Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: June 24 - Eater LA
"If I have to choose from sweet or savory, my taste buds always crave the latter. It’s admittedly a salt addiction, a characteristic that I believe is wired from birth. There is something that I love, especially when it’s hot, to dive into something deliciously alkaline-laced. Which led me to a stop at Homestate for a Frito pie in a bag. It’s one of those inexpensive and perfectly compact snacks that can even substitute for a meal if filled with HomeState’s wonderfully hearty brisket chili. That it’s served out of an actual Fritos bag is half the charm. For those avoiding meat, it can simply be filled with queso, lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, pickled red onions, and black beans. Take a fork and dig in immediately while taking great care to get every ingredient in one bite. This is also something to enjoy in person. Delivery or takeout will ruin the magic of the dish’s crispy corn chips and warm queso." - Eater Staff
