Where To Eat In LA After A Bad Week

"Eating the Filipino food from this Panorama City restaurant is the equivalent of finding $20 in a jacket you haven’t worn since last winter: super comforting, and something that will always change the trajectory of your day. From extra crispy pork pata to a rich and thick kare-kare that goes heavy on the peanuts, the menu is inspired by potlucks in Filipino home cooking—dishes that could be found laid out at a birthday party. If you don’t live in the Valley, the trip out here can be a little far, but we’d commit to that drive any day, just for a cup of their bulalo soup with beef shank, potatoes, and cabbage." - brant cox
