"If you’ve driven around LACC’s East Hollywood campus, you know the area has a lot of fast-casual spots designed to feed the hordes of college students and medical workers in the area. Consider Bridgetown Roti queen of them all. This colorful cafe serves Trinidad and Barbados-inspired dishes like goat roti wraps, coco bread cutters, and fried cod cakes, all of which pop with bold spices and decadent flavors that send you straight to the moon. A few turmeric-colored patties from their hot case are a dream scenario for a quick meal, but Bridgetown’s range of talent is best experienced with a full sit-down spread of curry-laced mac and cheese, fried plantains, and callaloo (braised greens.) Whichever route you choose, load up on the house hot sauces like mango-masala and pineapple-habanero that pair well with everything." - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
