement on Congress' new deal on COVID relief aid: “This bill falls woefully short of giving 11 million independent restaurant workers the job security they need before the holidays.” Read more ⬇️

Found my way to Macheen via @lataco, so double thanks Javier Cabral!

Congrats to ⁦Kevin Merida⁩, the new executive editor at Los Angeles Times! latimes.com/entertainment-…

That can soon be arranged ...

Editing Bill Esparza has been one of the great honors of the last, oh, DECADE that we've been collaborating. These four food/travel stories are nothing short of bonkers beautiful. A special thanks to Matthew Kang whose vision guided the whole shebang!

Restaurant reviews are back! Here's Bill Addison on Shiku latimes.com/food/story/202…

We're hiring an audience editor for L.A. Times Food Come work with us to build community and translate reviews, features and videos to IG, TikTok etc. Oh and we have a test kitchen in El Segundo so, I mean, hello! That will be fun to use! nantmedia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/LATimesC…

Ahh, this is a nice bit of news to receive as I struggle with words for L.A. Times Food's big annual project on a Saturday night. Thanks, IACP Culinary 🍴 :)

Toasting y’all from [redacted] 😏🥂 #101list

CRITIC'S CHOICE: Here is The Times' first big restaurant review of the year, a beauty by Bill Addison, arguing Horses is a new LA institution — got to eat there last month, it is unusually sophisticated *without pretense, an "exquisite creature" 🍽️🍷: latimes.com/food/story/202…

A new era ☀️

Stunned. Grateful for the recognition and to be in such incredible company. Congratulations to Louisa Chu 朱功蕾 and @hooleil!!!!

Devastatingly good writing ⬇️: "The tortilla smells of corn warmed by sunshine. Your eyes gauge the best starting point to dive in; it’s at the crease, where you’ll find a density of tastes and textures. A two-toned crackle-crunch rings in your jaw." 😊latimes.com/food/story/202…

Overwhelmed by this. Truly. Bill Addison, PatSharpe, Pete Wells, Hannah Raskin , Brett Martin, Brett Anderson, Matthew Odam—you're the best. American restaurant critics reflect on Alison Cook: 'We should all be studying Alison's life work' houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/r… via @houstonchron
