Healthy restaurants in Los Angeles.
Written by Gillian McKeith
Los Angeles has the produce, the growing season and the appetite, and that combination is why I so often find the best plant cooking in America out here rather than on the East Coast.
My list spans the Westside, Silver Lake and downtown: raw kitchens, organic cafes, and full dining rooms built from the ground up around vegetables.
Clever marketing counts for nothing with me. Sourcing and cooking count for everything.
