"It doesn’t get any more classic than Meals By Genet, a restaurant in Little Ethiopia that serves some of the best food in Los Angeles. Now open for takeout, you can get all of their incredible dishes to-go, like a super-spicy doro wot, a fragrant chicken stew that’s marinated for 50 hours (!!), or their vegetarian combination, a massive platter that brings together every side dish on the menu, like collard greens, split peas, green lentils, and pureed sunflower seeds, and is served with an absolute brick of injera bread. Injera it into our veins? We’ll work on that one." - kat hong
